PRESIDENT KING
OF ORLANDO CLUB
TALKS BASEBALL

Visitors in Lakeland during Mon
day were Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin o..
King of Orlando. Mr. King is the
president of the Orlando baseball
club. a consistent and intelligent boos-
ter for Orlando and an all-round good
fellow possessed of more than the aV-
erage love for clean sport. He was
on the way home from business trip
tc southwestern Florida but stopped
over long enough in Lakeland to make
inquiry as to how Lakeland is pro-
crossing with the sale of the $50 tick
cts which alone can assure the city
of another season of good ball. The
Telegram had already noted what Mr..
King had had to say about baseball
and what it means for Orlando, in an
article contributed to the Orlando
Morning Sentinel and had decided to
use it in full for the stimulus it would
give the local situation even before
Mr.. King called. He asked the Tele-
gram to emphasize every word of his
article and to say that it applied with
equal force to Lakeland. The Orlando
article follows:
The baseball situation in Orlando is
SeltlnS brighter every udg, Ndo lhC
comment made yesterday by Franklin
o. King president of the club. He said
that he was devoting every minute of
all available time to the situation and
urged cooperation. In a statement
which he issued he stressed the adj
vertising value of baseball to Orlando.
There cannot be any serious dis
cussion about the advertising benefits
a live town like Orlando derives from
baseball" said Mr.. King, because
such advertising like the ripple
caused by casting a stone into the wa
tiers of one of our beautiful lakes. goes
on and on in ever widening circles.
Last year, we know that on the sport
ing pages of nearly every high class
newspaper in the United States, Or
lando was heralded throughout the en-
tire season as leading the state league
and then walking away with the state
pennant over such towns as Jackson
vile and Tampa.
The mere fact that Orlando is be-
coming known as town with suffi-
cient enterprise and far-sightedness to
finance good baseball, mitigates in oul

ROLLINS AQUATIC PROGRAM

Winter Park, March TEN events
for the girls and ten for the boys will
comprise the program of the Florida
State Interscholastic Aquatic meet to
be held at Rollins College here April
29. Twenty-four silver cups valued
at $1,000, will be warded the winners,
not to mention the several gold, sill
yer and bronze medals.
Every high school in the state is
eligible to send both boys and girls
team. The boys program will be car
ried out in the morning while the
girls will meet in the afternoon. c..
w. STREET., first vice president of the
Amateur Athletic Union of the United
States, and president of the South
eastern Association of the A. A. u,
has signified his intention of attend
ing the meet, as also has Al Doonan,
of the Atlanta Athletic club. Both
men will officiate.
According to present indications,
officials say, the meet promises to be
the most successful, from the stand
point of entrants, ever held at the
school.

BABE RUTH TO
GET $375,OOO
FOR FIVE YEARS

New York, March 7.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press -George Wright, star
short stop of the Cincinnati Red
Stockings, played throughout the en-
tire season of 1869 for salary of
$1,000. The Red Stockings played
fifty-seven games that year, OF which
they won fifty-siX and tied one, rec
ord which has never been duplicated.
Wright was the highest paid member
of the team.
Babe Ruth, home-run hitter, re-
signed on Sunday a contract with the
New York American League which
will net him approximately $4,000
during the coming season. The con-
tract is for three years with renew
al option for two seasons additional.
If continued for the full five years,
George Herman Ruth will receive a
total of not less than $375,000.
These figures give an idea of the
development of professional baseball
in this country during the past fifty
years. They also are the cause of
frequent conferences behind closed
doors in which the baseball magnates
argue the question as to whether they
are building a salary frankenstein
which will in time turn and destroy
what has been in the past a reason
ably profitable business. Big league
baseball club owners will not DISCUSS
publicly this subject except in the
most abstract way. 1t is the consen-
sus of opinion as expressed by the
magnates, however, that the situation
is serious
1t is estimated that the salary lists
of the sixteen clubs of the two major
leagues will aggregate more than ST.
100000 this season. The maximum
figures for any one club are placed at
about $225,000 and the minimum at a
trifie over 100000. To this expense
must be added ground rent, travel
charges, local, state and federal taxes;
interest on mortgages, officers and
officers and clerical salaries and minor
charges such as advertising ticket
printing and supplies.
A study of baseball salaries over a
period of the past thirty to forty years
shows the steady increase which has
developed from year to year. In the
early seventies $500 was a top notch
figure for a star player. At the begin
ming of 1900, players of similar cali
bre were receiving from $4,000 to
$4,000 season.
A few years later the famous Chi
cago Nationals infield drew the fol-
lowing figures:
Frank Chance, $4,000; Johnny Ev-
ers, $4,000; Joe Tinker, $500, and
Steinfeldt, $4,000.
About the same time Pittsburgh was
paying Honus Wagner $4,000 and
Tommy Leach $4,000 The Athletics
famous infield, consisting of Eddie
Collins, Frank Baker, Stuffy McInnis
and Barry, drew an annual total of
$17,500, of which Collins collected

favor, because people are talking
about Orlando all over the country,
and they cannot help admiring the
pep" and courage and stick-to-it-ive-
ness that is characteristic of The City
Beautiful. You cannot talk to ninety
per cent of the intelligent people in
New York and Chicago about Florida
without finding that they have heard
favorable reports regarding the indus
try and progressiveness of Orlando.
I'm addition to the many climatic
advantages we have, and the beauty
of our natural surroundings, we need
amusement features, both summer and
winter. to make our town more at
tractive to tourists and travellers. We
are building big hotels and advertis
ing Orlando to the ends of the earth
and we desire to attract people of cul
ture and refinement, as well as the
workers who till our fields and groves
to the end that this will be the Gar
den Spot of America.
ITO attract such people, we must
furnish them some amusement besides
street corner gossip, and the study OF
monotony. We should give them what
they have been accustomed to in the
big cities, to make them feel at home
This can be done by giving them base
ball in the good old summer time, and
good band music in the winter. We
will have in Burke's Bulldogs, as we
now have in Cola-Santo's band, an
unfailing remedy for lonesomeness
and an antidote for care, both sum
mer and winter. Our own citizens can
enjoy themselves at the same time
and Orlando will enhance her reputa
tion as the play ground of the Land
of Flowers.
Lets get in behind the band and
the ball club. Give what you can tC
the band. and don't fail to sign up for
a season ticket to the ball games. You
will never miss the money, on our
easy, monthly payment plan, and you
will be comforting a favor on yourself

carried to the bitter end.
Messrs. Neville and Perry, of the

TO be wired in as early as possible.
One of the schedules is based on 4
two game series. which with tn"
advent Jacksonville is in the league,
is prohibitive because of the increa =
ed mileage and corresponding in
crease in expenses. The other two
are based on the three games series.

close to third.
Some twenty years ago the Nation
al League had a salary limit of 3d.
400. Ten years ago it was said that
average salary in the Major League
was not more than $4,000. Today it is
almost double these figures The play
ers are not, however, the only ones
who have benefited by the rising sal
airy wave. The managers of the clubs
also profit. In 1898 Frank Chance re-
ceived $1,000 during his first year as a
player with the Chicago Cubs Fifteen
years later, he drew a salary of $685.
900 a year and five per cent Of the
club profits as manager of the New
York Americans About the same time
iris Speaker was drawing $4,000 a
year with the Boston Americans. His
present contract with Cleveland is
much more remunerative. In 1916,
Garry Hermann, president of the Gin
cinnati Nationals, testified that salary
roll for the team that year was $780,
500, OF which Christy Matthewson, as
manager, drew $4,000; Charley Her
zog, $4,000, and Hal Chase, $4,000.
Following the baseball war with the
Federal League the magnates pro-
claimed loudly that salaries must
come down but they went up instead.
Other expenses accompanied them.
President Ban Johnson, of the Ameri-
can League, receives $4,000 a year

Lands, as high baseball commission
