1 that club for more seasoning and then was drafted by Cincinnati. A short time afterward the Giants traded Rusie to the Reds for Mathewson. Jack Chesbro, one of the greatest pitchers of all time, cost the Yankees about as much is now required to feed a baseball rookie for one week. Jake Daubert was secured from the Memphis team of the Southern League for a few hundred dollars. Dave Ban croft, one of the greatest of short stops, cost about s1,000. Jack Berry and Frank Baker jointly cost Connie Mack little more than railroad fare and the price of few telegrams.
 Few greater first basemen ever lived than Stuffy McInnis. Yet Connie Mack got him for nothing. Harry Heilman was sold to the Tigers for s1500. Charley Herzog was sold originally for about $400. The mighty Joe Jack son was disposed of by Greenville in the Carolina Association to the Ath- letics for the "princely" sum of $S25. Ed Konetchy, who starred for years as a first baseman, was originally sold by Lacrosse to the Cardinals for $500, Sherwood Magee, a baseball satellite for more than a decade, did not cost the Phillies a dollar. And the great Walter Maranville went from New Bedford Mass, to Boston for less than $1,0O0.
 SCHALK BOUGHT FOR S7OO
 Ray Schalk ranked the greatest living catcher, and was sold in 1912 by Milwaukee to the White Sox for $700. Everett Scott cost the Red Sox about $400.
 And as for George Sisler-well the Browns secured him for the price of couple of baseball suits. and today if Sisler were placed on the market he would probably bring as much as Hornsby, who is rated at $20). poo on the auction block. The Pirates thought they had possession of the great colle- gian, but the Browns also entered a claim And when the thing was car ried to the national commission Sis Ter was awarded to the American League Club.
 Grover Alexander was drafted by the PhilIies for about $500. Walter Johnson did not cost the Senators any more than railroad fare. Jim Bagby, the Indians pitching ace, was sold for $4O0. Stanley Coveleskie, the other Cleveland phenom cost the club only few hundred dollars.
 So it will be seen that with the ex- ception of Babe" Ruth. practically all of the remarkable players Ecw iden- tified with the game were purchased for trifling sums of money. All of which seems to establish more firmly than ever the fact that the magnate who pays $500 or $400 for an athlete is just as liable to secure a star as one who pays $10,000 or more.

The split with the Crackers yesterday came great disap- pcintment to many of us. Some how or other the idea had gotten in our noodles that the fact that Frnnk's nine is all shot to pieces would help the Barons take two in one day. It didn't, though.
 Fate has decreed fin bold and glaring letters that the Barons shall not win two games in one day. On one or two very rare occasions the Bnrons have won double header, hut not lately. There's one thing about splitting a double header that makes it unde- sirable. It does not help either team and it lowers the percentage of each provided both are first division aeams with an average of .500 or over Some fans have been heard to say that they would rather see their team lose two than split a twin bill. An even break is so unsatisfying.
 The fact that Atlanta is Atlanta and that the Crackers come from Atlanta must not cause local fans to become prejudiced to the fact that Franks aggregation is at present in a sadly crippled ccndf- tion.
 Fred Smith, q wonder at third base, is out of the game with in- juries. Red Wingo, an Outfielder, is subbing at the hot corner. Wingo is a good fielder and a hard worker, but, of course, he can not quite fill the gap left by Smiths absence.
 Martin, shortstop, was able to get back in the second game yesterday. During his absence another outfiieldet was used In the infield. Two pitchers, Sheehan and Suggs, were in the out field
 fleets, the Atlanta machine is further crippled by the fact that one or two of the players still in the lineup are suffering with minor injuries.
 With this set of cripp1es, Charley Frank should find little trouble in rid ing through to the penant on the ann bulance.
 Somebody stop that Bert Griffith b before he tears down some of the fences at Redwood park. Four long. clean hits out of five times up for one man is bordering on the dangerous.

An offer of $20O,O00 for Rogers Hornsby was rejected the other day-the very same Rogers Hornsby who cost the St. L3uss Cardinals $i00 less than four years ago.
 All Of which brings back to recollec- tSn that practically all of the greatest srArs in the game were secured for trIfling sums of money-and that the majority of the minor leaguers inn ported at fancy prices fail to make $sod.
 The mighty Ty Cobb was secured for s70O in 1905. The Tiger owners paid the money to the Augusta club of the South Atlantic League. And, strangely enough, for some time after the deal was made the Tigers weren't sure that they had not been fleeced. For Cobb during the first few months in the major league regalia showed nothing beyond deter imitation, speed and energy.
 Iris Speaker cost the Boston Red Sox $500 in 1908. Years afterward he was sold to the Cleveland Indians for s55,000. and right now if Speaker were placed on the market it is doubtful if any one could purchase him for less than $l000O0, even in face of the fact that he is g years of age.
 Dutch Reuther was secured from the minors for a trifle more than the pro- verbal song. He could not make good with the Cubs and the Reds finally took him over for the waiver price of s1.500. A reported offer of s75,O0O for Reuther was made by the very same Cubs, who let him loose for $1,5O0, and the offer was refused
 Eddie Plank and Chief Bender were collegians secured by Connie Mack with out the expenditure of dollar, and the same thing is true concerning Eddie Collins. In fact, Collins was so little thought of that he was almost willing to work full season without pay for the chance of displaying his wares.
 JOHNNY EVERS COST S2OO
 Johnny Evers cost the Cubs approxi- mately 800 when they secured him from the Troy, N. Y, team eighteen years ago. Hans Wagner brought $350 in 1897 from the Patterson, N. J., club. Napoleon Lajoie went from Fall River, Mass, to Philadelphia National League for sum variously reported as being between $500 and $500.
 Christy Mathewson was purchased by the Giants from the Norfolk, Va, team for a few hundred dollars, returned to

TY COBB SAYS THE
 TANKS CAN WIN

What do you think of the Yankees; think they're strong enough to win pennant?" Ty Cobb was asked. Yes" Cobb made answer. They're strong enough. They have a wonderful offense and the best pitching staff in the American League. There's one qualifi- cation. though, that they would be bet ter off if they had. A little more flight fight of the fiery, aggressive kind is what they most need now. Fight and aggressiveness are 20 per cent of any teams assets. With them you can create that mental hazard for the other fellow which tells against him so much. Leader.
