It Is nid tbat the club olllclals Intend atandlng pal on the present make op of the team, nnleaa a couple of ootOelders canbeobtalnsdataraaaonablellgure. It has been suggested tbat Ihe club should make an eliott toget (narke, ot tbe lAUlsrUleo, and tbat 110,000 should beofmedforbUtslsaae. Clarke would nndoubted- ly add auength to the team, bat It Is an open quea- don whether or not Ihe New fork CInb would be jueUded In laying out tbat amount tor bit raltose. Oooley, of tbe St. Louie Browns, would be Just u good a man, and tbeie Is Utile doubt hntthat his rs- lease could bo obulned for halt the sum aboro meoUooed. Tbeie ate rety few playera who are worth 110,000 to any club. Borne yean ai»doulile that auMUDt was paid for the leleases otlwo play- ers, but the drcumsiances jusUfled the conaumma- UOB of the deal.

Tiro good outdeldets are needed, but they can be had at leas coot then has been eogiealed tor Clarke^ release. Clarke was Tirtuallr osheard of before bis adreot loto the I/ouIstIIIs team, and so one wonid haee tbousbt of offering 110,000 for bit release a year ago. If hs could be adranced thtt much In the nlneof hiaplajingablllty In one aetsoo, what la to pterent other young playera from being broogbl to tbe front In the osme warr lliece are many other caaes similar to that ot Clarke's.
