In a fanfest, the subject OF the
amount that could be made out o.;
baseball and how much should be
saved was argued,
Bobby Wallace was cited as the
example.
Considering his work in the Ameri-
can League only, since he Joined the
junior major league organization, IL
was figured out that Colonel Hedges
had paid Wallace during the past
thirteen years approximately $6S001
This the colonel refused to affirm or
deny.
Wallace was considered to never
have drawn less than $4,000 a year,
ana II was generally agreed that as
manager Of the Browns he did not
receive under Sc, 500.

tract for $500. that would aggrc .

was further agreed that Wallace
averaged $4,000 at the top notch.
which would add $4,000 more 10 the
money that talented veteran has
taken out OF the game.
For part Of 1911 he was manager
and was receiving more than $4,000.
In 1912 his contract was decorated
with figures which totaled not less
than $1,000 and probably more.
For the current season. IL IS under

which IS more tlan Wallace il worth
