Speaking of Sports —_— | The question of how professional basketball compares with baseball with regard to salaries paid, is onc that is often mulled over by basiset- ball fans. Wa The answer is that the top-notch Mu court performer gets about as much per season as the major league base- ball players of fair ability. The court performers get something like $1,- 800 a month. As the basketball sea- son, including preliminary training, covers four and a half months, the big shots of the American Pro lcague cash in to the tune of $7,500. V. Besides basketball year free money or pations. getting this monecy, the players have most of the in which to spend this to engage in other occu- Wil Take the members of the World Champion Cleveland Rosenblums.

This crew cleaned up about everything in sight. “Pat” Rose has been released by the Springfield team of the Eastern Bascball league. He tried out for an outficld position and was the last of the rookies to be released. Rose impressed the owners of the Springfield team and is to be given a tryout with some nine in the New England league. “Pat” is determined to capture a steady position and is not discouraged over his failure with the Ponies.

An even fifty games involving teams from each major league have| been played so far and twenty-seven of them have gone to National league clubs. The American has won twenty-two and, one was tied. The Braves have accounted for ten of the National league's victor- ies, five over the New York Yan- kees and five over the world's cham- plon Philadelphia Athletics. Boston and Cincinnati arc the only other clubs with better than an even break against teams from the rival circuit.
