Delehar1ty and Ldjoie

To show how far baseball salaries
have advanced, you need only to
look back to Napoleon Lajoie and
Ed Delehanty.
Around 1908, this pair were the
greatest hitters of their time. Both
were in the 400 bracket, and both
were also sluggers. Delehanty still
holds the all-time record with Bobby
Lowe, when he hit for II bases in
a game-four home runs and sin
gle. Lou Gehrig almost wrecked
them both when he had four home
runs in Philadelphia-and mighty
wallop that came close to being a
fifth home run-or at least three
base hit-in his fifth time at bat.
That year Delehanty asked for
$4,000 year and Lajoie for $4,000.
The Phillies gave Delehanty his
$1,000, but Lajoie was turned down
on his $500 offer.
So Larry promptly jumped to
Cleveland in the American league,
where Charlie Somers offered him
$4,000.
This started an inter-league and a
legal war. Lajoie was barred from
playing in Pennsylvania, which
meant Philadelphia.
He slipped through Pennsylvania
once where, according to Charlie
Dryden, he travelled on a fruit
steamer disguised as bunch of ba-
nanaS.
Anyway, Philadelphia lost one of
the greatest ball players of all time
- Napoleon Lajoie - because the
Phillies wouldn't give him $4,000 a
year.
The Ne1U PhilIies
The Phillies for 40 years have
pulled more boners than all other
clubs thrown together.
They have set worlds record for
ineffciency in one of the best sport
ing cities this country knows.
Philadelphia is one of our top
sporting centers-baseball, football,
boxing or the rest of it.
But certainly, as far as the Phil
lies are concerned, Philadelphia has
run into horrible deal.
Philadelphia has known more tail
enders, even including the Athletics,
than any two cities I happen to re-
member.
But Connie has won ten pennants.
The Phillies have won one.
Philadelphia has too fine a sport
ing tradition to be known as the Sub
way Capitol or the Cellar Kingdom.
If Bill Cox can only prove that he
is out to give Philadelphia the best
team available, an improving ball
club, he will set one of the an-time
records.
The Phillies have long way to
go. Just average methods won't help.
