SALARIES IN ST. LOUIS.
Mound City Ball Players Are Well Paid
.# For Work.

Dick Collins, Il writer on the st.
Louis Republic, says that st. Louis
pays more for its ball players and re
ceives less in return for its money
than any city in the big league class.
Fielder A. Jones, manager of the st
Louis Feds, assured Collins that Willie
Doak's contract with the Cardinals for
1915 calls for S5,4OO
Mr.. Jones also vouched for the fact
that Bill James, the leading pitcher of
the National league. will draw $500
with the Boston Nationals next year.
Jones also states that Ty Cobb as
sured him that "Stuffy" McInnis was
working for less than $1,000 i'll Phila-
delphia. How and why are Boston
and Philadelphia managers successful
in persuading good players to work
for less money than the same grade of
talent would command in the west?
There is some excuse for McInnis
| shading in favor of Connie Mack. an
| inveterate pennant winner and worlds
series wizard but Stallings is just
breaking into the limelight in that re
spect,
What's the secret of his hold ON the
ball players? How does he get by
with it? Sky" BrittOn had an odd
experience along these lines when he
traded Larry Mclean for Doe Gran
dali Doc objected to the transfer,
Britton assured him that st. Louis
| would take over his contract with the
Giants. Even that ASSURANCE didn t
| satisfy Crandall.
"McGraw will get rid of you sooner
or later" said Britton. You're mark
ed for slaughter. Why hang around
till they guillotine YOU
Upon investigating Britton learned
that Crandall was earning $1,000 pei
annum with the Giants. The Cards
pay that kind of money to their second
string men. The prospect of figuring
in the worlds series is the magnet that
enables McGraw ana Mack to rounC
up their players SO easily and cheaply

HOW TIMES CHANGED.
First Worlds Series Ball Players COL
lected Just 500 Each.


Thirty years have seen the amount
earned by player in the worlds
championship baseball series rise from
less than 500 to several thousand dol
lars. Public interest has increased in
Il phenomenal manner
The enthusiasm of 1884, when the
old Metropolitans of New York and
the Providence team, winners of the
National league penuant. met. would
be considered paltry today. Only ST.
900 was the prize of this first series.
This was contributed by A. G. Spald-
ing and Chris Won Der Abe of st.
Louis and went entirely to the win
ming team. to be equally divided. Each
player got less than 500.
1t was not until 1905, when the
Giants played the Athletics for the
first worlds series under the control of
the national commission, that the play
ers made their first big killing" That
year each of the victorious Giants re
allied 81 .142 out of the series. The
