Mrs. Stokes was encouraging

do you stay inside and give real

BUYING PLAYERS
IS GREAT GAMBLE

CHICAGO, May 3.-The man who
buys fake mining stock or shares in a
wildcat get-rich-quick concern is a
careful investor compared to the own
err of baseball club, who puts his
cash In high-priced ball players
Four notable instances of recent
years can be quoted, and out of this
great quartet only one of the costly
stars has proved a profitable invest
ment
Connie Mack paid s12, 900 for Lefty
Russell. the notable southpaw of the
Baltimore Eastern league club of 1909
and 1910. Russell blew" early.
Hughey Duffy. the manager of the
Chicago Americans. purchased Short
stop Russell Blackburne, of the Provt-
dence Eastern league team, for $500,
very high price for a minor league
infielder.
| Barney Dreyfuss, with the strong
endorsement of his brilliant and ex-
pert manager. Fred Clarke, paid the
biggest price in the history of base
ball-s22. 500--for Marty O'Toole, the
heralded phenomenon Of the Ameri-
can association; with the st. Paul club.
Marty mas been SO constantly trOu-
bled with rheumatism that he has not
been able to show himself the pitcher
he liz.
John McGraw bought Marquard for
the Giants and gained the biggest
prize of many years. The $11, 900 he
| expended for the Indianapolis south
paw was dirt cheap, because to Mar
guard he owes a pennant and all the
immense returns from the victory and
from subsequent participation in q
most lucrative worlds series
1t will be seen that the rate OF re-
turn on the money placed in these
players de luxe Is not OF kind to
make other club owners eager to rush
in and part themselves from their
coin.
The case of Russell is especially pa
thehc. Manager Mack. leader Of the
worlds champions has always been
very partial to left-handers.
