PRICE OF YOUNG BLOOD.
Ball Club May Expend $50, 900 An
nually for New PLAYERS.

There are five ways by which a big
league ball club can get a new player:
In a trade or deal; while he is a free
agent, such as a collegian or sandlotter;
by purchase. the player going to the high
est bidder: by repurchase, and by draft.
The number of players secured by these
different means may run all the way from
ten to thirty a season, and as club can
not carry over thirty-five players at any
time during the season, nor more than
twenty-five after May Is. 1t will be seen
that there has to be liberal pruning OF
the new material every spring.
If out of the new men annually rounded
up a club finds two who prove OF big
league caliber it considers itself fortunate.
Frequently only one is found, and some
times none. Some clubs depend almost
entirely on purchases for their new play
ers, while others trust more to the draft.
Naturally. the latter will not expend as
much money for players as the former.
However, each club spends good deal
Of money in its pursuit OF new talent.
and 1t is often the case that the net re-
suit of the outlay OF lucre Is on players
Of the first class. Although there is no
standard Of expenditure for new men. the
experience of one or two clubs may be
said to approximate the experience OF all:
Last year one big league club expended
approximately 81. 900 for purchased and
repurchased players. making no drafts.
Another spent ST. 800 for purchasing, re-
purchasing and drafting.
Say that these are average cases. about
what other clubs expend, and that one
new man makes good, then the price.
per year, of new man who makes good
would be from $4,000 to $4,000. II two
men make good, why. each costs just
half that much. and the club is doubly
fortunate, however shrewd may have
been the judgment Of it's scouts. Add
scouting and spring training expenses and
salaries to the outlay and the price Of
the new blood still remains big, and that
allowing for players returned.
There are exceptional cases. such as the
SD. 500 paid for O'Toole and the $1,000
paid for Marquard; but there are in
stances of alleged big sums paid for a
minor Lacquer about which there Is q
good deal of humbug. That is, players
figure in the transaction. players who go
to the minor league club along with
money for the recruit and who are fig
ured In the deal as so much money.

CURLEY BROWN WILL
APPEAL TO COURTS
Calls Jockey Club Illegal and
SeIf-Appointed Body in
Signed Statement.

NEW YORK, January 27.-H. D. Cur
ley) Brown has come out in open def
ance of the Jockey Club, and in a signed
statement issued yesterday threatens to
take the refusal of dates for his meeting
at\ Laurel into the courts. Brown con-
tends that the Jockey Clubs action
amounts to a boycott, and points out
that Gompers and Mitchell have been
sent to prison under the boycott laws.
Browns statement, in part, follows:
1.-The New York Jockey Club is self
appointed dictatorial body that attempts
to monopolize horse racing. and I intend
to have the courts define it's powers and
privileges. The Jockey Club at the pres
ent time eXacts from all horsemen and
associations under its assumed control
taxes of one or another variety and then
dictates what they shall or shall not do.
yet at the present time not one Of its
own race courses is in operation.
I'm my opinion the Jockey Club has as
sumed greater power than the state or
federal government. This I contend is
wrong, and I intend to have the courts
pass upon the question. I assert that the
New York Jockey Club is a self-appointed
illegal organization and attempts to re-
strain individual rights and has gone as
far as to coerce and boycott when it was
to its interest to do SO, all of which is
contrary to the laws Of the land. and par
ticularly to the antitrust and boycott
laws.
Maryland has racing laws and racing
commissions which can govern the sport
with quite as much credit as those which
now exist in Kentucky. Notwithstanding
these facts. the Jockey Club has taken
upon itself to ignore the Maryland laws
and commissions and to dictate to the
just what shall and shall not be done.
1t has assumed a supreme power to all
intents and purposes.
New York has state racing commits
sion appointed by the governor. Why
should a superfluous body of men get
together and usurp the powers Of ths
New York commission? The latter body
should govern the sport in New York
state as 1t Is done in Kentucky and what
is proposed will be done in Maryland.
ing associations have bowed too long
to the tyranny and dictates Of the jockey
club, and /, for one. do not intend to
stand the lash any longer. I have back
bone enough to fight for my rights. II
there is to be a Jockey Club let it be
an institution with thorough and uni
versal representation. where all concerned
in horse racing, breeding, training. own
ing and riding can be represented by
their own appointees. without being at
men which now exists.
81 intend to have my case taken into
court as soon as my attorneys can pre-
pare the papers. Under the existing con-
methods could do the Maryland State
Fair Association and other racing plants
irreparable injury and virtually destroy
their properties"

a tall bamboo pole, the aspect of The

pictures illustrating the sensational

accumulated by the fact that they are

WANING Of a Race.
