THREE SPARKLING MAJOR LEAGUE STARS.

The good old family trees Of the
Smiths and the Joneses have been
pretty well represented in baseball for
number Of years. But neither the
Smiths nor the JOneses have ever
been able to claim the distinction of
having three sprouts from their fam
lily trees In the major league spotlight
at one time. such as the family Burns
claims today.
Three major league stars who are
In the midst of their baseball careers
represent the old Scotch family. They
are George J. Burns, Giant outfielder;
Eddie Burns, Philly catcher, and
George Burns, first baseman of the

THREE TIGERS WHO EARNED THEIR SALARIES.

When the ball players begin to talk
about the enormous profits made by
the magnates and demand larger cut
of these profits than they may happen
to be getting at the moment, they over
look one very important item.
This Is the enormous amount that
must be charged to depression each
season. There probably is no other
business In which this item Is proper
tionately so large, unless perhaps 1t Is
the Notwithstanding game, I'm which
an explosion Is likely to blow the plant
right Off the map mt any moment.
Must Keep Building.
1t Is, of course, among the players
that the depreciation takes place. ON
the buildings and grounds the rate Is
just about normal, but the athletes
have to be renewed often and hardly
one comes into possession of big
league club without considerable en-
pense being involved in his acquisi.
ton.
Just to cite an example of how fast
a ball clubs personnel charges. take
the roster of the Tigers at the begin
ming of the 1915 season. There is
picture hanging in President Navin's
Office that was taken opening day. two
years ago. Twenty.eight men are In
the group.

Burke may be listed as noncomba,ants,
which leaves only 20 active players.
