PRODUCTION to fast company with the
Mackmen.
Coombs had Colby College label on
him, but entirely unfamiliar with
the ways of the big leagues before he re-
ported to PhiIa delphia. Krause was in
California. a pitcher of promise, but with
much to learn.
Coakley was lad at Holy Cross before
Mack grabbed him and made him big
Lacquer for three seasons. Henley was
virtually unknown when he came up
from the Southern League. and Rube
Waddell had been chased from one club
to another, and had been banished to the
coast before Manager Mack brought him
back to be the best left-hander of his
day.
Morgan was only rated as an ordinary
man till he fell under the guidance of the
Athletic leader.
This is a notable record 1t shows that,
as in other positions, Mack has not had
to depend on the. production of other
managers for his pitching staff. He has
been able to make them.
There is hardly a chance in the world
that such a staff as Bender, Coombs,
Morgan, Plank. krause. Russell and Dy-
CERT. mixture of experience and young
blood in the right proportion. is going to
slump next year, but if it does there is no
cause to worry. AS in the past, Connie
will know where to find the men to take
their places

BY j. ED GRILLo.

If Charley Comiskey's plan for conf
pensating Ban Johnson goes through, the
head Of the American League will be one
of the highest salaried individuals in the
world.
To receive one-ninth of the profits of
the eight American League clubs would
mean to pay Johnson something like $780,
coo a year. Looks like an awful lot of
money to pay a man for being at the
head of a base ball league. and yet when
YOU stop to consider that managers of
tail-end clubs are reputed to receive $12,-
coo, Johnson is worth at least ten times
as much to the organization.
Only last year Johnson was elected for
a period of twenty years at salary said
to be S15,c39 Inasmuch as he must
be given credit for the existence of the
league and of having pushed through all
it's fights successfully, it does seem that
to give him but this amount is not fair,
in view of the salaries paid managers and
ball players.
incidentally it does no harm to mention
big figures in connection with Johnson
salary. 1t sort of has the effect of put
ting 1t over the National League, which
employs it's president for one year and
pays him comparatively little salary. BY
boosting Johnson's figures the American
League makes itself look good in the
