MONEY TO SALARIED MEN awful rates ro«t!*s° Ry notes loot Endorsement it Collateral Security . Keel Estate Security a DISCOUNT CO. Fourth National Bank Bids. By W. J. McBeth. N EW YORK, Aug. 80.—Organized baseball seems to be on the verge of losing its last vestige of sport for sport's sake. The commer cial end of the enterprise overshad ows all else. The magnates are oat for the money and make no bones of the fact. The lust for gold Is as deeply rooted in the minor leagues as in the major organizations. The two big circuits depend upon patronage for financial gains. Be cause of this it is necessary for them to secure the very best talent to dis play before the public. Thousands upon thousands < # dollars are ex pended every season by each club in the National and American Leagues for the sole purpose of fortifying the future. Every club owner has sev eral highly paid scouts beating all around the country in search of like ly looking “bush" timber. Some have as many as six sleuths under salary. Besides these, there is a grand army of amateur sharps who do business on a commission basis. This poiicy of near extravagance is all well enough for first division aggrega tions. But it is a serious drain upon the pocketbook of the unfortunate holders of second division franchisee.. • * • B ECAUSE at their weakness sec ond division clubs In the major leagues call for the greatest expen ditures. This makes their lot all the more severe. The money Is put tip on a pure gamble, because a club away down In the race Is lucky to make Interest on Investment. The leading teams which might well af ford to speculate In talent have not the same crying need to do so. But those leaders usually string along in a sort of "dog in the manger" fash ion and often corral most promising talent which they can not possibly flee, Just to keep It away from some lowly rival that might utilize It to the disadvantage of the strong. T HE hold of commercialism on the national pastime has been forci bly Illustrated time and time again, but never more strongly than in the American League this present cam paign. Frank Chance could not get any assistance from his colleagues, many of whom had bench warmers who'would have been of the greatest assistance to New York. It took him a couple of months to secure Short stop Pecktnpaugh from Cleveland. Birmingham had no use for this plaver. He wished to turn him back to Toledo, the farm of the Naps. When Chance's outfield was perform ing in a most pitiful manner, Connie Mack was carrying six gardeners, any of them superior to the best the Peerless Leader could show. • * • T HERE vu a time when the major leagues, by Juggling the market, could maintain a self-supporting re cruiting institution. Undesirable tal ent snatched from th e "brush” could be turned back at a profit. But that time Is past. The minors—former p re y—have become the close-fisted bargain drivers. "If you desire our good men you must pay dearly enough for the castoffs.” The minor leagues depend to a very great extent ■ upon the sale of players for self- I maintenance and can not be blamed 1 for getting back at the big fallows on every possible occasion. Major league magnates, who display cold indifference among themselves, de serve no pity when minor league pro moters put on the screws. • * * *t»HE major leagues themselves are 1 responsible for most of the pres ent day commercialism of the game. Always has their attitude been the most exacting and the most grasp ing. As this sport has gradually be come more and more of a show busi ness. the methods of show have at tached themselveta. The power of publicity has appealed to the club owners, who now take every means of boosting their own game through press agent stuff. Ever since the two big leagues went to war salaries have maintained the high standard that the fight established. But the magnates in any announcements have never failed to exaggerate the remu neration of a star. * * • ’"THERE were “newspaper” salaries * of $10,000 in the big leagues years ago when an athlete involved would have shaken hands with himself for receiving half the sum. And there are reputed salaries to-day which, if the truth were known, would shrink considerably In the wash of straight fact. But there are instances where the magnate has had to toe the mark and come across with the big money. Ty Cobh, of the Tigers, Is one. He Is the highest paid athlete of the game. Bonuses will bring his stipend this year to fully $15,000. He might have been contented with half the sum 1f the magnates themselves had not educated the public and the play ers to the value of publicity. Cobb was in a dictatorial position. He knew that the Detroit management might as well lock up its park as to allow him to Idle, while the once great Ti ger machine was on the toboggan. • •' • T N kindred fashion the promoters A have injured their own cause by taking in stage money. The late John T. Brush set the fashion by pay ing an alleged $11,000 for “Rube” Marquard. There followed another “alleged" bit of extravagance on the part of Barney Dreyfuss when Rt. Paul accepted $22,500 for Martv O’Toole. O’Toole perhaps did not cost more than a third of his reputed sale price, but the record figures made good reading throughout the country —-and a big drawing card for Pitta- burg. Other clubs saw the advant age. Playefs that formerly could he had at modest figures soon began to arrive in fast company, heralded as “record” purchases. For a while the minor leaguers . smiled up their sleeves. Then they gradually began to take advantage of this mania for publicity and boosted the figures steadily. JOHNNY C0UL0N OFFERED BOUT WITH EDDIE CAMPI LOS ANGELES. CAL., Aug. 30.— Promoter McCarey wired Johnny Ooulon to-day offering the bantam champion a guarantee of $3,000 and two round trip tickets to come hen. and box Eddie Campl In October. Campi already has accepted terms and the promoter is confident the champion will consent to meet the Sian Francisco boy. The Sunday American herewith presents, in pictures, to the baseball public for the first time the “tip-off” of Matty’s “fadeaway,” the delivery made famous by the Giants’ pitching star and which made "Big Six” famous. These pictures were posed by Mathewson especially for The Sunday American. Whenever you see Matty preparing to pitch, as in the picture at the extreme Jeft ; then you will know that the 01 j Master is about to deliver his “fadeaway,” the most mystifying delivery in the pitching category. It Is the characteristic posture of baseball’s idol. The other pictures show Matty going through his motions in shooting the “fadeaway” over the plate. Cool England Refuses to Send Stellar Sprinter Governing Body Refuses W. R. Apple- garth Permission to Make Tour of America. Thorpe Drops NEW YORK, Aug. 80.—Word reached A. A. U. headquarters here yesterday that W. R. Applegarth, the record-breaking English sprinter, had been refused permission to visit the United States by the governing body in England. It was a typical turn down of the Amateur Athletic Asso ciation, for the sprinter was not in formed why he was not allowed to make the trip to America. Applegarth was very anxious to come here for a tour, as he possessed the idea that there was some virtue in the American tracks and that the American atmosphere made a sprinter run exceptionally fast. He believed if he had a few weeks' training here he could beat all records from 100 to 300 yards. When the sprinter applied to the home association for the permit to appear here, he produced an invita tion from James E. Sullivan, secre tary-treasurer of the A. A. U. When asked why Applegarth wos not allowed to come, an officer of the Amateur Athletic Association said it was rather strange that Applegarth could find the time to go to America, yet he refused to accompany the Eng lish team to South Africa on the plea that he could not find the time. Out of Limelight © 0 © © McGraw Keeps Indian on Bench W i T THAT a difference Just & few hours make!” ”It seems Just a few hours ago, too, that Jim Thorpe, the big Indian, was in the limelight in Stockholm’s beautiful stadium, win ning victory after victory in the Olympic pentathlon and decathlon series. Hardly had the Bac and Fox tribe brave completed his double triumph by winning the l,600*meter event in the decathlon than he be came the most-talked-of athlete in all the world. The biggest men in Sweden sought his company, and King Gustav himself shook hands with Jim at the ceremonies attending the presentation of the Olympic prizes, and afterward sent him a summons to appear In the royal presence. Times Have Changed. Hardly had the applause at the Olympiad ceased when it was taken up in France, w’here Thorp* appeared at a couple of meets before sailing for home. His arrival in this country was the signal for the adulation to spread over America like wildfire, and Thorpe's athletic reputation was again greatly enhanced later in the fall by his wonderful playing on the football field. Every expert that wrote of the great gridiron game last fall pictured Thorpe as the greatest football player i of the year, If not of all time, and from this opinion there was no dis senting voice. And now what picture does Thorpe present? Why, he's out of the lime light sitting w r ay back in the shadow of the players’ bench. The same bronzed face that grinned at the huz zas of thousands last summer is deep in study to-day, wearing a nettled, puzzled expression. The same nar row-slit eyes that followed the grace ful flight of the discus and the Javelin, or picked with perfection the take-off spot in the broad jump last summer, is now closely watching the real big leaguers day In and day out. His chances to perform come few and far between. Still Has a Future. And yet Is the shadow that holds Jim Thorpe in its folds without its silver lining? Many say decidedly no! The great Carlisle brav© has every thing in his favor. He Is young and strong and possesses the greatest all round athletic ability ever seen in one human body, and besides he's getting good money for warming the bench. Thorpe has learned to play other games in a fortnight’s time. Then why can not he learn the baseball line in a couple of years under McGraw? When Jim went to Stockholm last summer he knew nothing at all about throwing the Javelin. In fact. Law- son Robertson says that Thorpe was so green at this branch of athletics that he was trying to throw the spear from a seven-foot circle. And yet Jim Thorpe had been in Stockholm less than a week when he threw the javelin 151 feet and beat the Scandi navians—those who were in the pentathlon—at their own game. McGraw Teaching Him. Bench warming look* a lot wore© to the average spectator than It does to the aspiring young ball player, and the fact that John McGraw is paying particular attention to teaching Thorpe the fin© points of the game la doubtless encouragement for the great Indian athlete who is sitting in the shadow of the bench day In and day out while the Giants are making their fight for the pennant.
