American League broke out and while
huge sums were spent for players,
they were paid in bonuses direct to
The players and not to the owners Of
the clubs.
So it was really not until 1915 that
immense sums were paid for players.
In that year Comiskey of the Chicago
Americans paid $5O,OOa for the con-
tract Of Second Baseman Eddie Collins
of Philadelphia and $4,000 for the con-
tract OF Outfelder Jackson Of Cleve-
land. Comiskey hoped that these men
would win a pennant for his team.
They did not just then. In 1916 Owner
Dunn of the Cleveland club broke all
previous records by paying Boston
$500 for Iris Speaker, the crack
center fielder of the Boston Americans.
The Cleveland club also gave Pitcher
Sam Jones and Third Baseman Fred
Thomas in the transaction. These
players were worth probably $4,000. so,
in all, Cleveland paid in cash and play
ers S57.5O0 for Speaker. This has re-
NAMED the high price TO date, unless
one can figure the players given with
cash for Mays or Nehf higher
President Navin Of the Detroit club
said recently that 100000 would not
buy the release Of Tyrus Raymond
Cobb. Navin says that Cobb is the best
drawing card in the American League.
Statistics would seem TO indicate that
Mr.. Navin is not far wrong in his est
mate OF the Georgia Peach. At home
and abroad the Detroit club is drawing
crowds that are diSproportionate TO its
standing in the race. Cobb is the only
explanation Of these enormous multi
tudes. Washington values Walter
Johnson at $4,000. though he is a vet
eran OF fourteen years service. Il is

Times have changed in baseball
since Boston surprised the country by
paying $4,000 for the release Of Mike
Kelly. the original Ten Thousand Dol
lar Beauty" in 1856. This was the first
large sum paid for the contract of a
baseball player Pitcher John Clark
son also was sold by Chicago to Bos-
ton for $4,000, but he never got the
name of $4,000 beauty" About 1883
the ST. Louis American Association
team sold Pitcher Foutz and Carruth-
ers. stars of the league. 10 Brooklyn
for some $4,000. That was consid-
cred a huge price TO pay for players
al the time. The Brotherhood war IN
1890 gave baseball a setback for a
time. and il wss not until the Amerl-
can League came along in 1900 that
large sums were again paid for the
contracts Of players. Frank Hess Rob
ison OF the ST. Louis Nationals paid
$4,000 for the release Of John J.Mc-
Graw in 1900 and some $4,000 for the
release of Catcher Robinson and Sec
ond Baseman Keister Wa with the

raised, or 10 a large extent under the
influence of the rich New York teams.
In this regard il has been pointed
out that the New York Nationals have
bought almost an entire team in the
pat three years. The players pur-
chased for huge sums have been:
Outfelder Kauh. Fed. League. .$35. 900
Pitcher Nehf. Boston Nationals. $4,000
LIST Baseman Chase. Cinci Nat. $4,000
Sd B'man Zimmerman. Chi. Nat 10000
Catcher Gonzales. ST. l.. Nat. $4,000
Catcher Snyder, St. L. Nat. $4,000
Pitcher Perritt. St L. Nationals 10000
Catcher Mccarthy. Bklyn Nat. 10000
Pitcher Douglas. Chicago Nat. 10000
Pitcher Toney. Cincinnati Nat. 1900
This makes practically $4,000 paid
other National League clubs for proved
star players in a period OF four years.
Briefly. it may be said. that each year
has seen the New York Nationals buy
at least three star players, players
worth $4,000 each. from other Nation
al League clubs.
II is known. too. that the st. Louis
club can get $4,000 from New York
any time It wants TO part with the con-
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1919-09-22

said that Cobb receives $4,000 a year
FOR playing six months of baseball.
Eddie Collins receives $4,000 a year
and iris Speaker had a contract
which expired n 1918 which called for
$4,000 a year. Since he has been
made manager of the Cleveland club
Speaker probably gets $4,000 a year.
Twenty years ago Pat Tebeau ran the
same club into first and second places
for a managerial salary of $4,000
year.
While some Of the star players are
getting big money many of the lesser
lights, many of them not so much
less, are getting round $4,000 to $4,000
a year. That means that there will be
a big rush for higher salaries in 1920.
After the war. when contracts were
being signed for 1919 the club owners
were afraid OF the attendance and the
players were not so sure Of it them
selves. So the young men were will
ing TO sign at low figures. They had
been drawing $50 a month in the army
and anything that looked like a con-
tract was eagerly snapped up. Now
the players have seen the huge mobs
that have attended baseball games all
over the country and they have seen
salaries in other lines go up and they
are sure 70 want theirs. So there you
are. The players were assured last
year that if the crowds showed up they
would get increases in salaries. The
crowds showed up all right. And it
is a cinch that the players will snow
up for huge increases Of salary in the
spring.

but their loss made ST. Louis a dead
baseball city as far as the National
League is concerned. Thus. while
clubs make money in New York they
lose money in st. Louis. It is also
pointed out TINT the power OF the New
York club in the National League is
simply overwhelming; that McGraw
seems 10 be able TO get any player he
wants from almost any club. This
year he got Douglas. crack pitcher.

and was at the top of his form when
New York got him. Then went Nehf

tionals, Snyder and Gonzales. the star
catchers of the ST. Louis Cardinals.
etc. Thus New York in buying its way
to a championship does much to hurt
other towns in the National League.
and you must have some one to play
with in baseball. No one will go out
to see the Giants or Yankees toss the
ball about.

one Of the most marvellous pitching
feats ever known in baseball. The
fact that Meadows was regarded as a

was limited to six or seven innings

Now, boy, when you are laying a

Then what is the use OF pitching

Take your time. Spare yourself. Save

Now 90 on and show them that you are
