same time iris Speaker was draw
ing $4,000 a year with the Boston
Americans. His present contract
with Cleveland is much more re-
munerative.
In 1916. Garry Hermann. president
of the Cincinnati Nationals, testified
that the salary roll for the team that
year was SS9.500. Of which Christy
Mathewson. as manager. drew $4,000:
Charley Herzog. $4,000, and Hal
Chase. $4,000.
Go Up. Instead Of Down.
Following the base ball war with
the Federal League the magnates pro-
claimed loudly that salaries must
come down. but they wen. up instead.
Other expenses accompanied them.
President Ban johnson of the Ameri-
can League receives $25.000 a year
under q twenty-year contract; Judge
Lands. as high base ball commits
sioner. has a seven-year contract at
$50, 900 q year
Manager McGraw Of the New York
Giants recently signed a dve-year
contract at figures said to. be $4,000
a season. Two players purchased by
his club within the past few months
cost $l25.000. for 1t was reported that
Heinie Groh came from Cincinnati
for $4,000 and Charles O'Connell from
the Pacific Coast League a year hence
at $4,000.
Verify. base ball has grown consid-
erably since Nick Young received a
tary Of the National League back in
1876. and in his initial report showed
receipts Of $s2l.s2 and expenses of
$4i5.50.
Evening star., 1922-03-07

These figures give an idea of the de-
velopment Of professional base bail
in this country during the past fifty
years. They also are the cause Of fire.
Quent conferences behind closed doors
In which magnates argue the question
as to whether they are building q sal
ary Frankenstein which will in time
turn and destroy what has been in the
past reasonably profitable business
Big league base ball club owners will
not discuss publicly this subject ex-
cept In the most abstract way. It Is
the consensus Of opinion as expressed
by the magnates. however. that the
situation is serious.
Salaries in Majors $1,000. 900.
1t is estimated that the salary lists
OF the sixteen clubs of the two major
Leagues will aggregate more than
<2,000.OO0 this season. The maximum
ngures for any one club are placed at
about $225,000. and the minimum at a
trihe over 100000. To this expense
must be added ground rent, travel
charges. local. state and federal taxes;
interest on mortgages, officers and
clerical salaries and minor charges
such as advertising. ticket printing
and supplies.
A study Of base ball salaries over
period OF the past thirty to forty
years shows the steady increase which
Eas developed from year to year. In
the early seventies $500 was q top
notch ngure for star player At the
beginning of 1900 players Of similar
caiiber were receiving from SIS, 900 to
$4,000 q season.
A few years later the famous Chi
caso Nationals infield drew the fol-
lowing figures: Frank Chance, $l0,-
600; Johnny Evers. $4,000; Joe
Tinker, $500. and Steinfeldt. $4,000.
Pirates Paid Wagner $4,000.
About the same time Pittsburgh
was paying Honus Wagner $4,000
and Tommy Leach $4.500. The Ath-
letics' famous inheld, consisting of
Eddie Collins. Frank Baker, Stuffy
McInnis and Barry. drew an annual
total of s17,500. of which Collins COL
lected close to q third.
Some twenty years ago the Ma
tional League had a salary limit Of
$2,400. Ten years ago 1t was said
that the average salary in the major
league was not more than $500. To-
day it is almost double these figures
The players are not. however. the
only ones who have benefited by the
rising salary wave. The managers
of the clubs also profit. In 1898
Frank Chance received $1,000 during
his first year as a player with the
Chicago Cubs.
Fifteen years later he drew a sal
ary of $4,000 q year and per cent
Of the club profits as manager Of the
New York Americans. About the

Owen Bush, former shortstop Of the
Detroit Tigers, obtained terms and

nounced by President GriHith- today,
following receipt of a letter from
Bush at his home In indianapolis.
Bush at no time has been a holdout.
according to Qriffith. who says the

himself regular employment through

Six of the thirteen hurlers in camp
ohiciated for short periods on the
mound in the batting practice and
they all gave evidence of the benefit
obtained from their preliminary work.
Courtney headed the list and in his
advanced condition afforded lot OF
trouble to the players. who have not
seen a pitched ball for five months. He
Gleason, McGrew and Woodward. In that
order. Next to Courtney, Woodward
and Gleason looked the most impress
aive. The latter has a side-arm mo-
ton, very similar to that employed
by johnson, and the parallel also IN
cludes a free, easy motion.
Francis Slow in Developing.
Francis does not seem to be pro-
crossing very fast in learning to get
weight of body into his delivery, but
NcGrew is showing such an aptitude
for carrying out instructions that 1t
may be only few weeks until he mas
mastered the new style. one calculated
to render a boxman of his height ana
natural ability exceedingly formida-
BILE. The tall Texan has completely
discarded his customary delivery for
q motion that Is a cross between side
arm and underhand. II 1t develops
that he has as much stun as Is suS-
able to win ball games in the big
show this year, for he can move
around with surprising speed despite
his ungainly form.
Phillips, Miller and Digges were
not called on to climb the hill yes
cerday, but will be impressed for
that service today, while johnson,
Zachary and Erickson. being out for
the first time. took things easy.
They loosened their wings by lobbing
the ball bit and fielded some bunts.
Johnson is carrying just enough
extra weight to lose by exercise
here. Eric appears trimmer than
usual and displayed a lot OF pep IN
amusing himself around first base.
Rice Shows Keen Eye.
!. Torres and Noone divided the work
hack of the plate in the hitting prac-
tiee and welded sticks along with
Milan, Rice, Harris, Goebel, Lamotte
and Bleuge. Rice's batting eye never
seems to desert him and Harris also
met the ball we'll his vision being
'aharpened by several weeks spent on
the golf links. Goebel had the great
est dificulty Of them all in gauging
tho straight ones exclusively served
by the pitchers, but improved great
