THROW THE BALL STRAIGHT
Manager hickey of st. Louis Browns
Advises Young Fielders to Avoid
Throwing Curve Ball.

Branch Hickey. manager for the
Browns. thinks a young player is
foolish trying to throw curves and
other things when he is an infielder.
outfielder or a catcher. 1t is all right
for a hurler, but not for the others
on the club. They should school them
selves into throwing a straight ball
and nothing else.
That's how ! lost my arm" says
the leader of the Browns Il once
thought / owned a splitter better than
Ed Walsh ever had. | threw it one
day, and it jumped all over the place.
Well, the next day | tried again, but
could do nothing. My arm was gone.
That is why | think it is foolish
for a player other than a pitcher to
try to curve a ball. | learned my les
son when It was too late, and in order
not to suffer the same fate l would
advise others not to try it."

amounts ranging between $4,000 and
$40, 600. There are less than a dozen
who make more than that. The
notable ones are Eddie Collins. Ty
Cobb, iris Speaker, Walter johnson
and a few managers. McGraw is re-
puted to make $25. 1000 in salary.
The players who take part in a
worlds series are required to put
that amount in with their salaries,
which makes it certain that every
man on a championship club has to
pay income tax.
In making out their statements. the
ball players, or the club secretaries
who do the work for them, have raised
an interesting question that may re-
quire a decision by the government
before 1t can be settled with definite
precision.
Instead of a reserve clause. the con-
tracts now have one which declares
that one-fourth of the salary stipulated
shall be considered payment for an
option on their services for the fol-
lowing year. For instance. a player
, 1915-05-06

Though the government is having a
tough time getting at the facts. pro-
fessional ball players will pay into he
internal ven department some
thing like $4,000 in income tax.
But for the fact that so per cent OF
the players in the American, National
and Federal leagues are married and
are thereby permitted to claim an ex-
emption Of 81. 900 in salary, the sum
exacted by the government would be
considerably greater.
From the best Information the ex-
perts have been able to obtain there
are in the three leagues mentioned
about 300 players who receive more
thai $4,000 a year. This really means
six months, as that is the length of
the contracts. What they earn dur
ing the other six months also has to
be accounted for. but in most cases It
is nothing.
OF these 300 there are about 200
who earn more than $4,000. There
r close to 100 who draw more than
$4,000 and 80 whose contracts call for
