GREAT CHANGE MADE
IN RECRUITING KIDS
Big Leagues Look for Their
Young Players in the Small
Organizations.

There has been noticeable change IN
the methods of big league teams drawing
on the minor circuits for young players.
There was time when virtually all the
recruits came 10 the ma jors from the
Eastern League and the American Asso-
citation. the two strongest minor circuits.
But of late years the scouts have been
paying more attention to the smaller
leagues. Apparently they find better ma
terial in them than in the two crack
minor organizations. There is a reason
for this.
majority OF the players on many of
the teams I'm the American Association
and Eastern League are cast-off big
league players. Some of these men. who
are doing good work in the two leagues.
have been repeatedly tried in the asst set
and have been found wanting. Scouts.
therefore. fight shy If them. n
AS for the youngsters. the scoGSny sys-
tenn has 50 broadened i'm late years that
the promising young players are picked
chance of getting into the Eastern League
or American ASSOCIATION. as they would
in the natural order of events.
There are a number of exceptions. but
more and more are the two leading minor
circuits being abandoned by the scouts
as a place to recruit players.
II has been Connie Mack's practice for
years to look To the more obscure leagues
for his players. IL was something or a
SURPRISE when IL was announced that ne
had paid $1,000 for the release of Lefty
Russell.

year earlier than Wagner. and though
he has fallen below 800. this in recent
years, he batted hard enough In other
years to bring his figures up to .344 lila.
His drop out of the charmed 800 circle
came in 1907 and 1908, the two years In
which he was burdened with managerial
cares of losing team. Strangely
enough. both of the great batters have
played In but two cities during their big
league careers. Lajoie started with the
Philadelphia club in 1895 and stayed
there until lie Joined the Athletics of the
American League, also a Philadelphia
club. during the war. From Philadelphia
he was forced to Cleveland by the in
junction suits entered by the Phillies.
Thus Lajoie has played in only Philadel-
phia and Cleveland.
Wagner began his career with Louis
vile in 1897. and when the Louisville
club was consolidated with Pittsburg,
couple of years later. he went with Bar
ney Dreyfuss to the latter city where he
still remains. The batting averages OF
these great players during their careers
are As follows.

SHILLING BEST HORSE,

NEW YORK, September 1O.-The bess

LONDON WANTS MOORE.
National Club Eager to Pit Philadel

The National Sporting Club OF London
has offered purse for twenty-round
bout between Pal Moore. the New York
feather, and Jem Driscof1, holder
of the English featherweight champion
ship. Jimmy DE Forest, manager or
Moore. may accept the offer. but would
first like to sign Moore with WoIgast
for a six-round contest here.
DE Forest no longer styles Moore a
bantamweight, a class which he out

met Jem Driscoll In this city last
spring. and had all the better of the
famous British crack, the absurdity of
billing him az "A bantamweight became
so palpable that DE Forest gave 1T Np

PIRATES PAYROLL BIGGEST

A discussion OF the salary paid to
Catcher king, as disclosed In the ne
gOtiations for his reinstatement last
spring, brought out some very interesting
facts or near-facts concerning base ball
players salaries generally. writes Bill
Phelon. 1t was popularity believed the
Chicago backstop was drawing a large
stipend OF $500 for his work. and the
same erroneous impression prevails con-
corning the size Of the monthly checks
of other diamond stars.
Wagner's Salary. for example, is a
matter Of guesswork purely to all ex-
cept the Pittsburg club officials, the
Flying Dutchman and possibly one or
two others who have been told the fig
ures In strictest confidence. He is sup
posed to be. and probably is, the highest
salarfed man In base ball, but the wages
he is paid for clouting. base running and
spreading his giant frame over several
acres OF territory for the Pirates has un-
dOubtedly been overestimated by many
persons who profess to have inside in
formation on the subject. 1t as been put
as high as SIS 900 a year by some guess
ers. and very few persons think he is get
ting less than $4,000. One Of the faw.
however, is a prominent member of the
PittSburR club.

1T seems to be the policy of the
club he said, Ito lend substantial en-
couragement to brains. ability and will
ingness. and II is to that fact combined
with the very able leadership OF Fred
Clarke. that you can credit that ideal
club spirit that prevails among the Buc-
cancers. I'll venture to say that the
Pittsburg club paid out $4,000 in sal
aries last summer, and that no other
club paid as much. / have been told,
and I believe IL to be true, that the salary
list Of the Philadelphia Americans for
the season OF 1900 amounted to only
So. 600 making a difference OF $4,000 in
the money paid out to players by two
major league clubs. How Connie Mack
can pay such small salaries and manage
to keep his club up in the race is some
thing cannot understand"
The salaries Of the Cubs were also dis
cussed and 1t was agreed among the
players that the average and the total
OF the Pirates are much larger. Chance,
they understand, signed three-year con-
tract as manager OF the team at a figure
under 5000. and Killing and Brown are
the only members of the team receiving
anything like 5000. Reulbach Is said
to be pitching for s.. 800 NLajoie Is said
to have received $4,000 a year from Cleve-
land. of which 5000 was for managing
the club. Many other star players were

Wagner's Salary $4,000.

Il do not say that Honus isn't worth
that price. He is. He Is worth even
more. considering his playing ability and
his value to the club from a box Office
point of view. But base ball Is a
business proposition. and $4,000 is an
enormous amount to give to any one
player for a few months work. They
will have to show me before they can
convince me that Honus is drawing that
much. He may be getting it, but he Is
not getting more"
Several Of the players suggested that
the big Teuton ought to be getting a
percentage OF the gate receipts. Then
the salary subject took a wide range.
and the same player who Is quoted
above declared that in his opinion every
member of the Pirates who figured to any
extent in the winning Of the National
League pennant and the worlds cham
pionship received an advance In salary
for this year. He believed that Jack
Miller's contract calls for more than
twice as much as he received. and that
all the regular players were advanced.
