- HCAGO, Feb. L. Master
Robert Feller is about to be
compensated to the amount
- of $l7,500 for pitching base
balls on behalf of the Cleveland In
dams. That, I believe, is a record
wage for any minor except those pre-
cocious juveniles engaged in the
cinema arts. It certainly is tremend-
ous money for 19-year-old boy less
than two fiscal years off an Iowa farm.
Still and all. Master Feller is worthy
Of his hire. The Cleveland club made
more money last season than any time
in years and it was my observation,
when laboring in the Ohio city. that
It's fourth-place teams seldom showed
any figures on the black side of the
ledger. The Indians drew 81 900 Gus
toners on the final day Of the season
with Master Feller pitching, so it must
have been the Iowa boy who mag
netized the money into Mr.. Alva Brad

Will Take Regular Turn.

IF THE Cleveland club made money
with Master Feller's hors de COM
bat for q good share of the season, you
can imagine its take with the young
blizzard working in regular turn. And
regular turn will be Feller's schedule,
according to Oscar o. Witt, the new
Cleveland manager, who says the idea
Of saving Robert as Sunday and holi-
day attraction is out.
Master Feller will draw more money
than any Cleveland player since the
time when Iris Speaker doubled as
manager and center fielder. As
sophomore, he will be paid more than
most of the great pitchers in the his
tory of the game. You can name those
who topped his current salary without
running short Of fingers. To list few
Of the very few. there were, or
are, Dizzy Dean. Bob Grove, Vernon
Gomez, Carl Hubbell and-and who
else?
Ed Walsh, who once captured 40
games in season for the White Sox.
never approached that salary, nor did
Joe McGlnnity, Jack Coombs, Chief
Bender, Three Finger" Brown and a
lot Of others who won many more
games than Master Feller has yet de-
livered. Those fellows pitched at the
wrong time
Might Draw Quarter Million.
Ell Feller get off to a good start
this spring. and he will be the
greatest individual drawing attraction
in baseball. Send him against Lefty
Gomez or Schoolboy Rowe or Lefty
Grove. and the $1,000 capacity of
Cleveland Municipal Stadium will be
taxed to the breaking point. He will
be an almost equal attraction in every
American League park, and if the kid
can win 20 or more games he will be
worth a quarter of a million dollars
at the gate.
Feller, OF course, must live up to his
promise, but every American League
manager and old baseball man with
whom have talked says the kid can't
1ail. That he failed last season was
not his fault. and. with his arm whole
and under smarter management, he
should be the sensation of the season.
Oscar Witt won't kill the boy off in
spring exhibition games, and it's my
guess. this January day, that he will
win % games for Cleveland, although
1t has no great ball team.
Iris Speaker says the boy should
win IS games, but I'll settle on %. If
Feller can win % he can take a lot
OF speed out of the Yankees dash for
their third consecutive championship.
Seventeen thousand five hundred is a
lot OF money to pay a major league
sophomore, but you may have noticed
that the Cleveland club did not argue
over the price Feller placed on his arm.

of that year and picked UP his ball
with a chilling remark about the golf
course. Bob later learned to love it
and often has alluded to 1t as his
favorite course. In those years Jones
was the feadlined performer, the hoy
wonder" of the game. Everything he
did he did in the calcium. glare. and
so when he Withdrew from the tourney
he looked like sucker. That Just flts
the Snead case, too.
But how about Henry Cotton. the
British Open champ, who refused to
continue in a British tournament last
year because he didn't think his first
two rounds were good enough to enable
him to win first place? How about a
lot of other prominent linksmen who
have picked up when they were play
