NNE day Mary Jane met the
Fairy King in the Forest. The
Fairy King was only as tall as your
thumb. But he had a very good ap-
petite, and he was always hungry.
So he said to Mary, did you
bring anything good to eat with you2"
And Mary said, "I've got a lovely
spread Of bread with some delicious
Mary Jane Syrup on it, that my
mamma gave me for my lunch"
The Fairy King said, "Well, why
didn't you say 50 before? You know
that Mary Jane Syrup is what we
fairies always serve at our banquets,
when we want something especially
good"
So Mary brought out her bread

INTERNATIONAL TO
REMAIN SOLID THIS
SEASON IS VERDICT
Montreal, Quebec and Provi-
dence Unable to Cop Fran
chises in Circuit.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Owners Of
the Jersey City, Syracuse and Read
ing baseball clubs OF the Interna-
tional league. whose franchises were
sought by syndicates in Montreal,
uebec and Providence. r. l., an
nounced their intention az the an
nual league meeting Monday TO re-
main in the circuit.
Montreal and Providence. both in
the league before the war, have been
seeking 20 re-enter for more than
year The Jersey city. Syracuse
and Reading clubs did not return
large profits during the last two
seasons and for this reason il was
rumored that they would be willing
TO part with their franchises.
However, the owners Of the clubs
said they believed the game would
go better for them next season and
refused 20 even consider retirement.
Following this announcement the
Providence and Montreal promoters
SKID they had not given w hope.
They would bide their time, they
added. and should any of the In
ternational clubs decide 20 quit
after the opening of the season.
they would be ready TO jump in.

The league voted unanimously.
Pres't J. Conway Toole said, 10 re-
frain from further discussion of the

There was nothing TO do. he said.
but abide by the rule during its seven
years OF life (the length of Commits

Even if the International should
vote for a change, he declared, 1t
would have no effect, as a vote of
all the minor leagues was necessary
for any change.
Mr.. Toole said he thought that
some definite arrangements with the
majors on the optional player ques-
ton was Of the greatest Importance
10 the minors at this time The
majors now are permitted TO have
eight players out on optional agree
ments. and the class IA clubs six.
He asserted that the International

Pay Big Prices
For Young Stars
Money Means Nothing When
John McGraw Wants Ball
Player for His Club
BY BILLY EVANS

When John McGraw. famous lead
er OF the New York Giants. needs a
bail player money means nothing TO
him. At the minor league meeting
recently held at Buffalo. MEG raw
was the big noise. He put over two
deals that overshadowed anything
else transacted at the minor league
conference.
One day he startled the natives by
giving George Burns. his veteran star
Catcher Gonzales and $1,000 10
boot Tor Heinie Groh.
IL vas known that McGraw wanted
Groh. The Chicago Cubs also were
after the star third sacker. The Cuts
made a big offer. One that would
have SCARED off most MANAGERS.
Not Jawn McGraw. II was the Cab
offer that forced him 20 pay such an
eXtravagant figure for Groh.
The next day McGraw threw a
bomb into the meeting by paying the
san Francisco club $4,000 for First
BssemAn O'Connell, an untried mi
nor league ball player. What's more
ne will not be delivered 20 the New
York club until 1929.
OConnell Is unquestionably a great
ball player. He has proved his worth
as a minor Lacquer. He has yet 10
make god in the big show. McGraw
however, was 50 impressed with the
reports handed him on the big fell
low that ne decided 10 take a long
chance at a fancy price.
often Handicaps Player.
What percentage of the players
bought at a high price deliver? Does
the publicity given such sales make
the road to success more difficult?
1t is my opinion that any player
who IS bought at a fancy figure, i'm
mcdiately assumes a handicap. The
public naturally feels that a player
who costs so great an amount should
be a star from the very outset. OF
course that is a mistake. However
the public doesn't give that fact mucl
consideration.
Marty O'Toole. bought by Pitts
burg at a price OF $22,500 back in
1912, a price that startled the base
ball world. never was of any great
value to the Pittsburg club.
Larry Chappelle was a downright
bust" A big star in the minors. he
couldn't make the grade in the ma
jOrs. He was never more than a sub
stltute during HIS very short career.
Lefty Russell, a sensation in the
International. was a joke with the
Athletics. In justice 10 Russell it il
claimed he injured his arm before
reporting for his big league trial.
"Rube" Marquard for a long time
was known as the $1,000 Tenor"
because of his bad start. RUDE, how
ever. developed into a great pitcher
Fritz Maisel was always n handy
ball player to have around. but he
never developed into the star that he
gave promise OF as a busher.
All Of these players brought better
than 1000 when disposed of TO tho
big leagues.
Jimmy O'COnneH is a great ball
player, IL we believe all the nice
things that are being said about him
but that $4,000 sale. plus the pub
Lefty that II Will get, will cause the
New York fans 10 expect O'COnnel'
10 be another Hal Chase.
