Railroads reported profits up 1873

spurted when the broad advance in
business activity permitted a larger

through the net.
Chemical earnings, dependent chief

Groups dealing directly with the

substantial gains. Finance companies,
making possible the mass purchasing

baccos, food and utilities registered in

prices for leaf tobacco this year were
predicted by Sir Hugo Cunliffe-Owen,
chairman OF the Board of the British
American Tobacco Co., who arrived
here yesterday on the liner Europa.
Sir Hugo. accompanied by Lady
Cunliffe- Owen, said he had come to
America particularly to survey flood
damage to stocks of raw tobacco at
Louisville, KY, where the British COM
pany has a Subsidiary-the Brown
Williamson Tobacco Co.
His prediction of higher prices was
based, the visitor said. on a crop

bined with its greater use.

is in the "rocks" when he ascends
to the realm of the Major Leagues
The highest priced manager in
baseball is Joe Mccarthy of the New
York Yankees. Mccarthy receives
around $4,000 for his arduous job
of bossing the world champions and,
if you think that is easy because of
the constellation working under the
Rupert banner, just remember this
Jake Rupert insists upon a flag
all the time and a world champion
ship about half the time.
In fact, a couple of years ago when
Mccarthy missed out but still made
a fine showing, Rupert called him
into the front office. Listen now,
Joe," he said, 81 want pennant next
year, nothing less. Can we make it?
Whom do you need to make it a
cinch?"
Well, now, that wasn't exactly max
ing things any easier for Joe, was it?
He went out and won the flag and
beat the Giants in the series and
everything was hotsy-totsy once more,
but that's the kind of a guy Mr. Rup-
pert is to work for, so it appears that
Mccarthy earns that 35 grand.
The highest priced individual player
is Lou Gehrig who is actually getting
around 80 grand a season. Joe Di-
Maggie is the highest priced sopho-
more star with his $1,000 per and
Bob Feller, of course, is the highest
priced rookie who ever started a sea-
son. Beginning his first full cam
paign with Cleveland, he settled for
$4,000 and that is too much as things
Askov American., 1937-08-19

turned out. 1t is not much, however,
when you figure the promise that
Feller gave and the crowds which
came out to see him.
We always sympathize with Beau
Bell of the ST. Louis Browns when
talking about players and their SAL
aries. He must be the most under
paid ballplayer in the game today.
Last year, he actually had better first
year mark than Joe DiMaggio. Yet,
when winter contracts came around,
he was offered a paltry $4,000 by the
Browns. Naturally he held out. He
was hanging around with us mere
minor leaguers in the Miller train
ing camp at New Braunfels, Texas,
which is just about Beau's home town
and he was a disgruntled young man.
He asked for 10 grand and we con-
slider that eminently fair. But the
Browns wouldn't 60 so Beau finally
settled for $500 or $4,000.
Some rockies and even some second
or third year men in the big show
do not draw more than $4,000. And,
if you want something incongruous,
the Yankees do not have the highest
salary list. That distinction belongs
to the Detroit Tigers where Walter
Briggs, millionaire automobile man,
pays handsomely. Balance the stars
the Yanks with Gehrig, DiMaggio,
Dickey, Lazzeri, ct al. are no higher
than Gehringer, Cochrane, Greenberg
and company.
