Cobb Thinks Players
VIII Get $4,000 Yearly

Salaries of $15,0 900 in baseball Will
be- common inside of ten years." was
the somewhat startling statement made
by Ty Cobb.
Baseball will. continue to increase
in popularity continued Ty. Every
major league club will have a plant
costing from $500, 900 TO 81, 900, 900. Many
minor league parks will rival those In
major league cities. Another major
league will be formed within the next
five years. Competition will become
more keen, and star ~ballplayers will be
paid fabulous sums.
"BalIplayers will be smarter. Unless
conditions are satisfactory. they will
organize and force the magnates to
recognize their rights. Players will
also be faster. A more dashing style
of play will prevail. This, together
with the improvements in parks. will
attract monster crowds, and the club
owners Golfers will be filled with
gold.
Fifteen. years ago star players re-
ceived salaries equivalent to those of
the ordinary players of today. When
the attendance increased ana mag
mates, felt their investments were safe,
they loosened up.
Larger cities will mean larger
crowds and more money for ballplay-
ers and club owners. The players are
the drawing cards. They will be paid

There is supposed to be a vast amount
OF jealousy among members of the
theatrical profession, but If you want
to listen to some fine, guaranteed, gilt
edged knocking, take a stroll among
the fighters and lend an ear to the
opinions of each man regarding the
other performers who happen to belong
to the same class with himself. You
may hear a few kind words spoken by
a heavyweight regarding n of the
smaller pugilists, anything from the
lightweight class down. but when it
comes to the bigger fellows his re-
marks are usually lurid in the extreme.
He won't ever venture on too much
praise of a likely middleweight, for,
you see, there is danger that the said
middieweight may grow into a rival
some day.
It's the same with the other classes;
a lightweight nay express admiration
for a crack bantam, but he holds back
from wasting words OF commentator
on a feather, who may possibly hop up
a notch in the weight scale. The AN
tam possesses a longer admiration
range from any of the others, because
there is small chance of his getting to
be anything bigger than a feather.
One would suppose that when veter-
ans Of the square circle retire from
active service they might afford to drop
all grudges existing between them and
old-time foes, but such is not generally
the case. For many years Jim Corbett
and Joe Choynski did not speak as they
passed by, and it was not until they
came together as assistants in the JEFF
fries training camp, when that gent
was preparing for his %walloping at the
hands of johnson, that they buried the
Ratchet. 1t was also at Reno that a
reconciliation was effected between
John l.. Sullivan and Jeffries, the old
time champion having been snubbed
by the Californian after a fashion John
never will forget.
Nearly a year ago it CHANGED that
Sullivan and Fitzsimmons hit Chicago
at the same time, each having a vaude-
Vile show in tow. Jack Johnson was
also present in the Windy City, and
Joe Choynslsi was running a physical
culture school on the south side. Sulli-

BOWling

Edward Thompson, of the Newark
Bay quintet of the Athletic League,
came as close to making a perfect rec
ord in a bowling game as anyone can
come and then miss out. Ed tailed 29S
in the first game of the Newark Bay
teams match with the Passaic bowlers.
Thompson made eleven strikes in q.
row. The interest was intense as he
fingered the ball for the twelfth try.
Both teams were roofing for him. He
accurately, it seemed, but only
eight of the pins went down. The
other two wobbled, but stood, and his
chance was gone. In the second game
he tailed 1870 and followed with 2O2.
Newark Bay won two out Of three.
Tuxedo won three In a row from
Oxford in the County League. The
Knippers cleaned up with the South
sides. Schwartz grabbed the odd from
the Blum team
Kruger bowlers whitewashed the
Park team last night in a Newark
League match on the alleys of the los
ing team. The Kruegers have won
four more and lost one less than their
nearest rivals, the Rosevilles.
The Nationals pasted the West Ends
thrice in a Suburban League match.
The Newark Elks grabbed two out of
three from the Kruegers in a Suburban
League match. A roll-off was neces-
sary in the FIRST game. the Elks win
ming.

Professional Pugilists
Very Jealous Individuals

van had Jake Kilrain with him In the
role of partner. 1t occurred to a re-
sourceful press agent that a fine group
consisting of Johnson, ChoynsRi, Fitz-
simmons, Sullivan and Kilrain could be
posed before the camera. 1t would
have been quite an interesting picture,
and the various sporting editors ex-
pressed their willingness to print 1t.
But fierce and totally unexpected kicks
were registered by most of the parties
interested. Fitzsimmons smiled Bit
terly.
"Wot Me stand up alongside that
niger after the way e fouled me wen
Hi boxed 'im?" he queried. "Hi should
sye not. Count me hout hon tibet gyme,
old chap"
Sullivan uttered a hoarse growl when
the proposition was preached to him.

giving his show a BOOST said the
former champion of champions. mot

johnson was equally emphatic: Say,
man. yo' all mus think nah haid amt
screwed on straight" snorted the dusky
star. Jack Johnson couldn't get a
pleasant look from one OF dem white
trash fossils when he was in hawd
luck. An now they wants me to hop
along an do a brudder act wifi dem.
Ah'm a real champion an All can't
afford to mix up wifi hasbeens.''
And so the great press scheme fell to
the ground. Choynski was the only
one of the bunch, with the possible ex-
ception of Kilrain. who appeared to be
u~nprovided with a crouch against some
member of the proposed combination.
In passing 1t might be observed that
Jim Corbett's hatred of johnson has
lost none of Its ~virulence, and it is
generally believed that the one canker-
ing sorrow in James's otherwise hap
by life is fostered by his inability to
dig up someone who can whip the col
ored wonder.
