Speakers BackerS In
Contention Very Few
Boston Fans, With Many Others Think the Red Sox
Stars Loyalty Was Bought With Money-To-
days Sportorial on Some Live Subjects.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

When peace terms were being dis
cussed, somebody said something
TO Barney Dreyfuss, the Pittsburgh
magnatc, about those players who
remained loyal TO organized base
ball" Little Barney came right
back with something about those
players whose loyalty was measured
in dollars and cents, who held up
their clubs to all the traffic could
stand"
Iris Speaker. from everything in
sight. was one OF Barney's loyal
players. Now he is bowling be-
cause Joe Lannin has cut his salary
down to what II was when he was
In his prime, when he was sought
eagerly by the Federal League mo-
Guls when he WAS willing to go 10
tho highest bidder.
Up in Boston the fans don't seem
to he enthusing much over Speakers
argument this spring. They seem
to think that 5000 Is considerable
money for playing baseball for six
months.
Indeed. Spoke" will have to con-
duct his argument with President
Lannin all by himself.
For two years Speaker collected
some ST., 900 from Lannin for playing
ball. In addition. he collected his
bit OF the 1915 worlds series, 50, $50. 70.
To get this he has invested mis-
muscles, his eyes, his diamond ex-
perience.
Joe Lannin has invested around
half a million. Yet 1t Is improbable
that he has cleaned up profits or as
much as Speaker has received IN
salary alone in the last two years.
But spoke" can't see that argu-
nent. He wants a discussion with
Lannin before getting into line.
