TINKER IS BASEBALL “SLAVE”

Manager of Chicago Cubs Has Made $105,500 in Fourteen Years— Much of It Invested.

Every now and then some ball player who has been paid a large salary for playing Six months out of the year and Is sold to another club because some magnate will not increase the already unreasonable stipend, springs that old gag about slavery in baseball. Which calls to mind some such case os that of Joe Tinker, who has made

$105,500 in 14 years of major-league playing and has more than SBO,OOO of it invested in property at the present time. Showing that being a “slave” in baseball is often far better than being a professional or business man.
