giles in the business side OF the sport
made it necessary, including the in
creasing popularity of basketball, in
dependent opposition and the banding
together Of the players themselves
II has been estimSted that the aver
age salary paid by major league clubs
has been doubled in the last ten years.
In the case Of a majority Of the play
year but when the contracts Of stars
like Eddie Collins Iris Speaker. Walter
Johnson, Jake Daubert and Sam CraW
ford are figured in, the general ad-
vance reaches a surprising amount.
The salary limit Of the National league
was $1,000 fifteen years ago. To-Day
the salary OF the mediocre player eX-
ceeds these figures and there is no
limit for the stars.
Baseball authorities VINO have stud
led the situation carefully point out
that under the conditions that pre-
vailed in the early nineties a star infield
and outfield containing such players
as Deleh1nty- LajOle, Cross, Flick, and
could be secured for an annual
outlay Of approximately $4,000. Today
a similar combination would require
yearly expenditure of five to seven
times that amount Yet the gate re-
celpts prove that attendance has not
increased in. anything like the same
ratio Eddie Collins acquisition and con
tract IS said to represent an outlay of
more than 100000 during the next five
years A Chicago statistician has fig
ured that he viii have to drew well
