By Bill Brauchor
Clark Griffith, who glvee
each of Mi noble diamond ath
lotes a herring upon the per
formance of. aoma outstanding
teat, hain't a earner on all the
financial toxlness In the big
leaguei, after all. Connie
Mack, the "lean and kindly
, leadar of the A's," Isn't 10
dumb about money matters,
. either.
When the lean and kindly
leader sent Jimmy Foxx a con
tract offering him a handsome
25 per cent cut from his 816.
000 salary as a reward for
Jimmy's brilliant baseball of
the last few years, he came
pretty . close -to Orlff's all-time
record for nickel-nursing.
Foxx, prompted by persistent
' gentlemen of tho press, had
been almost ready to publicise
himself as a $50,000 ball play
er which he certainly Is If
the 1934 edition of Babe Ruth
la worth (35,000 when along
came the mail man bearing the
bad news. ( Just $38,000 less
than he expected, and a 69
eont dollar at that!
Here Is a Dall player who
would bring. 5250,008 on the
trading block, being offered 5
per cent of his value to toll
for one year. At that rate.
Lefty Grove would be worth
Just 6250 annual recompense
from the Red Sox.
There Is a chance, though,
that Mack really didn't mean
that opening offer to his great
lugger. Major league club
owners, most of them, anyway,
are experts In the dealing out
of object lessons. Mack Is
faced by the necessity of cut
ting his payroll mightily this
year. Philadelphia fans, not
over enthusiastic even in years
when a championship team
played In Shibe park, can be
expected to stay away from the
place in large numbers during
the coming season.
Mr. Mack, looking over his
roster, picks out his best ball
player, and Instead of giving
him a raise tor consistently
meritorious performance, ot
. fen him a whale of a slash.
The othor employes of the Ath
letic orchard, reading the sad
tidtngi in the newspapers,
think themselves very fortun
ate to receive only a 50 per
cent slice. At least that is the
theory.
The owner, in that way, can
get his ball club signed up
quickly at bargain prices. The
star holds tor more, and prob
ably finally gets it Foxx is
sillier than most of the base
ball geese if he signs for less
than $35,000 this year. .
Three years ago Al Simmons,
then nnder the lean and kindly
..direction ot Mr. Mack, waa a
haggling hold out. Mack rais
ed the ante gradually as open
ing day drew nearer. Simmons
waited.' On the day the season
opened, Simmons finally signed
a three-year contract calling
tor 1100,000.

PELICAN FIVE
Klamath Invades Med-
ford Friday Night to
Play Tigers.
By Al Macartney
The once defeated Pelican
quintet will again travel into
enemy territory this week-end
when they will invade the Tig
ers' lair nt Medford Friday night
and return to clash with. Lake-
view on the home court Satur
day.
Although the Red and Whits
warriors defeated their traditional
rivals 33 to IS in the first of the
two-game series played annually
with the valley team. Medford
alwavs has a surprise In store for
the "big bad men from the bins
and coach Dutch French has been
drilling his proteges without
respite In preparation tor this
important game.
In order to journey to the
state tournament at Salem, the
Klamath Pelicans must defeat
Lakeview and Bend In the dis
trict tournament However, they
have already downed the Bend
Lava Bears In four games by de
cisive scores and expect little op
position from that quarter.
Lakeview, never a strong con
tender, was walloped 41 to IS In
a previous game and If Klamath
can overcome Medford again, it
should give the team prestige
enough to lift It from a dark
horse rating into a strong con
tender tor, state honors.
Scroggln, veteran hoop-throw
er, will see his first real action
against the Tigers. He played
only a few minutes in tne first
Klamath-Medford game, because
ot Illness.
Dutch French, Pelican mentor.
has announced he will carry a
string ot five horse-shoes tied
together with a, red ribbon, when
his players make their debut in
the pear-picking center. These
horse-shoes were presented: to
him on behalf of the student
Body by Wildcat coach Al Sin
clair in an assembly held at
Klamath Hi yesterday. "If these
horse-shoes dp their duty," said
French, "we will return for the
Lakeview tilt Saturday with a
Tiger scalp on each ot bur belts."
