When a young ball player is pur.
chased or drafted from a minor league
club he has taken only one Of the
steps toward the goal Of a career in
basebaii's elect.
He has still 10 make good and the
chances OF his doing SO the nrst year
are small--say about one in ten. There
Is, however, always the chance that
the club, instead OF discarding the
man Immediately, after a slant at
his work at the southern training
camp, will turn him over to some
good club OF one Of the leading minor
leagues for another year of service
In a location where his work can be
carefully watched and with q view TO
giving the man more thorough try
out year hence.
II is TO such players that the remark
made above Is most applicable.
When a big-lesgue ball club deter.
mines TO place" a man for another
year Of seasoning, n usually sends him
10 the American association, the East
ern league or the Tri-State. these three
organizations being the most powerful
OF those organizations situated within
handy distance OF the American and
National circuits. A salary arrange
ment Is. OF course, necessary, IL being
the custom Of the minor.league team
10 pay the player according 70 the
terms OF the contract which he signed
with the big club that farmed him out.

All the three leagues mentioned have
this winter adopted a rigid salary linn.
IL, and II 10 a generally accepted be-
lief that they are Intending to stick
to IL. The proba are that the
average pay OF player in one OF these
leagues will hover around the $1,000
mark, being a shade below that figure.
rather than above. or course. for a
real star player, the salary TO be given
may reasonably be expected TO be
somewhat more than that fgure-say
$1,000 for good. average ball player
OF demonstrated ability and promising
possibilities, with 5000 more In the
event OF the mans being already very
near TO big-league class. The times
are past, however, when the three min
or leagues mentioned are going to pay
any man outside Of playing manager,
more than $500 q year and there 10
an absolute certainty that none Of the
teams will assume any Of those 81 800
and $4,000 contracts which have re-.
warded some Of the star Juveniles Of
several years ago.
The natural result of this condition
is found In the reluctance of the big.
league clubs TO offer the recruits any
contracts which will prevent them
from being farmed out.

SPORTS
WILL AGAIN TRY
FOR POLO START

Just what will be done in the way
of polo on Saturday next 10 one at
present knows. When the season was
projected it was confidently hoped
that practice would be started and
continued with a will; but the expe-
rience of last Saturday when only
a few of the steadies appeared, was
surely not encouraging.
George Angus who has the matter
in hand, stated this morning that a
special meeting or players would be
held this week to talk over the sit
uation. This conference will not take
place until after the arrival of the
Korea on Wednesday, 1t is hoped that
as a result of it the sport can be
made to take a new start.
