Ball PLAYERS Salaries.

OF all the mistaken ideas which the
ordinary baseball enthusiasts have in
regard 10 the game in general there is
nothing 50 much exaggerated as the
supposed salaries Of players.
The announcement the other day that
King Cole earned fame as one Of the
most consistent pitchers in the Ma
tionaI League during the season just
closed at a salary Of $l,z00 came as a
mighty surprise to those who labOred
under the impression that all ball play
crS were paid Drincelv wages. While
there are a few men in the major
leagues whose yearly stipend reaches
the ave figure mark they are indeed
comparatively scarce, and the general
run CT players are not nearly as well
paid as is believed nv those who sup
port the game.
With most players baseball is their
only trade OF profession. While there
are many who have locked 20 the fu-
ture and have prepared themselves for
q life'S work. most Of the stars OF to-
day think little Of tomorrow. Having
no other calling, the salary while on
the diamond is considered fairly good.
and it is not until they have oUtlived
their usefulness on the field that the
vast majority Of players realize their
mistake.

Short Season on the Isle Is

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Nov 2-That

ter is evidenced by the fact that Bust
ness Manager Bancroft, Of the CinCin-
natl club, and Business Manager Shibe,
of the Philadelphia team, have reached
an agreement to take the team TO Cuba
and play there for about a month with
the Cuban team.
Bancroft has received several commu-
nications from both John Shibe and
from the Cubans who are planning for
these games The Cuban promoters say
that If Bancroft will bring the real
Athletics to Cuba they Will pay him a
big price for the men and will insure
them all their expenses as a bargain.

AIRY Hermann Declares That No Compromise Will Be Accepted From Horace Fg
BASEBALL SITUATION
GROWS MORE INTENSE
Owners Who Are Not in Syndicate Are Hoping That q
Probe Will Be Made to Reveal True Conditions
in National League

The day it was announced that Hor-
ace Fogel, the titular head of the Phila-
delphia National club, had interfered
with a deal that had practically been
cOnsummated with Cincinnati, it was
predicted in these columns that the
move would probably result in one of
the biggest rows in the history Of the
National League.
The opinion was then expressed that
FOgel's action was brought about
through the interference Of one Charley
Murphy, who occupies practically the
same position with the Chicago Cubs
as does Fogel with the Phillies. These
men are simply hgureheads with their
respective clubs and so pronounced has
been the charge that the two teams are
connected through system or syndi-
cate ball that other owners in the Ma
tional are hoping that a probe viii be
used In order to bring about the true
state Of affairs.
If it is proven that two clubs that
are supposed 10 be keen rivals are
the property of one and the same party
then there will have to be some hurry
up work by the powers that be 10 save
the National League from a most en-
barrassing situation.
Either Fogel or Hermann will have
70 give way Both are quoted as say
ing that they will stand unmoved on
their earlier declarations, so il looks
like the senior major organization is In
for some real trouble.
Baseball cannot thrive If money is
TO be the only consideration To have
two or more clubs under the same
control means that the game Will de
generate from real sport 70 simply a
hippOdrOme, and once the public be-
comes wise to such a situation then the
withdrawal of patronage from an or
ganization affected by such disease
would be simply a question Of short
time
1t is up 20 those who have the real
interests of major league baseball at
heart TO get to the very bottom OF
things. They owe II 10 themselves and
to baseball.

sue Garry Hermann IS as foolish as a

Sieger bored In from first to last.
