Ebbest Not Set Back Much for
 His Dodger Team.


 If cost c. II Ebbets less than S2O .OOO to gather together a ball team which netted him profit or more than $2OO,0OO. The Dodgers size up as the cheapest collection of ball players in existence; a team made up of cast-ohs and men called "never-wuzzers" by other managers. Yet Wilbert Robinson welded this material into such powerful, com pact mass, that it swept, of it's own momentum, to the very crest of the National League.
 And so, the name of Robinson must be added to the list of miracle managers"
 The highest-priced ball player in the Dodger roster was George Cut shaw. the second baseman. He cost Ebbets S2.3OO. The average price paid for the twenty-two play ers eligible for the world series was less than S1,OOO. Several of the Dodgers came to Ebbets as gifts. Others cost only a few hundred. Nevt to Cutshaw, the most costly men were those secured via the .S1,5OO waiver route.
 Here is how Ebbets recruited his team;

PLATFORM OF REPUBLICAN CAN
DIDATEs FOR COMMISSIONER.

All candidates for State or National
offices go before the people on some
definite pledge or platform. Usually,
in County affairs, where the voters are
more vitality interested in the conduct
of the office, their candidates seek
their suffrages without any announced
or stated purpose or program. oucn
procedure leaves the newly elected
officer, and the citizens generally III
state of uncertainty. The voters have
right to know what to expect OF the
men for whom they vote. Therefore,
as candidates on the Republican ticket,
for the positions of County Commits
sioners of Bingham County, we feel 1t
our duty to the electors of Bingham
County, to make our positions PLAIN
and clear on several of the most i'm
portant questions that affect the citi.
zens of our county at this time, and
have adopted the following as our plan
for the conduct of the county business,
if we should be elected next November,
tOwit:
|. We stand firmly for good and
permanent county roads, and II 1t Is
the wish of the majority of the voters,
to be expressed at an election to be
called for that purpose, and so that the
people may be relieved of the burden
of increased taxes to get such good
roads. to issue bonds to cover the ncces-
sary ex,,erses in building the same.
We pledge ourselves to call such an
election that the people may express
their wishes in that regard.
= We pledge ourselves to strict
economy in the expenditure OF public
money, consistent with good govern
mcnt and the improvements necessary
for the advancement Of the interests
of rapidly growing country.
3. We pledge ourselves, If elected
to hold Board meetings monthly, III.
stead of quarterly, for the purpose OF
allowing bills, and transacting any oth
er business that may come before thP
board, so that we can thereby better
serve the people generally.
/. We promise our best efforts to get
Federal and State aid in the line OF
road improvements, thus getting oul
main highways under a system OF state
control. so that the maintenance eN
penses will be minimized upon the ta>
PAYERS of this county.
5. We pledge ourselves to appoint
efficient persons to all positions where
we have the appointive power, having
in mind solely our plain duty to GU
constituents, and the welfare of tn
county.
6. We further and finally pledg
ourselves to use our best efforts slngl.
and collectively, to make the comm;
administration a clean, efficient, bus
incsslike administration, and success
in every way possible.
