N 'GRAW'S $4,000
SETS SALARY RECORD
Started to Manage Giants 20
Years Ago at $4,000 a
Season.

New York, Jan. 21.-Ty Cobb Is no
longer the highest salaried manager
in baseball. John J. McGraw yester-
day signed a new contract for five
years as leader of the Giants at $685.
900 season. McGraw now not only
tops all other managers. but also
heads the noted Mr.. Ruth-for the
time being, at any rate. Babes docu-
ment last season called for $4,000 fat
and $500 for each home run, giving
him a gross income of S59,500.
Timidity is not among the faults Of
the peerless swatter. and he put in a
bid for $4,000 fat and $500 for each
home run, $500 for each round trip
hit.
Babe will get contract for s60, 900
of the $4,000 and $500 premium for
each of his home runs. Because of
his suspension until May 20, Babe
will be Fortunate to get as many as
fifty circuit wallops this year, but
even so he is certain TO finish the sea-
son several thousand dollars better
off than McGraw.
The leaps of John McGraw's salary
have been without precedent in base
ball. He began here in 1902 at $1,000.
a big price in those days. In 1912,
when the owners advanced his figure
to $4,000 the baseball world gasped.
When Harry Hampstead wrote $50. 900
in the McGraw contract four years
later, fandom thought the topmost
rung had been reached.
Shortly afterward Babe Ruth's star
showed over the horizon and McGraw
until Babe became a Yankee in 1920,
however, that his total baseball salary
waxed greater than that OF McGraw.
Ty Cobb always was high salaried
star and when Navin came TO make
the Georgia peach manager of the De-
troit Tigers last season he so arrang-
ed the figures that Ty became the
highest priced leader in the game. sec
ond among players only to Babe Ruth.
The Cobb contract called for $50, 900,
exempt from income tax, which was
paid by the Detroit Club. Thus Ty's
real salary last year was something
around s3S,000.
And now comes the durable leader
McGraw, at s65.ooo. The limit until
the next great manager happens
along.
McGraw was asked. in connection
with the contract, if he had made ar
rangements to resume active duty on
the coaching lines, a job he has left
to his assistants for several years. III
is too soon 10 talk about that now" he
replied. II may go to the coaching
lines this season, but certainly not in
the early days"
The veteran manager Will celebrate
his twentieth anniversary as leader
Of the Giants next July. In that time
he has placed his team in the second
division but once, in fourth place
twice, In third place once and all
other seasons in first or second place

Out in country fields, down in coal

cused of murder were again the sub
jects of discussion.
For the second panel Of the jury
that will try the five indicted men had
been chosen. An eighth man, accep-
table to both state and defense had
been accepted. After two weeks of
examining prospective jurors without
finding any that were qualified, op-
posing attorneys had finally come to
a. decision on George Craig, justice of
the peace and farmer, and the people
of the county again saw the possibility
that the five men would be brought
to trial.
Even the little court room where
but yesterday the dull monotony of
questions and answers as Veniremen
were being examined continued slowly
and ponderously, was awake today

questions with more speed and alac-

10 WATERLESS. DAYS
CAUSE MEXICO TO
COMMANDER SUPPLY
fBy Associated Press

MEXICO CITY. Nov. 2s.-The gray
ity of the situation caused by 10 water
less days here led to q protracted de-
bate in the chamber of deputies last
night with the result that resolution
was passed authorizing President
Obregon to use extraordinary powers
granted him by the constitution to
commander all water supplies and to
adopt any measures necessary to COM
bat epidemics.
1t is expected that the president will
order all artesian wells to be taken
over and that the federal forces in the
capital will be modified to enforce
sanitary regulations.
Profiteering in water has appeared
on a small scale and the price has
risen several cents liter within the
last few days. The poor felt this In
crease considerably. The newspapers
charge that INSCRIPTIONS vendors are
offering contaminated water and steps
have been taken to supervise all sup
plies.
The appearance of typhoid in the
capital has aroused the citizens, many
of whom are making preparations to
leave il the epidemic assumes threat
ening proportions.
The newspapers are unanimous in
attacking the city council for negli-
gence IN permitting the city water sup
! ply plant to deteriorate without max
| ing provisions for repairs.
