BaroniaL Moguls To Begin Work

After reading that sl25.OoO was paid for Babe" Ruth, the ordinary fan begins to wonder "when will the limit be reached and what will that limit be-"
 Twenty years ago if anyone had pre- dicted that $125,0o0 would be paid for a ballplayer he would have been regarded as about as insane as the man who might predict now that bread will sell for $50 a loaf in 19S0.
 For in 1900 it was possible 10 buy almost an entire ball club for a trifle more than Sl25.O0O-and get players of value quite equal to those of this day. The sporting world gasped when S1t 000 was paid in 1908 by the Giants 10 Indian apolis for "Rube" Marquard It figured that the Giant owners had gone on : financial spree in the spending of such an enormous sum for a single hallplayer. But in a short time that price was pushed into the record discard when the Pirates paid s32.50o, or something like that, for Pitcher Marty oToole and a battery mate.
 TINKER DEAL That remained the "topnotch" for a while-and then came the deal that in- Volved Joe Tinker. The brilliant short stop, then with the Reds was dissatis- fed The Red owners were likewise So Garry Hermann placed him on the auc- ton block and Charlie Ebbets provoked columns of comment when he agreed to turn over S25,000 for Tinker's services. |. It was the new record-and Ebbets sought to capitalize the publicity his deal created. But Ebbets oyerdid things, stalled on signing up Tinker and giving him his share of the money. And so Tinker jumped organized baseball and made" the Federal League. The war between the Feds and organ ized baseball cost both sides total of s5, GOO GOO or more-a war that never would have gone beyond the quickly quelled revolt if it hadn't been for Tinker's jump. Later Benny Kauff was sold to the i Giants for sum in the neighborhood of 80 600. Later Iris Speaker went to the | Indians. And his purchase price was i part cash and part players. The totoal ! value of the players and the cash was
 around $40 GOO or $45,0oo
 The spring of 1917 saw the establish
 ment of a new record. For it was then ! that the deal was consummated whereby the Phillies sold Grover Alexander to the 1 Cubs for $50,00O. Once more the public | was aghast. And at the time many per sons familiar with the inside and tho l outside of baseball decided 1t would bt

THREE B|G GAMES ! ON TAP FOR LOCAL
 BASKETBALL FANS
Central-Sidney Lanier Tilt Expected to Be Best Seen Here In Sometime.
 Others

There are three big basketball
 games scheduled for Birmingham
 this week, one tonight at the .'Y7
 between the Birmingham-Southern
 Panthers, one between Sidney La-
 nier and Central High Friday aft
 ernoon, and the other between the
 B. A. c. CIubbers and the University
 of Alabama team Friday night.
 Each game is very important. The clash between the Partners and the Bulldogs is one that is planned for by each team throughout the season. The Central-Sidney Lanier game will have a definite bearing on the champion ship race in the. state, and the B. A. C.-Alabama affair is attracting much interest locally.
 Central and Sidney Lanier will un- doubtedly stage the hottest and hardest fought game of the season Friday. These two teams are considered by all as the ultimate state championship contenders. Neither has met defeat, and each has been making whirlwind showing this season.
 Hc OHly POSStplt W dy to gun par . Liic two teams is by their respective show ings against a common opponent. Bes- semer The Montgomery boys defeated Bessemer 52 to 12, but they had the ad- vantage of their home court. Central on the other hand, won from the Tigers 26 to 10. The Crimsons were handi capped by playing on strange court and one that was in every way diff ferent from their home court.
 The game Friday afternoon promises to be the best of the season.
 Coach Clarke of Marion had some
 nice things to say about the Gem
 traI quintet. He told Coach Bur
 bnge that Marion had been de-
 feated but three times on their
 court in six years. and that Gen.
 trai had administered two of those
 three drubbings. He asid that the
 Crimson quintet is about the best
 prep aggregation that he has seen
 in several years.
 It was noted that "Phenie" Crane, quarterback and captain of the 1919 football eleven, was in the lineup against Marion Saturday Crane played a mighty good game. and gained much praise from Coach Clarke and other Marion basketballers.
 It was with considerable disappoint- ment that local fans heard the an nouncement that the Draak-Lewis match was called off These two men would have undoubtedly put up the best scrap seen here in some time. a scrap which would have been a treat to local fans.
 Draak was coming to Birmingham from Canada, but missing his connec tions wired that he would be unable to make the match.
 Bill Streit stated yesterday that there would be another good match planned for. and that this one would probably take place in the next week or so. The names of no wrestlers were mentioned as probable principals in the match.
