1.-The maximum and minimum
salary paid to a player in either
the National or American League.
2-Is there any one man that
draws a salary of $4,000 per season?
3-Is there any that draws $4,000
per season?
1t is rather difficult to answer
Mr.. Nelson's first question. so far as
the minimum is concerned, but we
can answer as to the maximum, and
at the same time answer the queries
with reference to Ruth's stipend.
RUTH HIGHEST PAID.
For G. Herman Ruth is undoubt-
edly the highest salaried ball player
in the ranks Of baseball with his
$4,000 per season.
iris Speaker gets more so does
T. Raymond Cobb. but both are now
managers. 1t is said Speaker is the
highest salaried man in the game,
manager or private, and IL so he
must set in excess of $4,000, which
IL .aid to be Cobb's new salary.
When John j. McGrsw drew $4,000
per season for managing the Giants
1t was the talk of the country. Nc
Graw drew more than that figure be-
fore he bought into the New York
club, but II is doubtful II he ever
reached $4,000 just. as salary
McGraw was the first of the high
salary managers. now probably half
dozen come very close to his old
$4,000
Had Ruth been paid all the money
he was promised from sources outside
OF baseball last season, and had kept
all he received from all sources, he
would probably have wound up the
year as the biggest single seasons
money getter in the history OF the
game.
HE SPENT A LOT.
However, the redoubteble Babe did
not cash in on some OF the promises.
and II is known that he did q pretty
fair Job OF spending, so the chances
are his bank roll In not as fat as II
would be had 1t been properly nu-
tured.
The very highest salary we ever
heard OF any man getting out OF base
ball was taken down by the president
OF one OF the Eastern clubs OF the
National League. He drew s35, 900 In
cash. an additional chunk for ex-
penses, and the upkeep of two auto
mobiles.
ALSO A sTOCkHOLDER.
He was also stockholder in the
club, through his family, but the
items mentioned were in connection
with his job as president, and mad
nothing to do with n. revenue from
his stock. His total income from his
presidency probably exceeded Judge
Landis' s42,5 500 salary. which also
carries $4,000 for expenses.

ALICIA.

T HIS name is derived from the
i same root as Alice, and repre-
sents an attempt at greater euphony.
The curious part of 1t is that the
name, in it's original form, is really
not that of woman at all, but of
man. It is derived from the Anglo
Saxon Adelgis of which the feminine
form was Adelgisa, but was not fire.
uuently given to women. Instead 1t
was sacred to the sons of the house,
principally among the nobility. The
name itself means noble, in both its
masculine and feminine forms.
The name is purely English, having,
however, q slight Teutonic flavor. An
argument is put forward by some ex-
perts that the name is derived from
the Frankish Adalhert on Adelchen,
meaning daughter" Alix or Alisa in
Lombardy was naturalized in England
when Alix la Belle married Henry l.
The name, originally masculine, ac-
cording to the best authorities, how
ever, represents Adelgis and not Adel-
gisa, making the proper feminine form
Aliza. Some believe that Eliza, gen.
orally believed to be a derivative of
Elizabeth is this missing form. For
proof of Aliza as the representative of
Adelgisa, the Liber Vitas of Durham
records the changes in Adelgisa from
the first noble lady of that name, who
laid her gifts upon the altar. BY con-

The Right Thing
at the Right Time

q persons own -narrownesS to knock"
another town in this way. If the. man
from large city goes to a small one
he should take 1t for granted that
things would be different. If North
erner goes South he should bear in
mind that Southern climates make
people more indolent and he should re-
member that If he remains there long
enough he, too, will possess something
of that Incidence. And If a South
erner goes North he should remember
that the natives Of the northern cities
have really nothing to do with the raw
climate and that the very progressive
ness which has brought him North to
do business robs daily intercourse
of some of the charming courtesy
that makes Southern life so different.
The real man of the world soon for
gets any local prejudlces he may have,
or rather he is wise and well bred
enough to forget them. He realizes
that it is through no fault Of the ma
tives of the town where he sOjourns
that he has to remain among them and
that theoretically at least he is free
to leave the town if he does not like
it. Just at present there are a good
many shifts in business and industry.
The end Of the war and rehabilitation
of the soldiers and the closing of
certain war industries and the be-
ginning of other peace industries have
made it inevitable that a good many
young men should find themselves in
a new environment. City men find
themselves in the country or village,
and country and village men find
themselves for the first time in the big
cities; Fasteners find themselves in
the West. Westerners find themselves
East, Northerners awake to the fact
that great opportunities await in the
land of cotton and Southerners on dis
nmbarking in the northern ports dis
cover that there are opportunities for
them there that they have not at
home. If you are one of these young
men in a new environment show your
good sense and good breeding by not
knocking the town of your sojourn-
ing.
