HNERY time Ty Cobb made a
T. base hit during the season Of
1912 he earned 1886, accord
ing to figures of Herman Wecke. a
baseball dopester, and according to
the same busy little statistician in
1910 he was paid at the rate OF
$45.92 per safety. while in 1911 he
made $500 per swat, fielding and

in figuring his compensation.
Does it pay to play baseball? "
rus Raymond has been drawing a
salary of $4,000 for his services each
of the last three years. Now Tvs
contract is run out and he wants
another calling for $4,000 more.
In the last three years. according
TO Wecke, Ty Cobb has made 67t
hits, While his salary for the same
length of time was S27 900. If Cobb
were getting paid for making hits
alone. he would have received more
than $40 for each safety, which is
some payment for swinging a bat
and hitting the ball where they
amt"
If Cobb were getting paid for this
alone, his most profitable year SO
far would have been 1910. In that
season he made 1876 hits at a salary
of $4,000 which would have given
nm $45.92 for each bingle.
That's a whole lot more than the
average nottingham receives for a
weeks hard labor so it can be seen
at glance that it pays to be the
best ball player living.
In 1911 Ty made 24S bingles. for
which he received an average of
$36.29 each. This was his poorest
year when the amount of stipend
is taken into consideration but at
that it is very nice little sum.
For each hit in the 1912 campaign
he gathered in 1885. All in all.
he received for each bingle in the
last thee seasons the wee sum of
$40.25 each.

Bert Shotten, Browns Young
0utfielder, Is Classed Among
Fastest Stars in Big League
(This is the fifteenth of a series
Of articles on youngsters who made
good in the big leagues in recent
years.)
By Sam Crane.

THAT tiny speck on the map
of Lorraine county, Ohio,
known to postal clerks and
a few others of that section of the
Buckeye State in which it is sit
uated as Elyria, has bunch that
some day in the not too distant
future it will be hailed as widely
and prominently as Royston, Ca.
or Trappe, Md.
For what Ty Cobb and J. Frank
lin Baker have done to bring these
formerly obscure places to the no
tice of the public Bert Shotten
hopes to do for the city of his
birth. and the citizens of Elyria
swear by him.
Bert Shotten is not exactly a
newcomer in the ranks of the ma
jor leagues. He has worn a ST.
Louis uniform for several years.
But it is only recently that he
has impressed the fans with his
ability and been hailed as a young
ster with a bright future on the
diamond. Shotten's greatest asset
is speed. AS yet he has not learned
how to use it to the best advan-
tage in circling the base paths
When he does It is predicted he win
be credited with a base-stealing
record that will compare favorably
with those of Cobb, Milan and 9TH

StovaII a Good Tutor.

George Stovall has not been with
the Browns long enough to perfect
p Shotten in the art of base running.
When the Browns go into training
next spring the ST. Louis boss will
give him a special course in this
department of the game, and he is
free in stating that he confidently
expects to make q great star out
of him. Even in the short time
Stovali has been with the Browns
he has improved Shotten wonder
fully by his instruction.
In beating out bunts and little
hits there is not player in the
league who compares with the ST.
Louis inflelder, excepting Cobb. ac-
cording to such an authority as
Hal Chase. 1t is not often that
the Yankee frst baseman is caught
mapping. Shotten. however put
one over on him last season. Hal
was caught unawares because he
never dreamed the player possessed
such great speed. 1t was during a
game in St. Louis.
Shotten raped a grounder be.
tween first and second and Hal
started for the ball. 1t appeared to
be an easy unassisted play for
Chase. He had made similar ones
hundreds Of times, and figured it an
out, as did the spectators.
But shotten darted down the
line, and, although Chase sprinted
and flung himself headlong toward
the bag, the fleet outfiolder crossed
the sack in safety .,r.
That night after the game.
Chase, in discussing the play with
his teammates, said some highly
complimentary things about the
youngster. and no time was lost by
Hal thereafter in handling his hits.
Speed Helps Percentage.
Shotten is fairly good hitter.
His speed, too, enables him to get
many hits that less speedy players.
would lose. But. aside from this
he is improving rapidly in batting.
8 well as in base running.
Shotten was just picked up bv
the Browns in 1909. He played in
only seventeen games that season
and did not get chance TO show
anything. The following year he
was sent back to the minors for adj
ditional seasoning. He spent part
