NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS
By PERCY H. WHITING.
Tlu- fond parents who keep tli.-ir liny* nut of professional
baat-bnll these days are overlooking an elegant opportunity for a
tine safe ffnmhle.
The average hoy hasn't even nil live race ehancc in the world
of “professions.” There nre more lawyers than eases, more min
isters than ehnrehes, and “doetorinu” has been fiiianeinllv on the.
hlink for years. If the kid does not take up a prof.-anion he will
have to work for one of the trusts or no into the newspaper bitBi-
ness, and, with such terrible alternatives Marini;him in-ilio-fuco,
his plight is n snrmwfni one.
It is so hard these Hava to lie honest and make it pay that a
Imy who ean play hasehnll has a tine chnnee to enter on a eureer
which is pleasant und profitable—and honeat.
Time was when n pitifully amall number of men with educa
tion nnd breeding played baseball.
When baseball was put on a good financial basis the big sal
aries begun to nttrnet a better .-lass of men than in tlu* old days,
and now the hard-drinking, illiterate, rowdy bull player is the
exception. *

FINE SHOOTS

AND HA8 UNFINISHED

run of 115 Mnl* over the Atlanta <lun

the run with four more target* Mon-
day afternoon. Riving him 119 straight.
on Tuesday Mr. Freeman made 98
out of 100 birds und had un unfinish
ed run of f-7 when the turgid* gave out
and he had to retire. This run will be
continued Wednesday afternoon.
Mr. Freeman, who I* traveling for
the Western Ammunition Fonipuny,

Thnt the game may be made financially profitable ean read
ily he judged by the anlnries paid to the big moguls.
Larry Lajoie, for example, is supposed to have his name
signed to a three-year contract which .-alls for a payment of
sfclo.OOO in that time. Clark lirififith. of the New York Americana,
is not getting much less, nor ia Fred Clarke, .»f I’ittsburg. Ches-
hro draws a nalnry which nets him about ifcJOO fur every game he
pitchca, und so it goes among the best in the big leagues.
But in the minor longues the players manage t<. pay expenses.
In the Southern League, for example, no salary is less than $100
a month, mid some of them run up to #400 a month, nnd, of
course, all traveling nnd hotel expenses when the team is on the
road, which is half the time.
