HEAVY COST TO
BUILD UP CLUB
Owner May Spend Big Sums Each
Year for Players

There are five ways by which a biz
league ball club can get a new player
In trade or deal; while he is a free
agent, such as a collegian or sandlot-
ter; by purchase, the player going to
the highest bidder; by repurchase and
by draft.
The number of players secured 10y
these different means may run all the
way from ten To thirty a season, anG
rs club can not carry over thirty
five players at any time during the
season, nor more than twenty five aft
CT May L. it viii be seen that there
has to he liberal pruning of the new
material every spring.
II out of the new men annually
rounded up a club finds two who prove
of big league caliber it considers itself
fortunate. Frequently only one is
found, and sometimes none. Some
clubs depend almost entirely on pur-
chasos for their new players while
others trust more to the draft. Nat
urally, the latter will not cXpend as
much money for players as the former
However. each club spenus a good
deal of money in its pursuit of new
talent and 1t is often the case that the
net result of the outlay of lucrc is on
players of the first class. Although
there is no standard of expenditure
for new men. the experience of one
or two clubs may be said to approx
innate the experience Of all Last year
l.,
imately $4,000 for purchased and
rcpurchased players, making no drafts
Another spent $l75OO for purchasing,
rcpurchasing and drafting.
Say that these average cases, about
what other clubs eNpcnd, and that
one new man makes good then the
price, per year, of a new man who
makes good would be from $4,000 to
10000 If two men made good, why,
each costs just half that much and
the club is doubly fortunate, howcvc"
shrewd may have been the judgment
of it's scouts, Add scouting and spring
training expenses and salaries to the
outlay, aud the price of the new blood
still remains big, and that allowing for
players returned.
There are exceptional eases. such as
the $4,000 paid for O"Poolc ana the
81 900 paid for Marquard; but there
are instances of alleged big sums paid
Tor IA minor Lacquer about which there
is good deal OF humbug. That is,
players figure in the transaction.
players who go to the minor league
club along with money for the recruit
and who are figured in the deal as so
much money
