Is Dudley Lee, the shortstop from

ties brings high price in the base
ball market it is only natural that
he should be impressed with his
own importance. With becoming
confidence he usually tells his in
reviewers that he will set the Dig
league on fire and break down the
fences.
He must have his lawyers look
over his contract before he signs,
and he must listen to the whisper
ings Of dozens of advisers before he
decides to go South to the training
camp. On all sides he hears how
good he Is.
1t is refreshing to run across a
newcomer like Lee who cannot
understand why he can be worth
ne much as $4,000.
