nature So McGraw was Off Of
Kauff. However, when Kauff was
sold TO the Brooklyn Feds by the In
dianapolis Feds around the latter part
of March this year, McGraw saw a
chance TO act. He figured that Kauff s
old contract wouldn't hold in view OF
the fact that he had been sold to an
other club. and he decided 10 try to

PART BONUS AND
PART SALARY IS
MONEY SOLUTION
Sport Writer Offers System for
Balancing Pay of Ball Play
erS-Men Would Get Paid
for What They Did.
by Frank G. Menke.

NEW YORK. May 27=A part
bonus and part straight salary system
in the baseball players contracts
would do much to correct some of the
present salary injustices of baseball.
At the present time many magnates
are REVEALING the fact that some of
their stars, who are drawing fat sal
aries, under long term. ironclad con-
tracts, are not giving them their best
efforts while some of the young play
ers who are outbatting and outfielding
the veterans are bowling because they
are tied to contracts that call for only
one-half or one-third of the salary
that IS paid TO the high priced shirk-
ers.
This condition could be remedied
for all time by paying to each player
fixed salary, of a small amount each
year, and putting a schedule Of bonus
es in his contracts, which would en-
able him TO get paid for what he real
~ is worth.
our suggestion. concretely, is this:
Fix standard salary for each play
er somewhere around $500 or $4,000
a year, which sum the player is TO get
no matter how his work shows up.
Then arrange a bonus sustem that is
applicable TO each branch of baseball
erS.
Bonuses for Hurlers.
In the case of pitchers, a bonus Of
$1,000 could go to all pitchers finish
ing the season with an average of
500 or better; $500 bonus money TO
the men winning 90 per cent of their
games; $4,000 bonus TO the men win
ming twO-thirds of their games; $1,000
bonus to M winning three-fOurths
of their games; $4,000 bonus to men
finishing with a mark above $50.
In this way a pitcher would get paid
for what he did during the present
season-nOt on his record of several
seasons before. And in this way a kid
pitcher would have as fair a chance to
get big money as the veteran. All the
kid would need TO do would be to win
games.
Pitchers could be Given a small
bonus for batting and fielding above
a certain abount but should not be
allowed to figure in eneral bonus
of other players for fielding and bat
ting.
Outfielders. infielders and catchers
could be guaranteed $4,000 a year and
would earn their bonuses by their
fielding and batting stunts Here is a
schedule of bonuses that would sug-
