Cobb is out of our line up the gate receipts
take a big tumble. And every time Wal
ter Johnson is advertised to pitch in De-
troit the receipts jump about thirty per
cent.
"What does a club get when a star is
suspended A financial loss. And what
does the star getf Nothing more than a
vacation. Baseball clubs should fine the
player for every day that he is out of the
lineup.
Baseball clubs have been in the habit
of paying the fines for their players and
in this they are peculiar for in no other
business does n firm fail TO dock lis en-
ployes especially if they are trouble-m max
ers. ANY time a players pocketbook Is
hit. you hit his weak spot. And that H.
what should be hit, not the club that has
his contract or the public, which pays the
price TO see him play"
