Hornsby Again Profits by Change of Clubs; Cobb Stays With Athletics

Rogers’ New Contract Good for Three Years at $40,600. OTHER BASEBALL NEWS Mackmen Sure to Display Batting Punch. By United Brest ST. PETERSBURG!!, Fla., March 2.-—Rogers Hornsby today was on a career with the Boston Braves that, from a monetary stand-point, is second only to that of Babe Ruth. The much-traded star, who went to the Braves in the sensational winter deal with the New York Giants, has signed a three-year contract that calls for $40,600 a season. The new contract takes precedence over the unexpired agreement he signed when he went to the New York Giants a year ago. after being traded from the St. Louis Cardinals. The New York contract called for 840,000 annually. That sum will be paid to him by the Braves for his playing and he will receive an additional S6OO a season for acting as team captain. Thus Hornsby had profited, financially, by every one of the amazing deals in which he has figured. When he was traded by the St. Louis Cardinals—just after he had led that team to a world's championship—his salary was increased. And thus after he had been traded by the Giants, for a pair of relatively unknown players, his salary again was advanced. TY WITH A S FORT MYERS, Fla., March 2.
