LOS ANGELES. Jan. 12.-"The

yesterday, but the pay-off went
to Lighthouse" Harry Cooper, Of
Chicago-not to Horton Smith
and today as Harry and Mrs.
Cooper motored north to Oakland
for the playing of the Oakland

Never in the history of the Los

there been the drama there was
yesterday when Cooper came from
two strokes back at the end of the
third round to overtake the field,

Close to the pace but hopeleSSly
outdiStanced by the red-hot golf

Of Chicago, leader at the end of
the third round, and Ralph Gull
dahl, of st. Louis, who led Cooper
by a stroke at the end of the
sixty-third hole with but nine to
go.
They wound up with scores of
279, tied for second place. They
were but a stroke ahead Of Henry

One stroke back were Mark Fry

Highest
Paid Club In
Baseball
BY PAT ROBINSON
International News Service

NEW YORK. Jan. 12.-The
world champion Yankees will be
the highest paid club in baseball
this year.
The Yanks will draw at least as
much in salarieS-and perhaps a
bit more-than they did when
Babe Ruth was. getting his $780,
900 a year. ~
This, of course, means the av-
erage Yankee today is getting
more than the Yanks of the Ruth
era for the Babe himself drew
almost a third of the Yankee pay
roll, which then amounted to
about $270,000.
From a source close to Yankee
and other major league payrolls,
the writer learned today that the
Yankees 1897 payroll will run be-
tween $265, 900 and $3.50, 900, the
exact amount depending on ne
gotiationS still to be made with
some of the players in the higher
income brackets.
"DeSpite ever recurring re-
ports to the contrary" said my
informant, "there never was q
100000 payroll in baseball On
the other hand, the payrOllS Of
some clubs always are under
estimated. / doubt that even the
PhiIs or Browns will get by un-
der $1,000 each this year and
the figure may be considerably
higher. -----
ct might appear to an out
slider that the YankS and Giants,
being pennant winners, would be
harder to sign up than players
Of other clubs, but such is not
the case. The total salary in
crease for each club probably
will run between $4,000 and
$3O,OOO."
