Owner StOneham
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL


NEW YORK, Jan. 3.--With good
intention and some trepidation, the
owners of the two champion bail
clubs here are getting new salary
papers ready for their athletes.
Champion ball clubs in recent
years have developed the habit of
expecting large raises in salaries af-
ter winning pennants for their own
ers.
cone or two of the Giants may
get an increase in salary, but some
of them may feel fortunate i'll get
ting to look at contract" Charles
A. Stoneham, owner of the Nationa
League champions, said.
Frisch, Young and jackson arc on
the list for more money, but most
of the players will have to be con
tent with what they were drawln2
on their expired contracts. All of
the Giants but Kelly have to be
signed.
Giants May Dictate
The Giants, in talking terms with
the players, are in Il better position
to argue against general raises than
the Yankees. The American League
champions may figure that they are
working for n wealthy boss who
ought to be generous now that they
have given HIM his first world s
championship.
The Giant contracts will be mail
ed out in another week, but the
Yank officials have not made known
when they will get into their job.
Colonel Rupert faces the job of
signing every player on the team
with the exception of Babe Ruth,
and they all want more money. Rup-
pert is anything but tight mag
nate, but while generous he is not
extravagant. Players are to be Civ
en- watches as souvenirs of the vie
tory in the worlds series and Col
onel Rupert is to give each of them
a gold fob to go with the watch.
