McGraw Puts Huge Value
on Connie Mack's Aces

An outfield of AL Simmons, Iris
Speaker and Ty Cobb, with all three
in their prime, would be worth $780,
600 in the estimation of John Nc
Graw, manager of the New York
Giants.
''Simmons is worth S150000 to any
ball club" McGraw said. IF Speaker
were in his prime, I'd give S25O,000
for him, and if Cobb were the Cobb of
old, I'd be glad to pay 100000 for
him."
Miller Higgins, manager of the
Yankees, believes the Athletics out
field is worth about S125.000 today.
''But if Cobb and Speaker were at
their best along with Simmons, they'd
be worth about $500,000," he said.

of Missions building, which might
affect the building offer.
Among arguments for removal
was the more favorable taxation
situation in Indiana Opposition
to the move was based on the
statement that Indianapolis is far
ther away from the future growth
of the organization; that st. Louis
offers better facilities and is more
metropolitan, and that suitable
building might be found in st.
