the bacon. Gerber greeted him with a
burning drive to left center. It looked
like certain triple and a possible
homer. but Beall. rushing back with
the ball, made one desperate lunge as it
passed over his head and, in some un-

DRAWING SALARIES
Pulls Down s67,312.28 While
With Boston Braves
Three Years.

This little tale is designed solely to
make bank presidents jealous.
1t is Johnny Evers' financial report
for three and half seasons service
as an employee of the Boston National
League Club.
Unlike the ordinary mortal. ball

instead of year. SO three and half

Yet in this brief time Johnny Eyers
drew from the Boston ball club the
enormous sum of $67,312.2s.
This is at the rate of S19,232.os per
annum.
Faint, Charles Schwab. Gasp. Mr.
Gary! Croak. Jacob Schiff.
Evers signed a contract in 1914 that
the Gar of Russia could never have
got away with in the days when he
was going good He Signed for $4,000
a season for the years Of 1914, 1915, 1916
and 1917. He received a check calling for
play ball with the Braves.
Now for an army of 'moreovers." If
the Braves finished first he was to draw
$1,000 extra as bonus. If they finished
second, the sum of $500; If third.
$1,000. Evers collected a bonus each
year.
In his first year in Boston the Braves
finished on top. so, in addition to the
grand bonus of $4,000 for signing and
$4,000 for the years salary, he drew
an extra $1,000 because Boston won the
pennant.
His world series loot was a bagatelle
of S2.s12.2s, making his total earnings
for 1914 the sum Of s39.sl2.2s.
In 1915 the Braves finished second.
and Johnny drew $4,000 in salary and
bonus Of $1,000, making the total
81, 800. Last year the Braves fell to
third, and Evers cashed in $4,000 in
salary and 81, 900 in bonus, making $11 600
This year Evers played virtually a
half year with the Braves and collected
approximately $1,000. OF course. he
will draw. the rest of the $4,000 from
the Pills at the end of the season. but
we are dealing with his Boston earn

spite the entrance Of the United States

game. The flags the national emblem.
For the good of the game and its
worldwide spread the appearance of
the White Sox and New York Giants in
a world series would be the best climax
that could happen in the major leagues.
Along the great white way in Gotham
and down base ball row in Chicago fans
are eagerly discussing the probability

Such a result of the present base ball
warfare would stimulate interest in
the sport and tend to keep it going.
even though the newspapers were filled
with casualty lists of our boys at the
front.
Wilson Approves Sport.
President Wilson has placed the
stamp of his approval on continuance
of major league base ball in times of
war. The nations leading sport is
needed in these distressing times, he
thinks. to keep up the spirits of those
at home as well as to furnish interest

Fans are dreaming Of the big series

pulling for the White Sox and the
Giants to win.
Grip on the Lead.
McGraw seems to have a firmer hold
on the lead in the National League
than has Rowland in the American
League. The clubs of the American
League are so evenly balanced that
accidents and injuries may prove the
deciding factors. Should either Cicotte
or Faber suffer from an injury and
be knocked out for the remainder of
the season Rowland would deserve
diamond medal IL his team won.
II the Red Sox should be hard hit
by injuries their chances would fade.
serious injury to Babe Ruth or Carl
Mays would grease the skids for the
champions in all probability.
Injuries to either Cicotte or Faber
on the Chicago Sox and to either Ruth
or Mays Of the worlds champions,
might send Cleveland to the front
provided Jim Dunn's Indians were i'm
mune from accidents. The loss of
Schalk and Weaver would be a solar
plexus blow to Comiskey. That Is why
one can't dope pennant race with any
amount Of accuracy in a well balanced
league.

WISE BOYS MISSED
It ON Jim BAGbY
Last Spring CIeveIander Was
Figured to Be an Even-AII
Hurier.

When the winter league was in ses-
sion the dopesters figured it out that
Stanley Coveleskie would be Cleye-
lands premier pitcher this season.
When the training season was under
way and the team began to shape up,
the predictions were that Coveleskie
and Morton would be the hurting stars
for Cleveland. with Joe Wood having a
good chance to be the third man.
James Bagby and Ed Klepfer were
touted as being fairly reliable assets,
but neither was press ACCENTED as being
better than a fifty-f1fty worker.
OF Bagby it was said, He is brainy
pitcher who has not got whole lot of
stuff. but who will win lot of games
if he has fair batting behind him and is
not worked too often"
Tribes Best Pitcher.
The last of July finds Jim Bagby the
premier pitcher Of the tribe. He has
won fourteen and lost nine games,
giving him a percentage Of 500. mark
in excess of that owned by the White
Sox. who lead the American League
race.
Wood has failed to come back Nor
ton has been an unreliable member of
the staff. Coveleskie has been a win
ner. but has been somewhat under the
weather of late.
But Sarge" Jim has come through
and done far better than was antici-
pated. In fact, had he pitched only true
to the advance notices, Cleveland would
be in the second division
Not only has he won fourteen games,
but he also has scored seven shut-outs
In two games he allowed but one run
each. In each of two others he allowed
but two runs. He allowed three in an
other. four in each of three others and
five in one. In addition, he went to the
rescue of fellow pitchers upon several
occasions and did not allow a run dur
ing his regime.

Could Have Been Worse.

Had the SourmanQ tipped the waiter
according to the continental system of
10 per cent there would have been an
other Is cents added to the bill. which
would have approached the maximum
allowance for a days rations. The ball
players. however, are not fnsistent on
eating in hotel dining rooms. They
would much rather do their rustling
for grub themselves, but this has been
found impracticable.
Nearly every ball club has at one
time or another tried the system of
each day and permit him to hunt his
own grub. This increased the trade of
the lunchrooms and chilli parlors,
swelled the bank accounts OF the In
dividua1, but put bunch OF emaciated
athletes in the field.
It is on record that a certain Chicago
ball player once started from Chicago
to Boston with $3.50 in his pocket. He
was allowed 81 a meal while en- route
and blew into the Hub with $3.50. This
particular athlete now has couple OF
farms in Wisconsin worth in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
Representative Madden may have
