Of $65, 900, has been q splendid

Roger Peckinpaugh is another

a jewel.
So, in view Of these specific
examples of players actually
panning gold for their clubs,
there is no basic reason for
the dubious to scott at the
type of quotations that accom-
pany deals such as that an

''Buck" Newsorn came here for
$4,000.
More Than Probable
Fact is, I think such prices
must be given credence, be-
cause the condition of the
player market makes them
more than probable. What
major league clubs with pen
nant chances there are, will
not sell for love or money, and
this early in the season there
isn't a club that can definitely
be counted out. Three months
ago nobody considered the
White Sox. Today they are a
threat and hanging on nobly.
The minor leagues are a
poor market. They are starving
and if they had players who
could make the major grade
the owners would also be justi-
fled in having dizzy ideas as to
their turnover price.
It is ali an issue Of supply
and demand, my friends, with
the latter far out-balancing the
former. Remembering these
things, $4,000 isn't so much!

AS AND GR|FFS
SWEEPSTAKES
BY FRANK BUCK O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

The Browns have moved out of
the Capital, and more's the pity
they could not linger. That's one
team the Griffs can beat, although
Bucky Harris contends that there
are others who'll be taken, now
that Newsom is ready for action.
The Browns have not yet won a
victory on the road. They have
played five in the East, three in
Philadelphia ana two here, and
bowed each time. They lost six in
a row out West. There hasn't
been a corporal's guard out to see
any of the games and the marvel
of the century is just how lar
that club can go.
$4,000 Will Aid
The $4,000 derived from the
sale of Newsom will aid no little,
but it can't help permanently. In
the long run it is victories that
draw crowds to the gate, and It's
the gate receipts that keep base
ball teams running.
Not so long ago Rogers Hornsby
had a buyer who offered close to
half a million dollars in cash for
the Browns. His offer was turned
down cold. Perhaps that same
offer, made today would be more
than welcome to the executors Of
Philip De c. Balls estate. Not
since 1922, when the Browns al
most won a pennant from the
Yankees, has the American League
team held the upper hand in st.
Louis.

|. Two Paying Investments
The six.figured sale prices Of
Ruth, Grove and Cronin, at
various stages of their careers
are generally accepted as truth,
and in the cases of Babe and
Lefty nobody can doubt that
they personally reproduced
many times their $125,000 and
$1,000 sale prices, respectively,
to the Yanks and Athletics who
made such OUTLAWS for them.
Cronin has not been with the
Red Sox long enough to justify
the expenditure in mis- case, but
he's got five years in which to
vindicate that price tag.

In June, 1888, there were approximately 565'ooO
iobhoIders on the federal payroll-excluslVe' OF

By June, 1884, the total had been boosted to
more than $1,000.
By June 80, 1885, it had scared to total of
$4,000. .r. .-i; q, -.
The climb continued. By September of this year
it had reached peak of 794,000-all paid out ot

That's lot of job-holders. There are at least
ten states in the Union that can't count as many
