ATHLETES
COST MONEY

The question is frequently asked
how the salary list of the Washing
ton club compares with that Of its
rivals Because the team has been
consistently low in the race there are
those who would believe that the
players pay was in keeping with the
teams standing. But such is not the
case. II the Washington club has
made any mistakes il has been in be-
ing too liberal with Il splayers. To
a great extent the clubs policy of Sc
curing PLAYERS from other major
league teams has been responsible for
this condition.
On every occasion that a season
player has been secured it has been
necessary TO assume the contract he
had with the club which let him so.
In several instances il was because OF
the big salary the player was drawing
that he was allowed 10 come here.
That was the case with both Fiber
field and Gessler. and Schaefer drew
as much pay here as he did with the
American league champions.
Once player gets taste OF big
figures in his contract and he does not
relish a cut To secure a player from
one team and not pay him as much
as he was getting has never been the
policy OF the Washington club for the
reason that IL has tried 10 encourage
it's players To give the team his best
efforts. which the player would hardiy
do il he started in by being cut

PALTRY SUM.
FOR MUGGSY
Meeting Of American League.

NEW YORK. Nov 24.-There is a
persistent rumor in baseball circles
here today. emanating from the west
that John j. McGraw, the manager Of
the New York National league team,
has shown his new contract To per-
sonal friends, and that it calls for
five years service at $4,000 a year
Ii these figures are true. McGraw is
certainly the highest priced man in
baseball. and probably the highest
priced the game will ever know.
II is rumored that the big salary Ia
more in the nature OF reward. than
il is actual payment for the services
McGraw will render i'm the next Ave
years In other words, lie is being
given a dividend on the vast amount
OF money he has made for the owners
by keeping the Giants always in the
running and within striking distance
of pennant.
There are those who say McGraw
flirted with Fletcher. the man who Is
threatening 10 start new league. and
thar when owner John T. Brush heard
of It, he made IL worth McGraw'
while to stay with the Giants.

and there, late In the fall of 1898 the

permitted TO place a club In the

York Giants. the club which then rep
resented the National league in the
