a year. and that most of The

in service make from 5000

Most of them will have to look for
jobs in the minors and many will not
be able to find jobs in any league.
Some of the former stars of the big
leagues are among the players who
have just been released. Perhaps the
most illustrious is Chief Bender. for
years one of the mainstays of Connie
Mack's pitching staff. Bender got his
walking papers during the last play

in New York against the Federal

There is nothing cheap about the
three Fed players the Giants purchased
the other day. 1t is reported that Nc
Graw paid $4,000 for the release of
Benny Kauff, $4,000 for Bill Rariden,
the catcher, and $4,000 for Fred An
derson, the Buffalo spit-ball artist. 1t
is said that President Hampstead of the
Giants is willing to spend $4,000 more
for the kind of material which will
convert the Giants into pennant con-
tenders.
The Giants have hung up a record for
purchasing high-priced players in

set a new mark, but Hampstead has

COST GIANTS $4,000.
That Amount Paid for Kautf, Rarl-

i, NEW YORK, January 2o.-lt was
learned recently that the Giants paid
$4,000 for the release of Kauff. $4,000
for Rariden and $4,000 for Fred Ander-
soR President Hampstead is prepared
to spend $4,000 more, if necessary, to
provide John McGraw with other play
ers who appear to be needed for the
task of building up the Giants
H. F.. Sinclair, who is selling the Fed
eral League stars to the highest bid
ders, already has realized $4,000 from
the sale of Kauff, Rariden, Anderson
and Magee, and all of this money will
go into his pocket.
The Giants, meanwhile, have hung up
record for purchasing high-priced
players in a single deal. When Comis-
key put up $4,000 for Eddie Collins
last winter he set a new mark, but
President Hampstead has excelled it
with his sixty thousand-dollar plunge.
