FRENzIED FINANCE IN
BASEBALL NOT OVER

New York. July 29.-The passing OF
the Federal League was supposed to
mark the end of frenzied finance in
baseball IL the big league magnates
were correctly quoted shortly after
that memorial occurrence. Recent
events, however. would lead to the
belief that although their intentions
may have leaned in that direction at
the time. they are still ready and
willing TO spend big sums, or what are
reported to be big sums for players
whom they believe may help them in
their struggle for pennants.
The deal which shifted Mathewson
to Cincinnati and Herzog to New York
involved some thousands Of dollars in
addition to the extra players who al
SO figured in the transaction. The
New York Club is understood to have
paid something like $4,000 In cash to
Cincinnati along with Mathewson.

ALLIES CONTINUE TO FORGE

ENGLAND: NO CASUALTIES
MIR. DEEM MAKES SUCCESS
TI0NS AS TO SALE OF BONDS

Editor Telegram: l noticed in
your issue of yesterday that the
bond trustees, the advisory board
and Commissioners seem to think
best to sell the $1,5OO,OOO bond is
sue for this county for cash. Now |
will suggest that they allow bids
made for 100000 cash for the
bonds and 100000 of the bonds ID
be paid for in six months without
matured interest and $4,000 to be
paid for in twelve months without
matured interest, and have the bid
der put up in cash per cent, which
would be $4,000, or good security
bond, that they will take this mil
lion dollar bond and pay for them as
above stated.
I believe that these bonds will sell
at least one per cent. better on these
terms. That will be $4,000 If they
do; and the interest they would save
on 100000 for six months would be
$12,50O, and the interest they would
save on 100000 bonds for twelve
months would be $4,000, and this
altogether would make $52,5O0
saved to the county. Now, l feel
sure that the banks in this county
cannot pay per cent. ON this ST.
100000 bonds for six and twelve
months. and / also feel sure that
some of the purchasers had rather
buy on terms above stated, and
would give at least l per cent. more
for the entire bond issue. To sell
them this way and save $52.500 to
thecounty would pay the entire in
terest on the $1,50O,0O0 bond issue
for fraction oven eight months.
| think this is worth considering
and they ought to at least receive
bids as above stated to see what the
bonds would bring as the contract
is that this work is to be completed
in 400 working days and this will
amply take care of the contracts.

Herzog received a new three-year
contract with the Giants at yearly

original figures. Mathewson signed q
three-year contract with Cincinnati to
manage that club at an annual salary

amount somewhere in the neighbor-

the actual outlay Of money less than
this amount.
Weeghman of Chicago and Ebbets
