Trailers Give Chicago Strenuous Cam
paign for Winning Run in
Extra-Inning Contest.

trailers de luxe got into a big league

which sent the man on third home and
made the final count to 3.
If it hadn't been for an error by old

the count, Joe Bush went to the slab

STARTLING BIDS
IN BIG LEAGUES
Frenzied Finance Does Not Pass With
Federals-FabuIous Sums Offered
in Organized Baseball.

New York, July 1.-The passing of
the Federal league was supposed to
mark the end of frenZied finance in
baseball if the big league magnates
We're correctly quoted shortly after
that occurrence. Recent events, how
ever, would lead to the belief that al
though their intentions may have lean
ed 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 be-
lieve 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 also
figured in the transaction. The New
York club is understood TO have paid
something like 500 in cash to Gin
cinnau along with Mathewson, RousA
and McKechnie for the privilege OF
signing Herzog and Killifer.
Herzog received a new three-year
contract with the Giants at a yearly
salary of $4,000 per season and Kille-
fer's contract was continued at the
original figures. Mathewson signed a
three-year contract with Cincinnati to
manage that club at an annual salary
said TO be in excess of HerZog's stipend
in the same position, bringing the
amount somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 In all more than
$4,000 was involved in the deal al
though the shifting of contracts makes
the actual outlay OF money less than
this amount.
Weeghman of Chicago and Ebbets Of
Brooklyn offered about $4,000 each
for the privilege Of doing business
with HerZog without success. The for
mer then proceeded TO purchase in 9TH
er quarters and in short time accum-
mulated Workman, Kelly, Mollwitz
and Carter at an expense reported to
be in excess of $4,000. These amounts
SAVIOR of the days when the Feds were
busy bidding against organized base
ball and, after making reasonable al
lowance for eXaggeTation, lead TO the
belief that somebody must be making
money in baseball Notwithstanding the
copius rainy spells, wars, movies and
other factors which We're supposed 10
be curtailIng gate receipts.

Chicago, Aug. Third Baseman
Sticking of the Norfolk Virginia

by President Weeghman for the Cubs.
Sticking is a right handed batter and
has an average of 1926 for his work
thus far this season. He stands feet
10 inches high. weighs $50 pounds, and
probably is kind to his folks. He will
not join the Cubs until the close of the
Virginia league season. Catcher Row

PORT BYRON DEFEATS
THE MOLINE RANGERS

Moline Rangers were defeated Sun
day afternoon by Port Byron, the score
being TO z.
The game was played on the Rapids
City diamond and with the exception
of a few bad decisions the game was
well played. both teams acquitting
themselves in grand style. The Rang
ers had one bad inning, the third.
when Port Byron took advantage by
annexing six runs. Throughout the
nine innings only two fly balls were
knocked to the outfield, each team be-
ing credited with one.
In the sixth frame De White was ad-
vanced to third On Graham's double

COLLEGIATE GAMES
BRING SOME MONEY

According to an authority who keeps
close tabs upon the receipts and eX-
penSeS of major college athletics there
is some money in college baseball and
football. The net profits of the Har-
ward, Yale, Princeton and Pennsyl-
vania elevens last season is set at a
trifle over $4,000; while the mines
showed profit of something over $780,
900. The fact that the football teams,
playing less than a third as many
games as the baseball mines, were able
to pile up about eight times the profits
of the diamond combinations, shows
that the gridiron game still holds first
place as a money-maker in college
sports.
