CPORTINGC
y ~ NEWO

Two very lucky persons In the base
ball world today are Larry Mclean OF
the st. Louis Cardinals and Steve
! Yerkes Of the Boston Red Sox. AT
any rate they seem booked for a nice
little piece OF good fortune and the
chances are that It'll go through Last
season Terkes playing with the Red
Sox was practically a greenhorn IN big
! league circles and yet he came In for a
worlds series the first season. It's
quite privilege to be a member Of
the worlds champion ball team on
| such short notice. This year though,
| the Boston bunch has not done any
thing so very scintillating nor yet
has Yerkes. He has been tried out
in various places, substituting and
warming the bench and has failed to
shine with a very particular brilliancy.
And now comes the news that waivers
have been asked on him by Boston and
Connie Mack has claimed him. Pretty
soft Ell? With the pennant practical
~ put on ice by the Athletics. Yerkes
will probably enjoy his second season
on championship team; and perhaps
the worlds champions. Consider Lar
ry Mclean. For quite a few years
Mclean was the leading catcher for
the Cincinnati Reds and Of course
while at Cincy never got q smell Of
of the pennant. However, Larry went
to St Louis and then along came
Muggsy McGraw and offered the Car
6inals Otis Crandall for the big catch
err The deal was made and now Nc
Lean is a member of the team that is
booked to cop the rag in the National
League. In line for a nice piece Of
change, he is, when the end Of the
season draws nigh. All things con-
sidered both Yerkes and Mclean may
regard themselves as mighty lucky.
If the salaries of ball players should
increase in the next few years as they
have in the past we can look to see
the time when ball playing win be our
most lucrative field of endeavor and
trust presidents will take to batting
out flies and chasing grounders with
the school boys on the corner lots.
The trust business will be a poor pay
ing proposition in comparison. Twen-
ty-fve years ago Cap Arson, one Of
the very highest priced men of the
day was getting every bit Of s2,700
for managing the Chicago White
Stockings, it was then not "Sox" If
you please. In SO Williamson and
Pfeffer were the big stars of the old
brotherhood league and their salaries
were $4,000 and $4,000 respectively.
The real big money of the time, how
ever, was paid Charley Comiskey, the
present owner of the White Sox, who
was getting $1,000 in 1880. In the
present day Ty Cobb and Hans Wag-
ner can afford to laugh at such PRIZES.
