| Text | That the base ball magnates are looking for brainy players is shown by the fact that of late many college-bred lads have been engaged. They are well paid. The employers know they can trust the brainy player, as a rule. He takes care of himself, and is always in condition to go upon the field and work his hardest for victory. But he will not use methods that are insulting to spectators. As a prominent exponent of the college lad in base ball, there is Clarke of the New Yorks. He never played professionally before this season. He was more lucky than amateur generally are, as he jumped into a major league club and a large salary at the first clip. He has proved himself a good player, and demonstrated that it will not be long before he will be ranked as one of the leading players in the profession. No college player who ever made a reputation for himself, but has received offers from major league clubs. The New York (N.L.) Club at one time offered Pitcher Stagg of Yale $3,000 to finish the season, after it was nearly half over. Jesse Dann, Yales' catcher, was offered big money, and Calhoun, the second baseman of the same team, received many flattering offers. Hutchinson, the best pitcher in Capt. Anson's team, is college bred. He gets a large salary. |
