not go much over 1000. And for ev-
cry reserve player drawing salary there
are ten independents getting their daily
bread out OF baseball. In other words,
fully $4,000 people in America are
drawing living salaries because they
can catch. throw and hit a ball with
some degree of skill. That the nation
al game has grown into a tremendous
business during the past few years is
putting IL mildly, for besides the great
army OF players other employees OF
