Speaking of Sport The salaries paid to players in the Americau Rasketball League. have always-been a much meoted subject of argument. Lately through the offices of an interested court fan, w have been able to get mome dope on just what the players in the Ameri- Leagues arvopaid for the services. Nat Holman of the Hakoahs of New York, former star of the Cel- tics, draws doan $2,000 a month according to the contract he signed at the opening of the season. Hc is _the highest paid man in the! game today. It is sajd that his salary will aggregate $13,500 for the year, Three_other members of the Cel- tig team are playing with the Clev land quintet. They were each given & bonus of $500 for signing lheir +contracts while they are listed on the pay roll far $2,200 a month for & scason of four months. ; | Davey Banks, diminutive star of the former Celtics, is playing with the Hakoahs as a partner of Hol- man at a salary of $1,200 per month | but the season for him will run five { months, | Johnny Reckman, now with Rochester, draws down a salary of $1,100 a month for four monthw The ‘Rochester manager claims that | he s getting the better of the bar- £ain so well has Beckman been go- Jing during the preesnt year. Benny Borgeman of Paterson, N. J.. is next on the liet, He received a stipulated salary of $1,000 a rionth while “Rusty” Saunders of the same club, reccives the same ray. H McElwain, who starred with the New Britain team this season before . he returned to Fort Wayne, is a re- serve man on the club, but he is receiving a salary of $900 for warming the beneh, Manager Lan- pher could hardly compete with this, Joe Brennan, Brooklyn Visitation | star, is drawing down a salary of $800 a month. Nat Hickey and Money Russell of icago are draw- ing this amount also. Al Kellet, center for the Trenton Bengals, gets $750 a month for the season while there arc many play- ers drawing down sums ranging from $500 to $700 per month. Recause of the fact that the race this ycar for the championship of the American League is the hottest in years, the various clubs are ex. perien®ing * a wave of prosperity. Yort Wayne, Chicago, Cleveland and Rochester arc showing big profits while she RBrooklyn Visita- tions are little ljetter than even. New York, Paterson and Trenton show slight losses for first half of the season. The largest crowd on record at n game this year was registered at a gams in Cleveland last December, ‘There were 9,000 fans at the game between the Hakoahs and Cleveland. ‘The record crowd at Chicago was £.000; at lort Wayne, 4.500; at 1tochester, 4,000; at Paterson, 2.500; #t Brooklyn where the Visitations play, 2,400; at Trenton, 2,300 and at the Hakoahs, 1,600. This little account gives the fans of this city a very good idea of the expense connected with a basketbhall feam in the American League. Al- though the game is run on a much &maller scale in this city, New Drit- ain is classified as an A No. 1 bas- Ketball center by all of those who have played here. Young Mlssnonary Freed by Bandits Philadelphia, Feb. 1 M — Rewv Edward Young, American mission- ary, who was kidnapped on January 22 by Chinese bandits and held for ransom, has been rcleased and is safe and well, This information was contained in a cablegram reccived last night by the Very Rev. 8.

Piercy, who was not able fo start all last season hecause of an infection which attacked him, in the heel, |iai reported that the foot was so much better than he now could walk an- | cven run on it. He believed it would | cven cause him no trouble this year, 1 so. this husky, who like most of his mates, grew up to his present | heroic proportions on the sidewalis ot New York. will fit in nicely at | Kerrigan's geat “in the powerhouse” | at No. 6.
