Pittsburg's Salary Lift Reported to Be
Around $75,000, Whila Philadelphia
Athletics' . Pay List Is Said to Be
$35,000.. :
, The statement recently that a salary
of but $4,500 was btlng paid annually
to Johnny Kllng, the Chicago Nation
als', star catcher, cume as a big sur
prise to the baseball fans. It was pop
ularly believed that the clever' back
stop was drawing a much larger sti
pend for his work. - During a recent
fanfest among . the Pittsburg players
Borne interesting facts came out con
cerning baseball salaries In general '
. Wagner's salary, for example, is a
matter of guesswork purely, to all ex
cept Pittsburg club officials,' the Fly
ing Dutchman and possibly one or two
others, who- have been told .in strict
confidence. He . is 1 supposed to be
nil iwlM la th" hi ft host onlnrlarf
man in baseball, but the wages he Is
paid 'for clouting, base running and
spreading his giant frame over several
acres of territory for the Pirates has
undoubtedly , been overestimated by
many persons who profess to have in
side Information on the subject It
has been put as high as $3,000 a year
by some gnessers, and very few per
sons think be is getting less than
$10,000. . One of the few, however, is
a prominent member of the Pittsburg
club. ; . ' ' " '
"I do not say that Bonus Isn't worth
that price. lie is worth even more,
considering bis playing ability and his
value to the club from a . box office
point of. view. But baseball is a
business proposition, and $10,000 is an
enormous amount to give to any player
for a few, months' work. . They will
have to show me before they can con
vince me that Ilonus is drawing that
much. He may be getting it, but he
Is not getting more."
Several of the players suggested that
the big Teuton ought to be getting a
percentage of the gate receipts. Then
the salary subject took a wide range,
and the same player who is quoted
above declared that In his opinion
every member of the Pirates who fig
ured to any extent in the winning of
the National league pennant and the
world's championship received an ad
vance In salary for this year. He be
lieved that "Dots" Miller's contract
calls for more than twice as much as
he received last year and that all the
regnlar players were advanced. ,
"It aeems to be the policy of the
club," he said, "to lend substantial en
couragement to brains, ability and
willingness, and it is to that fact com
bined with the very able leadership of
Fred Clarke, that yon can credit that
ideal club spirit that prevails among
the Buccaneers. I'll venture to say
that the Pittsburg club paid out $73,
000 in salaries last summer and that
no other club paid as much. I have
been told, and I believe it to be true,
that the salary list of the Philadelphia
Americans for the season of 1909
amounted to only $33,000, making a
difference of $40,000 in the money paid
out to players by two major league
clubs, now , Connie Mack can pay
such small salaries and manage to
keep his club up in the race la some
tbifig l cannot understand."

I z.r4 mnr.H or rae uucs wcra also
discussed, and it was agreed among
the players that the average and the
total of the. Pirates are much larger.
Chance, they 'understand, signed a
three year contract as manager of the
team at a figure under $8,000, and
Ellng and Brown are the only mem
bers of the team1 receiving anything
like $5,000. Reulbach is said to be
.pitching for $3,500. Lajole is said to
have received $9,000 a year from
Cleveland, of . which. $2,000 was for
managing the club. Many other star
plavcrs were mentioned and their real
and paper salaries given. .
Of course It is possible that the Pi
rate players who gave the information
on the subject may be mistaken, but
It must be admitted that they are in
a position to learn the actual facts bet
ter than the newspapers. It was gen
erally agreed among them that the
public shas an erroneous Idea about
fancy salaries paid to players. Connie
Mack, even in war days, Is said to
have averaged only $3,000 to his play
ers. ; ' '-: ".'
While the public may be wrong In
its beliefs, the fact remains that any
player which delivers the goods in fast
company gets enough money for it to
keep the wolf from the door during
the winter, and most of them earn
several times as much as they could
take down in any other trade or occu
pation for which they are fitted.
