BALL PLAYERS EARN
 ALL THEY GET.
The Game Is Far from Being the
 CincE1 It Looks

The average fan thinks playing ball is just like drawing a pension, it's 50 easy says Umpire Billy Evans.
 From a shady spot in the grand stand it does seem as if the men on the field had a rather easy time of it. On the contrary, it far from being the cinch it looks.
 Most people think the diamond he roes are overpaid. It's all but impos- sible to make them understand why some nfble athlete should get $6,000 or S7,000 for putting himself on exhi- bltlon for couple of hours every aft ernOon during the summer months.
 While it is hard to beat the hours that the major and minor league play CTS are compelled to put in to com- complete a days work. Still every ball player is entitled to just as much as he can get for his services. There are many reasons for such an assertion, the most important being the great uncertainty connected with the play ing of the game.
 There is no getting away from the fact that the baseball business is just about the most precarious livelihood man can engage in. Today he may be a star, sound in mind and body, able to command a fancy salary for his services. Tomorrow he may find value whatever on his ability. The history of baseball contains any num- Der of eases to substantiate so strong a statement.
 Not over four years ago George Stone of the St Louis Browns was the sensation of the American league. He was a demon at the bat fast on his feet, consequently a speedy base-run- her and a very fair fielder. It would

TRIES TO SELL TEAM.
Confliction in Figures Asked for Con- trolling Interest in Waterbury Ath- letic Association.

Waterbury, Dec. 27.-There seems to be some cOnfiction in the figures asked for controlling interest in the Water bury Athletic corporation which con trols the local franchise in the Con- necticut State baseball league Nat C. Strong, who is President IT. R. Dur ants business agent in New York, re- gently wrote a letter stating that the stock would be sold to Waterbury peo- pie for $1,000 less than it could be bought by outside persons. When a proposed local syndicate however, sue- gested a purchase the price given was S4,500. with a rental of $1,000 a year for the grounds at Rockville. Now comes the information that Strong has of fered the club at the same price to man in Missouri.

Strong de- clareS that the income from advertis- ing and other privileges make Up the rent. but Mike Finn says he never discovered any such conditions while he was here.
 It will be remembered that when Durant and Mike Finn had their diff faculties at the close of the last sea son one of the points raised by the president of the local club was that Finn had exceeded the salary limit and Durant wanted the manager to pay the excess into the club treasury. Finn claimed that no manager in the league lived up to the salary limit rule and Stron@s statement. presuma bly, based on information from Durant, would seem to bear out that assertion.
 In the meanwhile the club is still unsold and H. R. Durant is still in control. Present indications are that he will continue to be the main squeeze when the season opens in 1911.

WILLIE KELLER
 KING OF HUNTERS.
Has Been Star of the First Maeni- ture in Big Leagues for Y Years.

After being a star of the first mag nitude in the big leagues for the past IT years, Willie Keeler has at last passed down to the minors, and unless there is a hitch in the negotiations he will wear a Toronto uniform next sea- son.
 Kee1er was one of the greatest bat terS the game ever has had. For the first 13 of his r years in the big leagues, or from 1894 to 1906, inclusive the little outfielder batted over the 300 mark. His best year was 1897, when he batted .432 at Baltimore. Last season he was with the New York Giants, acting as coach and adviser.
 In 1907, 1908 and 1909 Wee Willie fell off hitting .234, .263 and .264, re spectively.
 During his career in the big leagues Keeler played with four different clubs. He began with the famous old Balti- more Orioles in 1894, and hit .367 his first season. Those were the palmy days of the Baltimore team, when Me Graw, Jennings. Kelley. Brodie Qater with the Providence Grays), Robinson and Doyle were starring on the dia- mond along with KeeIer.
 Willie played with the Orioles until the season of 1899, when he went to Brooklyn, where he performed for four seasons. In two of these seasons, 1899 and 1909, Brooklyn won the National league pennant.
 In 1903. when the American league invaded New York. Keeler was induced to leave the National body and become a member of the younger organization. He played seven years with the Yan- l<ees, hitting above 300 in four of them. After the season of 1909 Keeler was compelled to give his place in the out field to men of younger blood and that winter procured his release. The fol- lowing spring Mugsy McCTaW. his old mate of Baltimore days. signed him to New York National league contract simply as a coach and helper to the younger players on the team.
 Willie Keeler is one batter who has been given credit by players and critics of being able to place his base hits. He has never been a long hitter. He takes a short hold of the bat. stands close to the plate and pokes the ball out rather than swings at it. At times it has seemed he deliberately pozed the ball through the spot vacated by short stop or second baseman when the hit and-run play was in order. He also has been rated as the king of all bunt- CTS.
 Just why KeeIer continues to play baseball is hard to understand. He's considered a very wea tthy man, owning much property in Brooklyn, besides having investments in other affairs His days of big salaries are past so it looks as If the old timer is sticking at it for the love of the game.

Jennings Says Talk of Trade for John

According to Garry Hermann, ewn- CT of the Cincinnati club, Jack Dunn, manager of the Baltimore team, was & bit previous in announcing that he had procured Pitcher Vic Willis for next season. "The Reds have not as yet waived on Willis,' said President Herr mann today, and it is no certainty that we will do so. Nor have we waived claim on Pitcher Corridor, who is supposed to have been sold by St. Louis to Toronto. don't know whether Manager Griffith wants Willis for

 Griffith had a chance to buy WHlfs from Pittsburg last winter, but thought the price asked, which 1sas $4 900 Was too high. The Old Fox however paiG this sum for Bill Burns, who is slated to go to Topeka, and who was an awfla frost here, and also paid the New York American league club s2,Go0 for Joe Doyle, whose work was even worse than Burns.

be we'll nigh impossible to state his real value in the baseball market. It is safe to say, however that the St Louis club would have turned down $10,O00 cash for his services,
 For two years Stone showed to ad vantage and was a big drawing card. In fact he showed so well one year that the following sea son he held out for S5,000 and 1t is understood he re- ceived that amount for his salary Stone was severely criticised from many quarters for the stand he took because of having a big year. They one considers what has happened since it seems Stone made a wise move in holding out until the St. Louis man. agement met his terms.
 When right. Stones speed was one of his best assets, for he combined good sliding with his work on the paths The ffelders knew he was fast and always hurried the throw on him. On a close play at first he always slid into the bag. thus getting the best of the decision on many close play
 Two years ago he suffered a severe injury to his ankle several small bones being broken He was out ot the game several months, and when he returned he was d far different player. The ankle bothered him con siderably; he was compelled to raVoc it. Instead of the daring Stone, he be- came the careful Stone. It greatly af- fected his speed, and he no longer took many chances on sliding. In almost the twinkling he dropped from star dom to the mediocre class. for the di- minishing of his speed also shrunk his batting avera ge.
 Three years ago Stone was star, one of the attractions of the Ameri- can league. He was worth every cent he couldn't get, and showed his good busiuess judgment when he forced the St. Louis club to pay him his price.

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 27.-An import ant session Ot the Kentucky State Rac- ing commission will be held at Lexing- ton today at which time the applica- tion of the Latonia and Lexington tracks for ar increase of their per centage on the paris mutuels and auc- ton pools will be considered.
 The two tracks ask that the percent age deducted by the track from the money handled by the association for the public will be increased from to 7 per cent. The Louisville Racing asso- citation thus far has not indicated that it will join in the request. Latonia and Lexington have been ordered to bring their books before the commis- sioners to show cause why the in crease should be granted.
 The commissioners probably will in sist upon the running of more long races at future Kentucky meets. It is expected that they will compel the in crease of stake features from $1,500 as Q minimum to S2,000 and for purses from $400 to not less than $500.
