Boston Braves, Ex-WorId's Champs,

for $500 last fall. He caught seventy
six games with a fielding average of
$50 but his batting was only .23S. As
Stallings sent Catcher Bert Whaling to
the coast at the end of the 1915 cam
psign. the Braves seemed TO be in a
bad way for backstops until Blackburn
began to display real quality in Florida.
Gowdy. the hero of the worlds series
with the Athletics in 1914. fell of in gen.
eral work to an alarming degree last
year but he seems to have taken a
new lease on life. The Braves, by the
way, have picked up corking outfeld-
er in Without, who played with the Ver-
non Pacific Coast League club last sea-
son. In III games Without knocked out
90 safe hits for a batting average OF
.S23. The Boston outflelders probably
will be Magee, without and Compton.
-
Iris Speaker has not yet signed with
the Boston Red Sox, although he is play
ing in practice games. He is trying to
force President Lannin to come across
with a new salary offer and Boston fans
are showing little sympathy for him.
Speaker practically held up Lannin in
March, 1914, for a two years contract
which netted $4,000, including bonuses.
If Lannin had not yielded to this exor-
bitant demand, Speaker would have
jumped to the Federal League Speak
ers share Of the worlds series last Octo-
Der was 1900, SO that he earnSd $4,000
for his seasons work. As the star center
felder's contract expired last fall, Lam
min decided that he had received more
than he was worth to the worlds cham
pions. So Speaker received an offer OF
5000 a year and a two years contract.
This was the salary paid to him in 1913,
but Speaker, it is understood, demands
$1,000 and a contract for five years.

up. There was always the idea how
ever, that the title was not to be in
terpreted literally. despite the recognized
worth OF the combination. The sale
of Frank Baker to the Yankees has
proved that the famous infield was not
overrated financially; in fact 1t was I'M
derrsted.
Mack got $4,000 when he transferred
Eddie Collins to the White Sox. Later
he got 5000 for Jaci-Barry from Joe
Lannin, of Boston. Two members Of the
quartet remained. and there was some
doubt as to whether Mack would, or
could, get $4,000 for the pair. The price
for Baker has never been officially an
nounced, but II is generally understood
that the home run king cost Rupert
and Huston $4,000. This leaves only
5000 to be accounted for by Stuffy Nc
1nnis. Stuffy, who is still a youngster,
has batted over 800 for six successive
years In the majors. and he would bring
two or three times that 1900. So that
famous infield was more than a $780,
900 proposition after all.
