Arthur Kruger
Dies, Teommote
OfHonus Wagner

ST. LOUIS, Feb -2l (AP).-
Arthur w. Kruger, IS, an in
fielder for the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates when they represented
the National League in the
first World Series in 1908, died
yesterday in a hospital here.
Kruger was born in Chicago
in 1875, the same year the Ma
tional League was organized.
He also was believed to have
been the oldest former member
Of the Cardinals.
The little infielder, who
never earned as much as So, 900
in q season, came to the Card
inals with the franchise when
the old Cleveland Spiders
transferred to st. Louis in 1900.
KfNeger earned q $1,400 Gu:
OF the series money in 1903 as
the Pirates bowed to the Red
Sox, but he didn't get into a
game. He had been hospitalized
late in the season after being
hit with q pitch.
Kruger used to explain his
baseball salary, minute by
modern standards, really was
not SO bad. His friend. Honus
Wagner, and Cy Young, the
best pitcher I ever faced" were
paid only about $4,000. he said.
Kruger ended his career
with the Phillies in 1905 after
three years with the Cardinals
and two with Pittsburgh.

summer on America, stemming our criti-
cal outflow of gold with cool billion

time, some of the airlines have begun a
campaign to instruct foreign tourists on
what strange birds Americans are.
Trans World Airlines, for instance, is
working on a survey on the hazards of
trekking through darkest America.
They've asked scores of tourists who've
already braved the journey to list some
Of the strange native customs which
shocked, amazed, or amused them dur
ing their visit to the New World. The
airline plans to incorporate the list of
quaint Yankee customs into handy
travel pamphlet for east-to-west trans
atlantic passengers.

little brochure, we thought we would
pass on some of the warnings issued by
TWA to prepare foreigners for their
