COLLEGE ITCHER r GETS $900 A Some Idea of the extreme steps ma jor league clubs will take to' secure ballplayers was illustrated recently by the furor created by Eppa Rixey Jr., a collegian southpaw. Here was a 21-year-old who made a name for. him self pitching for the University of Vir ginia, and every ' club in r the majors was .on his trail. Finally, the bidding for his services got so brisk that the Philadelphia Nationals won out by giv ing' him a -salary of $900 per month. witha bonus to sign an iron-clad con tract Can you beat that? Rixey is some husky, being some six feet six inches tall, , and be weighs around 200 pounds, lie pitched great ball .for. the college, but it is no crite rion that he is worth the gamble the Phillies are taking with him. The Washington team came within two games of tying the ' American League ' record for consecutive vic tories. .The laurels are now held by the Chicago White Sox, w ho won nine teen games Jn . a row' In 1906, the year they won the championship under the leadership of Fielder Jones.
