Lope for Baseball Keeps Players in Uniforms After
 They Become Wealthy

CHICAGO, July 19-Salaries as paid out by the major league magnates hold their attraction for the vast majority of the play CTS in the American and National leagues, but to much smaller group it is the urge to play the game that ranks above the desire for added wealth.
 There is the case of Frankie Frisch, the St. Louis Cardonal captain and second baseman, who could profit we'll if he would but follow the footsteps of his veal thy father, who is in the linen importing business in New York. But Frankie prefers to dance around second base.
 And there is Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the Georgia peach, now roaming the outer gardens for the Philadelphia Athletics. Cobb was one of the first of the dia- mond stars to become known as wealthy, acquiring his money through a few lucky or wise plays on the stock market and careful hoarding of his five figure salary.

 George Earnshaw, the Ath- letics' pitcher acquisitioned from Baltimore. is a rich man, but he would much rather face the Yan- kees than live in the luxury of his wealth.
 Percy Lee Jones, Chicago Cubs southpaw ace, fell heir to a small fortune, and on his next appear Pirates drove him from the mound. Jones might be able to retire on his inheritance, but he could not retire the Pirates.
 Pitcher Al Mamaux inherited a small fortune from the estate of his grandfather and added it to his income from baseball and stage work to become one of baseball's richest players. The team of Mamaux and Jess Pet ty, the latter a Brooklyn pitch CT, went over big on the stage last winter.
 One of the noted plutocrats of the game was "Tillie" Schafer, the famous "perfumed note man" of the New York Giants. "Til- lie'' was known to be independ- ently wealthy and consequently was the target for numerous mash notes. He would be dress ing in the locker room after game when a chauffeur would come in and announce that his car was waiting. In few min- utes Tillie would be off for country house party with debu- tante.
