FIRST PRO- Club
PAID SMALL Salaries
Cincinnati Reds, Famous Forty-four
Years Ago, Paid but $500 as
Entire Teams Pay Roll.
SOME BIG DIFFERENCE NOW

Forty-four years ago the first pro
fessional ball club in the world was or.
ganized. It was the famous Cincinnati
Reds, the pioneer paid baseball club, In
= whose existence. the great nationa
game. as it exists today. had its in.
ception.
In 1863 this club played through the
entire season, from March Is till No
vember Is. and never lost a game. II
finished the season with a standing OF
1000. Its pay roll for the year, includ-
ing every cent that went TO the play
ers in salaries. was $500.
There were ten players on the club,
Of which one was a pitcher, Asa Brain
ard, and another was a substitute. The
average salary per player was less than
a thousand dollars, or. to be exact
$50
The highest paid man was George
Wright, who got a,4Oo: the shortstop,
Capt. Harry Wright, pulled down ,2OC
for his share. The pitcher, who went
through the season with a clean rec
ord, got S1,1o0. Six men drew $500.
And last year Hans Wagner pulled
down a cool $4,000 for galloping around
somewhere between second and third,
Furnishing the pill, and running bases.
Some difference, what
Tyrus Cobb got 5000 last season, and
was nOlQlnB OUT Sl0,Uuu SEASON.
He could have signed any day for s1O,-

Now you could take Wagner's salary
and Ty Cobb's salary. lump them. and
have two world beaters-back in 1853
Last year the sum paid out as sal
aries to the players OF the National
League ran pretty close to S5O0Oe0.
Harking back the pay roll of that lit
tie old club in the 6Ds that went clear
throughout without sustaining a defeat
looks picayunish, doesn't it?
through a season these days would
cost? Wonder how high a pitcher who
never lost would come with Walter
johnson getting $1,000?
And those fellows played ball in a
different way than 1t is played today.
They didn't have gloves, masks, shoes,
protectors. and the thousand and one
things that the modern diamond star
has TO guard himself with. The games
were riots. When there was no blood
shed the fans demanded their money
back.
It's a great game. The immense
business called major league baseball,
for which fans spend annually the sum
of 100000. had very humble begin
nings.

fessional ball club. taken Ted-hot from

(National News Association)


INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. Carl G.
Fisher, the wealthy Indianapolis pro-
moter, defendant in the s5oo,0oO
breach of promise action brought by
Miss Gertrude Hassler, an Indianapo-
animation today that while he never
promised to marry the plaintiff he al
ways thought a great deal of her.
Asked II he kissed Miss Hassler on
the occasion of their first New York
meeting at the Empire hotel Fisher
replied that he expected he did
Fisher denied that while he was in
New York he received a note from
Miss Hassler saying that she could
not live in New York because the
temptation was too great, and telling
him not to go to the hotel to which
she was moving unless he expected to
marry her.
Fisher resented many questions put
to him and the court was appealed to
frequently for ruling. In general Fish
er entered denials to Miss Hassler's 8
story or said he could not remember
details which Miss Hassler's attorneys
sought to bring out

Whether Miss Gertrude Hassler,
the beautiful, talented church singer,
is to be successful in her suit will be
up to the jury of farmers before
nightfall, If the proceedings mapped
out for today do not meet with some
unforeseen hitch.
The cross examination of Mr.. Fish
er, which began late yesterday, was
concluded this forenoon and after
some rebuttal testimony for the plain.
tiffs side of the case, arguments for
half hours.
If unexpected delays arise the argu-
ments will be put OFF until Monday.
While Fisher has denied much of
Miss Hassler's testimony, he also has
admitted many parts of it.
Fisher who described plaintiff as a
Every pleasing girl and very pleasant
companion" admitted that he began
giving her money within month after
the date of their acquaintance.
He denied being out riding with
Miss Hassler a few nights before his
marriage to the present Mrs. Fisher
and declared that it was the latter girl
who accompanied him on that occa
sion.
Fisher denied telling Miss Hassler
when she demanded settlement that
she could go ahead and sue as he had
enough money to buy the Judge and

wind-up of the case intensified popular

In spite of the extra expenses of
1912, when approximately $4,000
more than usual was spent, the gener-

condition though the fund was reduc-
ed in 1912 four cents on every 500
because of the free turnpike repair
fund and the bridge sinking fund.
The balance on hand in the general
fund Jan. 1, 1910, was S6S.S90.21; Jan.
1. 1911, there was $59,536.O9; Jan. 1,
1912, there was s70,29343 and Jan. 1,
1913, there was s45, 1888, which is a
reduction of s24 1886 Oe during the past
year as a result of the lower rate and
larger amount expended. This would
indicate that the former rate must
again be restored or the expenditures
of this fund reduced about to the
amount in years prior to 1912.

INCREASING DEMAND
FOR WORKING GIRLS
Managers of a Number of Lo-
cal Factories Seeking
Girl Laborers
ARE IN A QUANDRY
Some Girls Opposed to Eight
Hour Law'-Wage
Scale May Help.
ARE IN A QUANDRY

In Richmond, more so than in any
other part of the state, there is a
great scarcity Of working girls and
the demand for them is constantly in
creasing. 1t is estimated that there
are at least 500 or 900 girls employed
in factories and stores in this city.
So great has been the demand for
working girls that representative
from various parts of the state are
introducing legislation at the state
legislature, now in session, for their
protection.
One of the most effective laws
which probably will affect conditions
in this city is the Eight Hour Law
which provides that eight hours shall
be the maximum length of time per
day for work by the working girls. /
Affect Wages.
This law, it is said, will materially
affect the wage scale of working girls
in Richmond Most of the work being
done here by girls is done on the
piece work plan, a certain amount
being paid for every article of work
completed.
If the girls are not allowed to work
more than eight hours. according to
one employer in this city, a hardship
will be worked on them. In some OF
the places where girls are employed,
hours, while in others it is ten
ten hours. On Saturday most Of the
girls stop work at noon.
Many of the working girls in this
city are opposed to the eight hour
working law as they believe it better
to work nine hours each day and have
Saturday afternoon to rest. Accord
ing to one employer, i: will be impos.
sible to allow Saturday afternoon to
the employees if the eight hour law is
passed, because Of the large amount
of work which cannot be accomplish
ed owing to the lack of help.
The minimum wage scale for girls
is another proposed law which will
affect the working girls in this city
The bill provides that a commission
be appointed by the governor to in
spect all factories where girls are en-
ployed and regulate what wage they
shall receive. The salaries shall be
paid in proportion to the kind and
amount of work done, according to
the bill Providing the commission
which regulates the wage of girls
places the minimum wage to high, the
employers have the right to appeal
to the courts.
Stiff Competition.
A scarcity of working girls in Rich
mond is alarming local manufacturers
Competition alone, some say, will
make wages higher than in many
other cities in the state One manu-
facturer said today that because OF
lack of help a large per cent of bus
mess had been lost by his firm.
A new glove factory recently or
ganized, will seek 100 girls.
