SOME sGUTHPAWs
LOSE VALUE QUICKLY.

New YerkC Club owners think it's
a dangerous thing nowadays to turn
down an offer, Of $4,000 for a star
left-handei.. They point to Young
Cy Young and Ed Karger to illustrate
their theory. Either man could have
been sold for this amount two years
ago. Now Brakeman Irving is in
Minneapolis and "Tex" in st. Paul and
they are not setting the American as
sociation ON fire with their work,
either: The National league teams let
them drop out of fast company, when
81, 500 would have procured either
man. A Ieft-hander who lasts three
years in fast company is an excep'
tion..
