All kinds of reports are circulating mund th learae anent the propos ed observance of the salary limit. It Is aald that this limit will be less ob served than ever before by at least a majority of the clubs. Hereioiore some of the clubs did recognize the spirit of the limit rule, if not the let ter, and strove to keep as near the bounds as they possibly could. A ros ier of some of the clubs of the league, even at this early date, would indi cate that players are being signed without regard for a salary limit. . Not an Error in 131 Games. The wonderful record given Out fielder Joe Schrall in the New York State League official averages, where in he is credited with having play ed In 131 games without a fielding er ror, while considered incredible by many, in my judgment, is fully war ranted. I am informed that in only a single instance was there any doubt about Schrall's having a perfect rec ord, and that was on a play that might have been scored as an error against him on a very difficult chance, yet it was the judgment of the players, and scorers, as well, that he was en titled to the clemency, that was exer cised. Schrall's work throughout the season was of a stellar character. Big League Games. In the American League last year $12 games were played. In only 32 games did one team make 15 hits or more. Sixteen hits were made in six, seventeen in six. while there were two eighteen-hit contests. One team made 19 hits once, and there were games of 19. 20, 22 and 25 swats. The 25 were made by Detroit against Vickers, Schlitzer and Maxwell, of Philadel DLVMOXD DOPE. Ed Hornhorst has been released by Boston to the Augusta. Ga., South? At lantic team, and will be given another bit of seasoning. berth with the Chicago Americans at a salary of $1,500. It is reported that Cox will not accept the offer, but will remain in Atlanta .and practice law. M. L. McLaughlin, known to local fans as "Father McLaughlin," will hold the indicator irr the cotton States League this season. One -or. "Father's brother umpires, just ap pointed, will be Rev. H. L.

' Manager Finn, of the Little Rock club, in speaking of his team for this year, has the following to say of Fullenwider: "Pitcher Fullenwider, with last year's Charlotte, N. C team, comes very highly recommend ed by a number who- have seen him work. His last yearns manager, who told. Manager Finn that any time we thought we did not want him, the draft price was waiting for us." At the recent meeting of the direc tors of the Virginia League the salary limit was raised from $1,500 to $1,700 per month and each team to be lim ited to 12 men, exclusive of the play ing manager. The fans will rejoice to know that Joe Drumm, "Genial Joe," has signed and returned his contract to Manager Collins for the "coming season, and will be seen again this year on the local diamond. Drumm was a prime favorite with everyone last year, and always wore the same smile whether he won a victory or suffered defeat. MAY BUILD NEW MILL JIT SALISBURY Erwin.

It is an ideal institution for borrowers, we are warranted, after 26 years' experience, thought and consideration, to assert that, for the non-borrower, otherwise known as - the 'INVESTOR CLASS," there is to-day no moneyed institution in existence which, considering the almost absolute safety of the. investment, offers such large returns as the Mechanics' Perpetual . Building and Loan Association; come you NON-BORROWERS, let us reason together. t . If you deposit your money at 4 per cent., on which you are liable for a tax of 2 1-6, it leaves you net only 1 5-6 per cent.; money lent on . mortgage at 6 per , cent, leaves you Net (after paying the taxes of 2 1-6 ,per cent.)' only 3 5-6 per cent., whereas if deposited . with us I. e. taking shares, you will make net (as WE pay your taxes) 6 1-4 per cent.; but this is not all, as when you deposit in a savings institution, at yo.ur pleasure, you May deposit and again you MAY NOT and more . likely . you may NOT; whereas when you subscribe to shares with us, the periodi cal regularity the dues have to be paid Is the greatest factor in educating you Into the "saving habit" until it becomes your'sec ond nature, as It were, and hence you will and must save!
