Wonderful Outfield
Speaker Sold to Cleveland In.
dians for $4,000 and Two
Players.

BOSTON, April 9.-One of the greatest
outfelds OF modern baseball is broken
up today, the Boston Red Sox having
sold iris Speaker to the Cleveland In
dians for $4,000.
The famouT combination OF Lewis,
Speaker. end Hooper has for years been
rated by many as the greatest all
round combination IN baseball. or the
trio, Speaker was the hub.
Speaker was a hold-out, because, IL
is reported. the Red Sox MANAGEMENT
wanted to cut his salary in half. He
had been getting $4,000 a year. and the
club felt that with the passing OF the
Federal League, even Iris was not
worth that much money.
Then came the nattering offer of a
large lump Of cash and the choice OF
two Of the following: Sam Jones, pitch
er; Jack Graney. left fielder: Joe
Evans. third baseman, or Larry Cha
relle, sun fielder.
IL is reported that the salary to be
paid Speaker will be over $4,000. lie

Men Behind Scenes Do Great
Work But Are Silent About 1t

Behind the scenes at the fair,
there are a corps Of men, whose
duty it is TO see that everything is
shipshape and that things pass off
smoothly. so that there is not a
hitch in any par of the program.
These men are the hardest work
ed and least rewarded men on the
grounds. Theirs is not picturesque
work that takes them out in front Of
he crowds and gives them an op-
portunity to win its plaudits. They
work quietly and efficiently in Sc
Guided spots on the grounds. Most
Of them started their work on this
years fair shortly after the close Of
last years show.
