NKW YORK. July 17. Some h ball
clubs o alonK for yeari trying all sorts
of to km hold of the rlnht material
V to make a winning team and fall; some,
on the other hand, are either lucky or
Judicious In getting hold of the right ma
terial and soon strike a winning combina
tion. All have to take chances, and long
chances, on new men making good and
be ready to risk money In landing them.
The scouting buslneas has come to be an
Important part of base ball recruiting, and
something depends on the ability of the
scout, which in his case is Judgment in
knowing a ball player when he see him.
A scout who can unearth one first-class
man a season for a major league team
earns his pay.
Big league players are had by purchase
or draft from the minor leagues, deals
with other big league clubs, by taking a
man after some other team has cast him
off and, once in a great while, by picking
him up from the vacant lots. One the
material Is rounded up it rests with the
manager to get the base ball out of it, and
managers also have to be on he lookout
for material.
The policy of two clubs, the New Tork
and Boston Americans, this season, has
been notably one of reconstruction, with
what success the future must tell, but in
their case a necessary policy. Every club
always Is looking to strengthen; none can
afford to stand still In that regard. It re
quires constant and careful planning, keen
forexlght and a thorough understanding of
what additions are needed to obtain com
ponent parts which will weld In with the
CHALMER-DETROIT NO. 61
present component parts to create a strong
v 'ole.
. ,10 present New York National league
club has been put together by a combina
tion of cleverly engineered deals and se
curing of young players from the minor
leagues. Brldwell and Tenney, both of
whom have added strength to the team,
were had In a deal of players with the
Boston Nationals. Murray, Schlel and Ray
mond were had In a deal with St .I.ouls,
the crack Bresnahan bflng parted with to
get them. Marquard, Meyers, O'Mara and
Doyle were obtained by purchase from the
minors and represent a big outlay of
money. Devlin, one of the most valuable
youngsters ever picked up. was bought
from the Newark club, and Henog Is an
other man direct from the minors. Sey
mour came from the Cincinnati club after
having been with New York once before,
and Mathewson. WllUe. Ames and Cran
dall came to the Giants from minor league
teams. Under the able guidance of Mc
Graw, most of tbese men have developed
to their present ability since Joining the
New York club.
The deal element has not cut muc
figure In the building up of the New York
American league team. Keeler and Ches
bro, for Instance, are original members of
the team. They came here In 1903 when
the local American league team was
launched. They were grabbed from the
National league In war time. Glade. Niles
and Hemphill csme In a deal with St.
Louis. Niles Is with the team no more,
while Glade has been of practically no
service to the Highlanders. Cree and
Warhop were turned over by Detroit in
payment for New York giving Morlarlty to
Detroit. Hughes and Brockett were turned
over to New York by Boston largely as a
matter of courtesy. Kid Elberfeld came
here through a deal several years ago.
Laporte, once before with New York, was
traded back to the local club by Boston. A
majority of the players, however, came
straight from the minors Engle, Demmltt,
Austin, Knight, Lake, Qulnn, Manning,
McConnell, Doyle, Klelnow, Blair, Sweeney
and, Chase. The last named was the best
find the New York club ever made and
was discovered tn California and sold to
the New Yorks. Vaughn came direct from
a college team.
Across the bridge in Brooklyn the policy
of recent years has been to seek new tlm-

it hasn't borne very luscious fruit. Some
good players have got away from Brooklyn
by deals, but few taken In. Jordon, Alper
man, Lennox, Hummell, McMillan, Lumley,
Kurtus, Berger, Dunn, Bell, Rucker, Pas
torlus. Hunter, Wllhelm, Mclntlre and
Scanlan are all minor league recruits.
Burch was taken on after St. Louis had
discarded him and has been a valuable
man for the team. Marshall Is another
who had had big league experience.
Direct from the minor league the Boston
Americans got such a promising man as
Speaker, one of the best youngsters of the
year, also McConnell. the fast young sec
ond baseman; Lord, Carrigan, Clcotte,
French, Arellanes, Wagner and Hooper.
Gessler had been In the big leagues be
fore, while Jack Stahl was had In a trade
with New York. Thoney. Chech, Wolter,
Spencer, Oessler and Schlltxer have all
been with other big league teams for a
short time.
Veterans and youngsters make up the
wabbly Boston National league aggrega
tion. Ritchey, Bowerman, Dahlen, Beau
mont and Harry Smith, had by deals and
trades, are old-timers In the service, while
Starr and Ferguson, comparative young
sters, were with other big league teams
before going to the Doves. Becker, Beck,
Stem Autrey, Bates, Tuckey, White, Linda
man and Mattern have practically been de
veloped by the Boston club, while Mc
Carthy served a brief term as pitcher with
the Pittsburg team. Former Pittsburgh rs
figure conspicuously In the formation of
the Boston team.
The strong Pittsburg team secured one
of Its malntays In the box, Victor Willis,
In a deal with Boston, but has obtained a
great deal of Its strength by looking else
where than to big league associates. Barne
Dreyfuss is a fine judge of a young player
himself and has an able lieutenant In Fred
Clarke. Clarke, through all his long big
league career, has been steadily with Drey
fuss, first in Louisville, then in Pittsburg.
Dreyfuss discovered and developed
Tommy Leach and Hans Wagner; at least
he knew enough to go for and get them
when they were In the minor leaguen.
Miller and Abstetn come stralarht from
smaller leagues, as also have Wilson, 'Gib
son, Camnits, Maddox, Lelfield, Philllppe,
Adams, Hyatt and Frock. Storke was a
college player, and Barbeau had found his
way first In, then out of the big leagues
before Pittsburg revived him and found
him very useful.
Cantillon of the Washington Is a great
hand for trades, for getting hold of men
from other major league clubs. He bought
Conroy from the New Torks and got
George Browne, Hughes, Donohue, Un
glaub, Delehanty,, McBride and Clymer
from other big league organizations. Milan,
Johnson, Gray, Groome, Smith, Freeman,
Schlpke, Street and Blankenshlp are bis
own productions, so to speak. As a dis
coverer of good young pitchers he has done
exceedingly well.
Connie Mack of the Athletics builds and
rebuilds largely with young players of
his own scouring efforts. Else he takes
more seasoned players and makes them
better Hartsel, Murphy and Davis, for In
stance, who all had been in the big leagues
before taking up with Connie. He kept
young Collins, the Columbia university
product; nursed him along for several sea
sons and made a star of him. Ganley he
got by purchase from Washington and
Thomas the same way from Detroit. Deals
much less than hla own efforts in digging
up players have brought him success, for
he has turned out Nlcholls, Barry, Barr,
Oldring, Plank, Bender, Dygert. Krause
and Coombs, first getting them from the
minors.
The Philadelphia Nationals have de
pended little on former big league players.
Bransfleld came from Pittsburg, while
Moor waa once with Cleveland. Billy
Murray took him, however, after he had
gone back to a minor league. Knabe, Doo
lan, Dooin, Magee, Titus, Osborn, Moren,
MoQulllen, Covaleakle, Richie and Shean
have all been devoleped by the Philadel
phia club. Another team of self-development
Is the Clnclnnatls. Griffith got
Fromme In a deal with St. Louis, but most
of the other players have been brought
out as major leaguers by the club Itself,
among them McLean, Egan, Hugglns,
Downey, Oakes, Paskert, Bencher, Mitchell,
Roth, Campbell, Gasper, Ewing, Rowan,
Dubuo and Castleton. The Chicago Na
tionals had Lobert once for a short while.
The Cleveland club got hold of Lajole,
Bradley and Flick In the raid on the Na
tional league. Ball comes from the New
York Americans, while Goode waa once
with that club. -Young waa bought from
the Boston Americans, Falkenburg was
had In a trade with Washington and Bemls
and H Inch man had big league experience
before casting their fortunes with Cleve
land. The club therefore has not done a
great deal of developing of young players.
However, It has bought out some good
ones with the aid of the minor leagues,
such as Stovall, Turner, Joss, Llebhardt
Clarke, Berger and Perring.
Bill Donovan, Davy Jones, Mori arty
Crawford and Mclntyre were major league
players of varying length of time before
they went to Detroit The only Cobb was
that team's own development and Dutch
Schaefer virtually so.. Bush waa had by
purchase from Indianapolis. Mullln, who
leads the American league pitchers, has
rli-en to fame under the Detroit banner,
and the club has brought Into the major
league ranks Ktlllan, Summers, Wlllet,
Btanage, Beckendorf, O'Learr, Suggs and
Work.
Comlskey has done a good deal of swap
ping and buying to get together hi team,
He got Burns and Altlser that wsy. also
rarent. iougherty and Hahn and White.
Isbell and Sullivan have been with him
almost from the first, Davis waa landed
in the war round up. PurteU la a young
ster of his own development. Ha got Ats
from the Southern league and under him
Walsh, Smith, Scott Owens, Sutor, Welday
and Flene have come to the front.

NEW YORK HOTELS ARE MINTS
System of Coining- Money Revealed
In the Dlnlnar Room
Checks.
Although It is very expensive to main
tain a fashionable hotel in New York,
every one of these huge caravansaries
keeps enriching Its proprietor. These
swell places are numerous enough already
to cause some wonder as to how all of
them pay; but that they are very profit
able there is continual evidence. Large
as they are, many of them are so crowded
at certain periods of the year that exten
sions and additions have been found nec
essary, and ei-y now and then plans for
another big hotel are announced. One of
the new hotels, the Rili-Carlton, a seventeen-story
structure, routing $2,000,000, the
erection of which was begun last year.
Is to be ready for opening In a few months.
It Is at the corner of Madison avenue and
Forty-sixth street.
The breakfast and luncheon checks of
one of the fashionable hotels, whlcn were
spread before the public In the Howard
Gould rase, afforded those unable to pat
ronlze such costly noose an Idea of how
the managers aueceed financially, despite
their heavy outlay. On these checks were
prices which only the wealthy or persons
careless as to money would be willing to
pay from day to day. A piece of peach
pie was priced at 30 cents; one lamb chop
at K cents; two lamb chops. $I.M; half a
portion of lima beans, iS cents; a small
cup of coffee. 30 cents: breakfast tea, 45
rents, half a cantaloupe. 70 cents; broiled
ba'on. 60 rents; a portion of Malaga
grapes, tt) rents; t'amembert i heese, 40
cents; ruffee and cream. 46 cents, and so
on. This hotel. It should be borne in mind,
claims that Its prices are moderate, com
pared with those charged in other swell
establishments of the kind In this city.
The number of people who are willing
to pay big rates for the satisfaction of
iktalng at Uiea magnificent hotels Is
amazing. The vanity of human nature
operates quite as much as their splendid
service in bringing them patronage. The
assistant manager of one of them, when
speaking the other day about the wisdom
of heeding the eccentricities of patrons,
said that one night in the restaurant a
young gentleman who had brought several
friends to dine, asked for pineapple a la
something or other and was saddened when
Informed that there was none of It left.
He sent for the head waiter and stated
that he had pineapple served in that par
ticular way one evening and was so de
lighted with It that he had told his
friends and that there would be keen dis
appointment If thla dish could not be had.
"The head waiter came 'to me." went on
the assistant manager, "and explained that
there was no pineapple left In the kitchen
and no way of gratifying this gentleman's
wish. I Immediately sent an attendant to
a nearby stand for a large pineapple, which
cost 26 cents. I took this Into the kitchen,
and had It prepared in the style wanted
which did not take long. The young host
was tnen Informed that the dish he wanted
was being specially prepared for him. lie
was pleased because his, Importance lu
the estimation of the party was restored.
Well, he paid tl per portion for that St
cent pineapple, and everyone In the party.
Including himself, said that It was worth
the money."
This little Incident. Illustrating how 2j
cents can be speedily transformed Into t-
or 1, gives an Inkling of how the expen
sive hotels prosper.
