Baseball Fans Side With Cobb
q o e © o © .©
Many Clubs Would Pay $ 15,000
Dropping all the pesifiago that in
fests both sides of the Ty ( 'obb argu
ment, there are only two practical
questions that concern us outsider**:
1. Is the Gem of Georgia worth
$15,000 a year to the Detroit Baseball
Club?
2. If Cobb is not worth $15,000 a
year to Detroit, is it fair to Cobb or
to the “fans” to prevent him from
playina where he may be worth $15,-
000?
There is a bunch of other questions
hanging upon the above—such as ‘the
future of organized baseball,” the
hazardous' returns on baseball invest
ments, the manner in which Cobb and
Navin handled their respective sides
of the argument, etc.—but these ques
tions are of no real practical concern
to the public You can’t get the “fans”
heated up about any of these side
arguments. The meat of it. to them,
is served up above in two chunks.

VICTOR MUNOZ WOULD
FORM CUBAN BALL LEAGUE
L (,S ANGELES. CAL.. April 25.—
Victor Munoz, the Havana base
ball writer, is behind a movement
to form a Cuban baseball league,
composed of three teams in Havana
and others In Matanzas. Clenfuegos
and Santiago. He says that the
came has not advanced far enough
yet for the idea to be popular, out
that in a few years' time he wi.l
have suclt a league play on the is
land every winter.
LORD TO LEAD BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE. MIL April. 25. --Jack
has
fter
I Dunn, of the Baltimore team,
decided to hare A field captain
fall ; ,nd Briscoe Lord will get the
| appointment.
Here if a sample: The writer met
a rich old “fan” recently—the old-
fashioned vested interests “bug,” who
is a foe to the organization of em
ployees for any purpose whatever. He
looked like the right kind of a man
to approach for an anti-Cobb argu
ment. This is what he said:
An outrage—an outrage, sir! I
go to the ball game every pleasant
afternoon. It’s my recreation. I
pay a good dollar almost every
day to sol- baseball. There are
thousands more like me We are
entitled to the best baseball there
is. in return for our money. It
is up to those fellows (the mag
nates) to give us the best there is.
They can afford it. Why. look at
that crowd! (He pointed to 7,000
“fads.”) Thai* paid about $4,000
to see thi« game. If they gave Ty
Cobb $15,00,0 a year it would
amount to about $100 a game.
If we pay $4,000 to see a ball
game—wnich is a moderate day
at most big parks—$100 a game
is little enough to pay a f' ver
who gives us the run for our
money we get from Cobb. That
is, if they can’t get Cobb for less.
I know some of the baseball sal
aries are mighty good money for
the time ppent in the game. But
what’s that to me? I only pay
five times as miich to see opera as
to see a ball game, and they think
nothing of paying from $1,000 to
$3,000 a performance to an ar
tist who is as great a star in opera
as Cobb is in baseball. No, sir!
We want what we pay for. It’s
a fhamp to keep a fellow like
Cobb from playing baseball.
Is Basebail Slavery?
On the other hand, a working man
who holds just the opposite economic
views was tackled. He opined:
Those baseball players are the
worst kind of victims of wage
slavery. They have to toe the
mark for their employers, and
take what the bofs gives them,
or quit playing altogether, it’s
slavery. They're bought and sold
like so many catle.
T know they get good money for
the time they spend and the
amount of actual work they do.
But it's the principle of the thing
that’s at stake—the right to sell
your labor where and when von
please, and for what you can get.
It’s the skill with which they
do it that gets them the good
salaries.
Only a few at the top. in base
ball. comparatively, are good
enough to get the good jobs with
the best paying clubs. And they
only last a few years.
Yes, §15,000 a year—or $100 a
game—is a lot of money for a fel
low who gives up only four hours
a day six months in a year to the
game. But what of it? How about
the doctor whose skill get*’ him
$1,000 for an operation that takes
but fifteen minutes? He didn’t
spend any more time learning
how to perforin that operation
than the baseball player did in
learning how to play the game
skillfully enough to become a big
league star. And he lasts longer
than the star.
And if it weren't for fellows like
Cobb you wouldn’t see those
jammed grandstands and the
magnates wouldn’t be taking for
tunes in at the gates. The players
are all there is to the game, and
they're entitled to a fair share
of the profits and to work for
whom they please.
The Middle-of-the-Road “Fan.”
Then there is the half-way-between
••fan”—the fellow who isn't worried
tine way or the other about other
people's business or abstract econo
mic problems. Here’s what one of
them .-aid:
What's it to me V if Cobb pulls

Diamond News and Gossip

the money in at the gate they
ought to pay him for it, oughtn't
they? I’m blamed sure nobody
goes to see ball games because
so-and-so happens to own the
team. No, they go to see rous
ing baseball—the kind that keeps
you excited.
If Detroit can't make enough
off Cobb to afford to pay him
$15,000 a year, and some other
city can. let him go to the other
city. If none of the magnates
can afford to pay such a salary
and imke a good profit, then let
’em pay him less, and if he isn’t
satisfied with that, let him go to
—well, wherever he prefers to go.
That’s all 1 care about it.
Barring influences “higher up.” it
is *afe to say that there are at least
four clubs, and probably more, that
would be gl ul of the opportunity to
hire Ty Cobb at $15,000 a year—re
gardless of what the owners of these
clubs might say publicly on tht; ques
tion at this time. These clubs are:
Boston Americans.
Chicago Americans,
New York Americans.
New York Nationals.
It is likely that two or three oth
ers would slip in a bid at those fig
ures if (’obb were a “free agent.”
Magnates Want the Cobbs.
A magnate heavily interested in
one of these clubs was asked what
he thought of tlm Cobb proposition,
and whether he would like to engage
Cobb. He declared, emphatically:
Would I? Well, you give me a
chance and see. Would Cobb
make trouble for me and my
team by his erratic ways and his
influence on the team? I don’t
care. I’d take a. long chance on
that. But whether Cobb gets
$15,000 a year is a question be
tween him and tile Detroit Club, j
solely, as it stands.
It is a good guess that any one of
the clubs that could and would take
('obb at a record salary would be
willing to give Detroit in exchange
enough valuable players to materially
strengthen Jennings’ ball team. But
the Detroit magnates are loth to sell
or trade Cobb for fear of the effect
it would have on the Detroit baaebal’
public.
What the “Fans” Want.
It is a good guess that whil^ most
•’fans” appreciate the benefits of
baseball so organized as to assure
good contests, they are willing to let
the magnate* wrestle with that fea
ture of it. About the only practical
concern most of them have in the
game is, first, they \Vaint the best
baseball that can be produced, play
ed by the best players obtainable,
and, second, they want the magnates
to pay whatever they have to, in or
der to give them that kind of sport.
Concerning C*>bb in particular,
most of them seem to be willing to
admit that whether Navin can afford
to pay Cobb $15,000 is a question for
Navin to decide, but if he can’t, then
(’obb ought to be allowed to play in
some city that. CAN afford to pay
him that sum.
Cobb is certainly a good enough
drawing card to return a big profit
on $15,000 a year in several cities,
his personal eccentricities to the con
trary notwithstanding. And the
“fans” want to see ail the Cobbs
that can be produced right out there
on the diamond. You can’t bring
’em on fast enough to auit the base
ball ‘‘bugs.’’

A S nearly as we can make out
from the comments of the base

these gentlemen are better money-

was about to be frozen out of ins -

of f ins go to the ball Darks of eight
cities every summer to see him play,
the method by which this was brought

the same fashion ns the National
Cash Register Company’s officers
showed prospective creditors the
“boneyard,” filled with the remains
of others who tried to fight them, the
heads of organized baseball can point
to the long trail of wrecked leagues
that have tried to play independent
baseball in the United States.
Baseball is no longer a sport. No
one thinks it is a sport but the fan
who pays his money to see good ball
playing, and be has to see juK the
kind of ball playing that the bosses
of the trust see fit to give him or
slay away. It is a purely commercial
proposition, organized and conducted
for the sole purpose of making as
much and as quickly as possible.
Do you suppose it is an accident
that McGraw is able to buy nearly
any ball player he fancies, or merely
because he can afford to pay more?
Well, it isn't. It is to the interest
of both leagues to have a winning
club in Now York. Then they can
all make more money. How do you
suppose Frank Chance got out of
the National League? Do you think
no one wanted the man who had won
three world’s championships? Think
everybody in the National League
thought he whs done? You can bet
—but not inside a ball park that
they didn’t. Yet seven club owners
in the National League waived on
Chance or lie could not have gone

The heads of the organization cay
that they will be glad to have an in

ably be even more glad and the pub
lic ought to be tickled to death. Th •
right of contract in the case of the
ball player has been utterly suspend
ed You don’t have to go any further
than that to get a line on what an
investigation would show. Of course
he doesn’t have to sign unless he
wants to. Danglars in the bandits’
cave didn’t have to pay the $20,quo
for a meal that the bandit*' charged
him. All he had to do was quit eat

TEAM TO-DAT
“T 1 HE reserve clause in players’
1 on tracts,” said President Lvnch,
of the National League, “is the foun
dation of baseball.” Now. that just
shows how a false impression will
gain ground. Here for a quarter of
a cintury the American public ha rj
been going along in the blind belief
that skill, sportsmanship and pluck
were the foundations of baseball. But
Mr Lynch means that the reserve
clause is the foundation of the base
ball monopoly.
