Speaking
of Sports

The salaries paid 10 players In the
American Basketball League have
always been much mooted subject
Of argument. Lately through the
offices Of an interested court fan. We
have been able to get some dope on
just what the players In the Amert-
Leagues arc paid for the services.
Nat Holman Of the Hakoahe OF
New York, former star Of the Gel
tics, draws doxn $4,000 a month
according. to the contract he signed
at the opening OF the season. He
10 the highest paid man in the
game today. 1t is said that his
salary will aggregate $ls.Soo for the
year.
Three other members of the Gel
TIC team are playing with the Clevc-
land quintet. They we're each given
4 bonus Of $500 for signing their
!. contracts while they are listed on
the pay roll for $4,000 a month for
4 season Of four months.
Davey Banks, din,inutive star OF
the former Celtics, is playing with
the Hakoahs as a partner Of Hoi-
man at a salary OF $1,000 per month
but the season for him will run five
months.
Johnny Dcckman, now with
Rochester, draws down a salary OF
1l,lOO month for four month";
This Rochester manager claims that
he IL getting the better of the. bar
gain 10 well has Beckman been go
ing during the preesnt year.
Benny Borgcman Of Paterson, N.
j.. is next on the List. He received
stipulated salary Of $1,000 a
rionth while Rusty Saunders Of
the same club. receives the same
Iay.i
McElwain, who starred with the
New Britain team this season before
he returned to Fort Wayne, is q re-
serve man OH the club, but he is
receiving salary Of 1900 for
warming the bench. Manager Lam
pher could hardly compete with
this.
Joe Brennan. Brooklyn Visitation
star. Is drawing down a salary OF
$500 month. Nat Hickey and
Honey Russell of Chicago arc draw
ing this amount also.
Al ksllet, center for the Trenton
Bengals, gets $3.50 a month for the
season while there arc many play
crs drawing down sums ranging
from $500 to 500 per month.
Because Of the fact that the race
this year for the championship Of
the American League is the hottest
IN years, the various clubs arc ex-
perienttng a wave OF prosperity.
Fort Wayne, Chicago. Cleveland
and Rochester are showing big
profits while the Brooklyn Vista
lions are little better than even.
New York. Paterson and Trenton
show slight losses for first half Of
the season.
The largest crowd on record at 4
game this year was registered at a
Kams In Cleveland last December.
There we're 5000 fans at the game
between the Hakoahs and Cleveland.
The record crowd at Chicago was
