winter stove league gets under way
is the monetary arrangement to be
made for next year between the
Cleveland Indians and a young man
named wesley Terrell.
Ferrell Is hot on the trail Of %
victories this year, his second year
I'm the majors. He is the answer To
the question of what's holding
Cleveland UP there in the first d.
vision with only one winning pitch
er on the club. He has beaten ev-
cry team in the league and dotes on
Furnishing the Athletics
A Bargain
Last year he won 81 games for
the Indians in his first year in the
majors. and ! understand his pay
envelope contained only $4,000. At
ter the seaso closed, young Mr.,
Terrell became most obdurate on
the subject Of stipend.
IF ! can win 20 games. I ought
to be worth five times that much
money" he told himself and Billy
Evans, business manager OF the
Cleveland club. Evans, however,
tsk-tsked the youths ambitious de-
mands, countering with the time
honored argument that one year in
fast company proves no mans
worth.
Il will win Is games this year.
young MI. Terrell told Kingfish
Evans. II begins to appear that
Terrell will make good his forecast.
Which puts Mr.. Evans in line for
some serious thinking.
Mr.. Terrell no doubt will be
poisoned with the idea that he
ought to collect somewhere in the
region Of % grandS for the season
OF 1881. He struck out Babe Ruth
three times in a recent game IN
New York, and Mr.. Ruth, you
know. gets $4,000 a year for that
kind Of effort.
whitehill's String
After winning II straight games,
beating every team in the Amerl-
can league except the st. Louis
Browns. Earl Whitehill finally was
stopped by the Lowry st. Louisans.
The catch in that is that Bucky
Harris gave his star southpaw an
extra day Of rest to let him face the
Browns at home, instead Of pitch
ing to the Athletics in Philadelphia.
Bucky thought Whitehill would
have a better chance to prolong
his winning streff by working on
the Browns than II he started
against the Mackmen- But the
Browns suddenly became most saw
age and snapped EaTrs streak by
a 5 to 4 score.

Then suddenly the young man
boldly beat the Athletics. Five days
later he gave the White Sox four
hits. They sent him In against

the Senators, 3 TO 2.
