perimenting in the buying of players
Not only must the expense. including
salary, railroad fare and hotel expenses
of the different scouts be figured in
but then comes the real, actual, tan
gible expense-the purchase price of
the player
The Brooklyn club has this year al
ready spent $13.950 in buying new
players. This amount is said to in
clude the names of u men, the star of
which, undoubtedly, is Catcher Erwin,
secured from the Rochester Eastern
league club. He is the leading catcher
of that organization, and cost the
Brooklyn club comparatively little
money as far as actual cash goes. as
he was brought or rather figured in a
player deal early in the season. Gin
cinnati, Detroit. Chicago. Americans
and Nationals. Philadelphia. American
and both st. Louis clubs We're all after
this player but Ebbets landed him for
Brooklyn. 1t looks as if he has landed
the real prize of the season.
Another player that was in wide de-
mand was Shortstop Blackburn of the
Providence team. Pittsburg. New York
Americans, Washington, both Chicago
clubs and both ST. Louis clubs were
bidding on him. but Charlie Comiskey

with a cash consideration for a star,
that makes it hard to figure just what
money changes hands in baseball
transactions each season.
Pay Out Big Sums.
Brooklyn. as slater. has already paid
out $13 $50 and will probably spend
land has invested $4,000 in new play
ers, and is still buying available pros
years Comiskey OF the White Sox has
cut loose the bank roll, and is already
minus about $4,000, representing new
blood for his team. Frnak Nevin the
Detroit owner has been buying players
right and left, and has about $4,000
invested in young blood, a lot of which
may not be seen in Detroit for a couple
OF years.
Connie Mack is another man who has
been busy this summer buying up new
talent, but CONNIE digs MS 1feSh out
of the bushes. where it costs but little.
and then develops them himself. Pitts
burg has not gone as far as some of
the other clubs in buying up new mate
rial. but Barney DreyfusS IS always
there when the draft time comes. and
he will have to separate himself from
a bunch of money before he is through
settling with such clubs that he has
bought players from.
Summing the whole thing up it is
