which went with it, may have
prompted the recipients thereof
to attach some additional value
to their services as hired help,
but the magnates will get very
little sympathy from the fans
for having withdrawn the plan
on any such score as that.
In baseball, as in any other
profession or industry or call
ing, q man should be worth
every nickel he can get. Most
big business is conducted on
such a theory and if baseball is
going to be a big business,
which it is and has been for
some time, it can't deny the
men in the ranks little oppor-
tunities to show their heads
above the pack wherever it is
possible. Big business today is
encouraging, not discouraging,
its rank and file.
What baseball needs to do is
to put more such temptations
and bonuses and awards in the
path of those who go in for it
as a business, rather than cut
down the glamor and incentive
to the youth of the land.
AS conditions are today the
supply of good baseball players
is nothing like the demand and
the more attractive and fasci-
mating the owners can make the
profession for the kids coming
up from the sandlots and coll
leges, the more candidates they
will get to fill the faltering
ranks as veterans drop out.
There may have been a time
when the mentalities of baseball

small thing in discounting this
valuable player reward. The
money for the award and
diploma didn't come out of their
pockets-it came out Of the
league fund.
If it made a player demand
more money the next time he
was called on to sign a con-
tract, it wouldn't work a hard
ship on any one owner, as in
time the annual award has
made the rounds of practically
every club in the circuit. 1t
was a nice gesture, that most
valuable player award, and we
hope the National League will
not follow suit.
Here is a yarn which has
nothing to do with sports.
Perhaps that is why we print it.
James William Bryan, the
enterprising racketeur who con-
ceived and saw the National
Press Building through to its
completion, was so physically
bankrupt when the task was
over that he had to go away for
his health for a period near on
to three months.
On his return he was lolling
around the luxurious lobby of
the club quarters, secretly .ad-
miring some of his handiwork,
when q new member espied him,
and walking up, extended his
hand in welcome and said:
"Ah, see you are stranger
here. Let me show you around
our new club"
The Washington times., 1929-05-08

Baseball magnates should
know their own business well
enough to guide the destinies Of
their game without any advice
from this quarter, but neverthe-
less it is our belief that in
abandoning the $1,000 most
valuable player award they
have taken something very in
spring away from the men who
toll for them-something that
at most was a very inexpensive
item in a business which goes
into big figures both in the
matter of outgo and income.

you will find few performers
today who begrudge another
any distinction he may CLEAN
in this respect.
It has been our experience
that the fans, not the players,
are the ones who make the most
dissension on the selection Of
this player or that. This chatter
is healthy, from the owners
standpoint, as any thread of
thought which makes for argu-
ment is simply keeping baseball
on the minds of the fans and
before the public.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.-Say, did
you know that an old country boy
from just % miles from Claremore,
Okla, was Secretary Of War? His
name is Pat Hurley. And he is
making good right from the jump,
too. He hadn't any more than been

Haiti. Course, that's not much of
a one, but it may lead into some
thing bigger and better.
Due to Pat, we are liable to wake
up some day with presidential tim

He was appointed because he had
fought in two wars and six Okla

right, they were seldom President.
