SALARIES ARE DISCUSSED
Xf Kuf S Hits Beyond .300 and Buns
' ' Bases a la Cobb, and rields Good,
Ka Might Oat By.
By Frank G. Menke.
New YorTc. March 30. Beany Kauffs
position In baseball at this time Is one
that excites no envy. He must make
ood with a whoop in a Giant uniform
or he'll be tbe most scoffed at player
in the history of the pastime.
Kauf f has boasted so often and so
fluently, about hla prowess that even
a good allowing In 1918 will not save
him from "panning." He has led the
folks to believe that he's the greatest
player that ever hoofed onto a dla
mond and he must deliver.
If Kauff hits far beyond .300, runs
bases a la Cobb and fields with the
best in the same, he will be forgiven
for his egotism. But should be fail;
should he hit under .300 and be stopped
in moat of his pilfering attempts;
should he make errors now and then,
he'll become the target for the cat -calls
and hoots and hisses of tbe bleachers'
and the grandstands.
Kauff. by bis self-rung praise, haa
gambled with unpopularity a deeper
ate gamble.
Kauff Oeta $6000 Only.
The idea that Kauff is one of the
highest priced men in the game Is er
roneous. There are at' least 30 other
players in the majors who are draw
ing more money than the "Shrinking
Violet"
Kauff was the real star of the 3e
funct Federal circuit, yet his contract
called for only $6000 a year. There
were at least 15 players in the league
that were drawing salaries far in ex
cess of Kauffs.
And $6000 per year Is what the
Giants are going to pay, "Shrinking
Violet" during 1816 and 1917. No mat
ter if he hits for a million he won't
get any more than $6000. His con
tract is of an Ironclad nature.
Bonus Totalled $3600.
Kauffs full demands as to bonuses
were not granted. He asked $5000
from the Giant owners and an addi
tlonal $5000 from Harry Sinclair, who
old him to the New York club for
$35,000. He didn't get' a sou from Sin
clair and only $3600 from tbe Giant
owners, according to the man who en
gineered the "hold-up".
Of the $3500 bonus that the Giants
passed over, Kauff only got a trifle
more than $1500. The rest was di
vided among lawyers and others who
had assisted Kauff in his demands of
"bonus or no play."
Adding Kauffs bonus to his salary
it means that hla total income from
ball playing In 191$ and 1917 will be
$15,600 or $7750 per season.
Other Big Salaries.
Ty!' Cobb's salary Is reported to ' be
in the neighborhood of $15,000. -The
aged Honus Wagner will get $10O00
this season. Lajoie's contract calls
for something like $9000. Joe- Tinker
gets $12,000, Johnny Evers $10,000 and
Ed Konetchy, with the Pittfeds last
year, will get $8300 from the 1916 and
1917 Braves.
.'Shrinking Violet" wishes everyone
to know that he's a far better gardener
than Tris Speaker ever hoped to be,
yet Speaker will get a salary well be
yond that of Kauff'fl. The star of the
Red Soar has been offered $9000 and
the chances are that he will accept, de
spite the fact that he's balking at the
cut from $16,500 of last year and the
season before.
Eddie Collins Is reported to be draw
ing $10,000. Joe Jackson gets $8500.
Boger Pecklnpaugh, the Yankee short
stop, Just an ordinary player, has a
c.o:ract calling for $7000. Lee Magee,
who gave Kauff such a thrilling bat
tle for all around honors In the 1915
Federal circuit, is drawing $9200.
WaatH Benny Do, Xf-
Walter Johnson, the senatorial
"speed king," la getting between $12,
00 and $15,000. The exact amount is
shrouded in mystery. Mathewson's
contract calls for $10,000, while that
of Jrover Alexander contains a figure
around $10,000. Jake Daubert the first
basfng star of the Dodgers, is worth
38500-to Charlie DDets ana Jafce is
getting it
Charlie Herzosfa salary as player
and. manager totals $10,000. Helnie
Zimmerman also is a high priced per
son. Thar are others whose salaries
are greater" than that to be paid Kanff.
Wonder what "Shrinking Violet" will
do should be really hit up to his Fed
era) league form throughout 1916 and
discover, at about the same time, that
there are huge gobs of basehallers who
are dipping -much, deeper than him into
tbe exchequer of the magnates?

Seattle, Wash, March $0. Robert
Bridges, president o? the pprt com
mission, wired Senator Miles Poln
dezter Wednesday advising charter of
vessels by government to smash what
he deems a combination of transporta
tion companies to discriminate against
public docks and ruin Seattle's Alaska
shipping.
He has been advised, he Informs the
senator, that the principal steamship
companies operating between Seattle
and Alaska have combined to raise
freight rates and absorb all wharfage
charges at their doers.
This, he points out, is an act of dis
crimination against Seattle's $5,000,000
system of public docks, and will result
' 'i : --
la financial embarrassment While the
companies have wiped out their former
wharfage charge of 60 cents per ton
for goods shipped to Alaska, they have
at the same time raised freight rates
approximately $1.60 a ton.
The public docks of the port com
mission must continue to charge a
wharfage of 20 cents a ton. 1
