N putting a price of $500 on his home run clouts, Babe Ruth and the Yankee club have set an interesting baseball precedent. They | have placed the game on a piece work | basis, which may in time result in a graduating scale of prices for every- thing connected with it. Of course the Ruth variety of swatting may be worth more than! any other kind, but the other players, ail business men, aren't likely to over- look the possibilities of the new era established by the coin-tossing Inct- dent at Hot Springs, Ark. In this Ruth won himself an annual retainer believed to be $50,000, with the extra * allotment of dollars for each bome run he makes, If a Ruth homer is worth $500, that | made by the ordinary player should have @ valuation of $200. Three bag: gers, doubles, and singles might be priced accordingly, The pitchers | might get together and attach a price to strike outs. Put outs, bases, stolen bases or balls and so on could with (>Yder, Smith and Rawlings Propriety be fisted in the dollar or cent column. There isn’t any reason, other players might figure, why Ruth should gather all the cream oozing out of the new system of paying baseball talent, OME RUN hits by Ruth last Season were sources of jubila- tion for Messrs, Ruppert and Huston. With them it was hats off and hurrah every time the Babe made the circuit of the bases. This season, with each of such incidents putting them back $500, there isn’t likely to be any great enjoyment in it. Good Sports as the two Colonels admittedly are, the spectacle of Ruth being nailed at the plate after a brave attempt to ecamper from first to home shouldn't make them mad. After all there is some consolation for the Yankee own- ers in the memory that the Babe, thanks to Judge Landis, can't begin separating them from $500 bills until May 20. HAT'S going to become of Playfellow, the $100,000 brother of the great race horse Man o' War? Last week a jury in Brooklyn decided that James John- son, who sold the colt to Harry F. Sinclair, must return the $100,000 the latter paid for him, on the ground that the horse wasn't everything a $100,- 000 racer should be. Mr. Johnson has decided to appeal the case, but mean- while the status of the horse is un- decided. Johnson may refuse to take the horse back, pending the appeal, and Sinclair may refuse to keep him. Plagfellow can't race while the case is in litigation, but he has to eat regu- | larly in the meantime The decision in the trial revolu- tionizing the horse selling business, Jeads to unending possibilities. If by the time the appeal from last week's decision is decided, Johnson must take the horse back, he may| bring another suit, the basis being, that Playfellow is no longer the $100,- 900 proposition rated him originally. He may not be worth $10,000 then. Certainly he will have passed the big money earning stage. This season the colt might have trained on, de- spite the wind-sucking allegations, to win many purses in the handicap di- vision | waiting for THE EVENI + lent. eh nat ene nag NG WORLD, TUESDAY, MAROH 7, 1922, ANT HOL DOUTS ARE CASH REGISTER BASEBALL Copyrieht. 1922 (The New York Evening \S HAN START AN EPIDENIC - ER INSTANCE @ase MUTH 15 TO RECEIVE aA Bows OF BsO0 FoR EVERY HOME RUN A BONUS CLAUSE INSERTED THE PREMER HAY HAVE UICKLY B Q ROUGHT INTO LINE, -) World) by the Press Publishing Co, } THE FIELDERS WILL (NSIST™ ON, COMPENSATION FoR NAILING RUES Bancroft Wanted $12,500, As Much as Frisch Gets, | And Now He’s Satisfied By Neal R. | Eea: a _ | —s }ter, and on his arrival he declared does ubout the bonus isn't one of them.
