IL il is true that a chain is no

some logician or mechanician figured

tion that the modern major league
baseball team is no stronger than its
corps Of scouts. In these days OF hit

only way TO get players of promise is
to beat the bushes for them and be
sure that the beating is done by ex-
perienced "bushwhackers" who know
their business.

EARNINGS OF ARTISTS
Musicians OF the better class may
earn good salaries because OF their
achievements with violin or other mu-
sical instruments. Many are glad to
earn as much in a year as Caruso gets
for one performa nee. Others few
go that better
Composers of music-ordinary-ea earn

tion.

sums as $4,000 and $500 for a single
engagement Even the four rounder

OLYMPIC CLUB DOWNFALL
The Olympic Athletic club of New
Orleans was once the greatest organ
ization OF the kind in the world 1t
was rich and influential. The big
championship battles were ell brought
of In It's arena
The Olympic clubs first really big
purse was for Fitzsimmons and Demp-
sey-$12, ,e0o and despite the popularity
of the principals the club made little
money out OF the event
The Olympics gare a purse of $4,000
for sullivan and Corbeft- That battle
drew moneyed followers OF the game
from all parts Of the world. No such
gathering had previously been seen In
the famous arena In New Orleans.
Purses Of large dimensions were also
given for McAuliffe and Myer and
Skelly and Dixon.
And Secretary Ross OF the Olympics
was authority for the statement that
ths Olympics did not make q dollar
out Of the three nights tournament.
CoRBETT AND MITCHELL
Another great financial fasco was

much OF a fight. either. Mitchell never
had chance, and the affair was much
on the rough and tumble order
Joe Choynski and Jim Corbett fought
one OF the greatest battles in ring
history-not for $1,000 a round but for
$1,000 a side And that battle was
worth ten times as much to the fan
as the one between Curbett and
Mitchell.
OLDTIME STAKES
In the days when men fought with
out gloves such purses as are paid the
padded mitt artists of today would
have been regarded as chimerical.
Tass Parker beat Con Parker for
$500 a side and the championship
belt
Tom Savers beat Perry. the Upton

Jem Mace beat Tom King for the
belt and $1,000.

Out OF this sum must be paid others

the biggest possible figure.
