halfbacks than Center College

Colonels won imperishable football
fame and as many as Rock ordi-

he nov holds equal rank at the

Stevenson is a grand kicker and

RENTALS OFFSET.
HUGE OVERHEAD
BY PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, Oct. 20 U.N.S0
Mr.. Gus @. Fan reads Of the New
York YankS returning $185, 900
for a single unplayed World
Series game and he muses. to him.
Iself: Gosh, those ball clubs must
make millions"
But take it from Leo Bondy,
treasurer and vice-president Of the
New York Giants, no ball club
ever made a million, or even half
"a million dollars, in any year.
In an exclusive interview with
International News Service today,
Bondy revealed that 100000 is
considered a marvellous yearly
profit for any ball club and-this
will surprise you-it often happens
that a tail-ender will make more
than a pennant winner.
Take the Giants, for ex-
ample" explained Bondy. I'VE
had a great year. Played to
850,000 at home and 100000 on
the road. Now the average fan
probably thinks we must have
made a million.
LITTLE FROM BASEBALL
"As a matter of fact, we
won't make more than $250,000
profit on the year, and little, if
any, of that profit will come
from baseball!
THE Giants and Yankees,
who own their own great sta
diums, have a huge overhead,
and they are lucky to break
even on their baseball season.
So we must depend on big out
door fights and rental from our
football games to show us a
neat profit.
"A team like the Phillies, how
ever, which only pays rental for
its ball park, has a compare
lively small salary list, and
comparatively small overhead,
can make a little money on a
100000 home attendance and
can net a nice return by the
sale of a player or two.
I'VE gross about 68 cents a
head for home attendance and
about 2312 cents a head for our
road games. Well, you may say,
that's pretty good and it is. 1t
would also be better If it were
net. But it's not.
MILLIONS INVESTED
"First of all we have millions
invested on which we must get
a fair return. Then we have a
huge club pay roll. On top of
that we have taxes. Then there
are tremendous railroad and
hotel bills. Beyond that we
have the added burden of farm
clubs which, although they may
lose money, are necessary for the
development Of major league
talent.
Then there is the cost of
new players and not all of them
are Grade-A investments. We
spend thousands on scouting, on
insurance, on repairs, uniforms,
and what-not. The total is really
staggering.
And, on top of all this, we
always run the risk of having
a bad year when we can easily
lose in one season what we
could normally earn in two or
three good seasons.
why, come to think of it,
we probably spent more on our
Jersey City minor league club
this year than one or two major
league clubs I might mention
spent on their big league outfits.
Eyes, you may safely say that
running major league ball
club is one of the biggest CANDLES
on earth"

WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL
SECURITY

Q. 143 The personnel records of
my establishment show an employe
by the name of William Smith, but
he has a Social Security account
number under the name of Bill
Smith. Which name should l use In
making reports uuder the Social
Security Act?
A. 143 II your employees ac-
count number shows his name as
bill Smith" then your reports
should show his name as bill
Smith" instead of William Smith.
@. 144 One of my employees
has two or three Social SECURITY ac-
count numbers. So far, have always
reported him under the same num-
Der, but l understand he should have
but one number. Just what should
he do with the extra ones?
A. 144 Each of your employees
should have only one Social Security
account number. Possession of NOR
than one account number is not in
the best interest of the employee.
Seek to have your employee turn in
to the nearnest Social Security Field
Office for cancellation all but one ac-
count number card. On the
back of each card turned in for can
collation. there should be written
plainly and accurately the number
of the account card retained by the
employee.
@. las Does the amount work
er will get in unemployment compen-
sation payments depend on the per-
sons wages?

which will be made to an eligible

ployment compensation law will de-
pend ON the amount of his weekly
wage, the period for which he has
been employed and other factors
Ask the State Unemployment Com
pensation Commission for full in
formation.
@. 146 Will everyone who losses
his job get unemployment compen-
sation?
A. 146 No. Unemployment com
pensation will be paid only to those
unemployed workers who register
for employment and who otherwise
qualify under the State unemploy-
ment compensation law. Payment of
unemployment compensation has be-
gun in all the States in this Region
which are Maryland, District of
Columbia, North Carolina, Virginia
and West Virginia, and in many
other States, and each worker should
inform himself about the provisions
of his State law.
@. LAT My husband has just
died. He was employed in canning
factory. What steps are necessary
to procure the benefits due me?
A. lat You should file a formal
claim on prescribed forms with the
nearest Social Security Board Field
Office, where every assistance will
be given you in filling in the forms.
The benefit is in the form of a lump
sum payment Of 8 " per cent of the
wages earned since January 1, 1887.
Similar payments are made to in
dividuals who have been employed
in covered occupations since Janu-
ary l, 1887. and who have since
reached the age of IS years.
