By Eddie AsE $35 Per Month Was Hans’ First Salary m m m Honus Also Bought His Own Uniform

QLD-TIME fans in the National League are turning out everywhere to greet their hero of years ago, Hans Wagner, who has returned to the game as coach with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Flying Dutchman is ranked in baseball as the all-time greatest shortstop. Moreover, he was a king swatsmith, fleet on the bases and generally was regarded as a peerless infielder when at his peak. a a a a a a THERE will be several "Wagner days" celebrated around the senior circuit this year as a tribute to the veteran and baseball of the early periods in the big leagues will be discussed widely. It's amusing to learn the salary Wagner received when he first broke into professional ball. If was $35 a month and "buy your own uniform.” Joe Stahr, proprietor of the St. Elmo ease on South Illinois street, has a copy of Wagner's first contract and it hangs in a frame on the wall of Joe's buffet. A re-print of the agreement is carried herewith. BASE BALL CLUBo "S' Inter State League •S' Staton of 1895. ' Goo L. Moreland.

HANS played under the name of William Wagner in 1895 when he received his professional baptism with the Steubenville (O.) team of the Inter-State League. The contract reads, in part: “Salary payable on the first and fifteenth of each month or as soon as possible.” The club owner was protecting himself there. The sum of $35 a month was a little more than $1 a day for Honus. Furthermore, the cost of his uniform and shoes was taken out of his first pay. Os course it was a “bush” league, but $35 a month is hardly pin money for ball players nowadays, even in what’s left of the little minors, classes B and C. LEAGUE PREXY IS APPREHENSIVE * THOMAS JEFFERSON HICKEY, president of the American Association, was a visitor at Perry stadium and it took no detective to surmise the league leader was apprehensive. "Everywhere I go the weather does shameful tricks, helping to keep down attendance,” Hickey said. The A. A. prexy declined to discuss league finances, but it was evident that was a subject he thought best to leave alone for the time being. The circuit leader declared for a later opening in 1934, suggesting the last week in April or the first week in May. "We’ll pull through," Hickey replied when questioned about rumors that the American Association is struggling near the rocks. “There have been so few games played, and all in cold and damp weather, that it's difficult, to form an opinion on what the new season has in store for baseball,” he answered. The Louisville situation, with the Colonels in receivership, has presented a jig-saw puzzle that is shaking the league from top to bottom. Accustomed to staying with his team during the first road trip, Mike Kelley, president of the Minneapolis Millers, was not in Indianapolis today with the champions and his absence led to more rumors of despair in the offing for the big minor of the midwest. tt tt ts ts tt tt The ancient Rube Benton of the Minneapolis mound staff, on arrival in Indianapolis Tuesday night was told of the Kansas City Blues traveling around the league in a bus. “You fellows come in on a bus?’’ the veteran was asked. And his answer was: ‘‘At my age?”

League Homer Champion Is Here

WITH the champion Minneapolis Millers now in town to oppose the Indians is Milwaukee Joe Hauser, home run king of the league. Joe clouted the sphere for four bases forty-nine times last year and was an important factor in bringing the pennant to his team. Joe has seen service with a member so clubs, including teams in the majors, and always has been a fierce walloper of the horsehide. A bad knee ended his big league career, but he seems to navigate without trouble for Dave Bancroft’s pastimers. Also on hand at Perry stadium with the Millers is Art Ruble, who batted .376 last year to capture the hitting honors in Tom Hickey’s loop. \

Rejuvenated Chisox Top A. L. at Bat; Bruins Turn Back Pirates

BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 19.—The acquisition of A1 Simmons, Mule Haas and Jimmy Dykes seems to have injected a menacing punch into Chicago’s White Sox. This outfit, which ranked seventh in club batting last season, now is hitting better than any team in the American League. Lew Fonseca’s men clicked off fifty-six hits in five games for the impressive average of 10.2 hits a game. The Cleveland Indians are their nearest competitors with an average of 8.6 hits a game. Simmons, Haas and Dykes are proving mighty useful. They’ve driven in ten, five and six runs, respectively. However, other members also are doing well at the plate, including Manager Fonseca, Ralph Kress, Frank Grube and Luke Appling. Despite comparatively poor pitching, which has allowed an average of 8.6 hits a game, Chicago took two straight from the St. Louis Browns, then lost two and won one from Detroit. Bucky Harris was given first hand proof of the Chisox batting power Tuesday when they smashed the Tigers, 12 to 0. Sad Sam Jones, the first Chicago pitcher to go the route this year, limited the Tigers to seven hits, while his mates pounded Bridges and Hogsett for fifteen safeties, including a home run in the seventh by Ralph Kress. Five Detroit errors contributed to the victory. Continuing their show of strength, the Boston Red Sox won their second straight game from Washington, 6to 4. The Sox yanked the game out of the fire in the seventh with four runs. Earl Whitehill was the victim of this rally.

Slugging Millers Open 4-Day Stadium \ isit J A. A. Champions Tackle Indians as Blues Leave: Bill Burwell Throws Surprise Party Tuesday by Scoring Shutout and Holding Kaws to Five Hits. BY EDDIE ASH, Times Sports Editor The hard-hitting, fence-busting Minneapolis Millers, champions of the American Association, were in town today to open a four-game set with the Indians at Perry stadium and for the next four afternoons it's a good guess strife will shake the domicile of the Tribesmen.

The rollicking Millers rolled into tne city in the early evening of Tuesday and as the pastimers strolled about town and renewed acquaintances at the hot spots they were free with boasts that they held no fear of no team. "We can hit that apple,” the Millers shouted, "and we can hit it in a big park as well as in our own small back yard at Minneapolis.” Asa matter of fact, the Millers have on their roster the league's home run king in Joe Hauser and the league's batting champion. Art Ruble. It's a cinch, therefore, that Perry stadium fans are going to see some hot action as their Tribesmen begin battling Dave Bancroft's crew this afternoon. It’s an old saying in sports that "they don't come back,” but the veteran Bill Burwell denies it. He went to the rubber for the Indians in the series finale with

the Kansas City Blues Tuesday and pitched in a manner that reminded the few frigid fans present of the Burwell of several years ago. "Barnacle Bill” held the Kaws to five hits and shut ’em out, 4 to 0.

Added to brilliant hurling, Burwell entertained the rooters with a display of fielding that warmed tl- ir ears. He had five assists and three putouts and figured in two double plays. Twice he grabbed line drives and on the very last out of the game the veteran made a flying tackle of a hot drive by Kelly, knocked it down, chased it and recovered the horsehide in time to get it to Ernie Wingard in time to erase the runner. Bill poked out two hits, batted in a run and sacrificed once. In other words, he was almost the whole show. The victory gave the Indians one out of three tilts with Tris Speaker’s Blues. Red Killefer's men got away to a one-run lead in the first round when Scarritt walked, Bedore sacrificed and Wingard shot a single to left, after Callaghan skied out. Another Tribe marker was pushed around in the third on a pass to Callaghan after one down, a double by Wingard and Hufft’s infield out. In the fourth Sigafoos beat out an infield roller and kept going to second when Pitcher Frank Gabler threw wild to first. White sacrificed and Burwell scored Sigafoos with a single. The Hoosiers’ last run was chalked up in the eighth. Sigafoos reached first on a single, White walked, Burwell forced "Siggie” at third and White scored when Scarritt slapped a one-base blow to center. The Kaws threatened in the first and the eighth, but Burwell worked out of the holes and held the visitors to nine goose eggs, much to the chagrin of Manager Tris Speaker, who eluded his athletes for taking it on the chin at the hands of an old-timer.

HERE we are. back for the 1933 golf season. Encouraging reports have been popping up from every links sector, and as we dash off the first gossip of the year, it is with the opinion that before fall the season will have been one of the biggest ever for Indianapolis courses.
