BALL Players WAGES
APPEAR RIDICULOUS
WHEN COMPARED WITH THOSI
RECEIVED BY STARS QUAR-
TER OF CENTURY AGO.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Bascball man
ayers and players OF quarter cen
tury ago received salaries that ap-
pear ridiculous, compared with labu-
lous sums which those Of today are
said to receive, according to figures
gathered by a local sporting writer.
Cap Adrain G. Anson was said to
have received the "prinCely" sum Of
s2.7O0 for managing the Chicago
white Stockings" in 1888, the year
after he had finished the season with
"A batting average of .42l OF this
amount 500 represented his services
as Getting captain and manager Of the
team. r. r. Smith Of Chicago says
he possesses the contract
smith has also the contracts made
by n. Fred Pfeffer and Edward ~
williamson. when they played in the
brotherhood league in 1889. These
two players were talked Of at that
time as the greatest in the game. The
Chicago club paid Williamson $1,000
while pfcffcr, one of the greatest Of
al second hascmen, received only So
600 and the score card privileges
A larger salary than any of these
ald-timc stars was paid To Charles
ComisNcy present owner Of the Ch'-
caeo white SoX when he jumped to
the Brotherhood league. His contract
also hcld by Smith. called for $1,000
in 1880. Cumisl,cy was then regard
ed as the dean Of fielding first So
men, although he was not regarded
as good at bat as Anson.
