GANDIL NOT COSTLY.
Washington's Crack First Sacker Ha
Proved He Is Worth 110,000.
A bail pluyer who can make good for
a major league club is cheap at any
price. It sounds llke-sn outlay of a
small fortune to pay $10,000 for a
player, and yet the price amounts to
nothing if the player makes good.
Chick Gandil, for whom Washington
paid a small fortune, has proved him-
i Mlf a man for the very good
'go,, thnt he has proved himself to
one of tne bttt flrgt baemen In the
t Amer)cnn league.' Of course buying
players from minor leagues Is a gam
We for they do not makt good, but
when s club u fortunate enough to
Ick up a gUr for yeari ot
experlmCiitlng and the spending of

; After watching Gandil play to fast
'couipnny for a couple of months on
really wonders that be was auowea to
stay In a minor league so long. He Is a
player who has yet to show a weak
netis. There TBpnenrs to be nothing
that he ennnot do, and do It well.
