LEvERENz'S VICTORY
COSTLY TO HEDGES
Feds Forced Browns to Raise
His Salary and He Won Only
One Game in Season.

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 25.-The Feds not
only expended a fortune In breaking
into the baseball field last season. but
were also responsible for the expendi-
ture OF a great sumo Of money by or
ganized baseball. Incidentally, the Feds
caused Col. Bob Hedges. Of the Browns.
to deal out the greatest sum on record
for a single victory.
II WAS because Of the activities of the
third league that Hedges was forced to
pay $4,000 for one game won by the
Browns. That was the only game OF the
season credited in the win columns for
Walter Leverenz. the left-hander, de-
spite the fact that he had a dozen or
more opportunities to help in the uplift
OF the Rickeyites.
II Is true that the Feds were in no
way responsible for Leverenz's single
victory of many defeats. but had 1t not
been for the independents. the lone
game won by Leverenz probably would
have cost Hedges something like N.2oO
less.
Leverenz's failure was one of the dis
appointments Of the Browns. He fin
ished In 1918 like a house afre. and
great things were expected OF him last
season. He was the only Brownie who
made the around-the-world tour with
the White Sox and Giants. and while on
this jaunt something happened to his
arm.
He started several times. but 1t wasn't
| until September 16. In the second game
| Of a double-header with the Chicago
White Sox that Leverenz was finally
| credited with winning game. Ten sue
cessive defeats had preceded the VIC
| tory. Incidentally. this one victory-ol
any other one gamc-was responsible foi
the Browns finishing In fifth place. HaC

planned the Old Fox today, "but
withdrew the draft after being tip
ped off that Hopper wouldn't do.
Since then I have been informed by
baseball men whose judgment counts
for something with me that Hopper
was the best pitcher in the associa-
tion last summer, better than Gailia.
Realizing that l had pulled a
bone I got busy again with the st,
Louis club, offering them Tommy
Long for Hopper. Today l got word
that the Cardinals would go through,
with the deal, and SO l shall have
Hopper at Charlottesville"
Hopper pitched for New Haven in
1918, and was drafted that fall by
the Cardinals. In their suit against
