By SID MERCER.
MARLIN SPRINGS March .7 -The,
i caste of Johnnie Cocash. the npwily 111
j tie outfielder from lietrolt. is a prat - >
tlcal demonstration of the fact that
a minor league reputation is no guar
untec of ateady employment in last
j[ company, and that, vice versa, a lac a
of reputation in ihe minors is no bar
I' to development in a major league. Co
s cash is one of the players drafted by
£ the New York club last fall Te coal
£ the club |7OO.- As an outfielder with,
r the Springfield. 111., club Cocash at J
t traded but little attention from major
* jeugue scouts—so little that nobody
L tned to buy his release. He is not a
great find, according to the Three-Eye;
league records, and McGraw might
never have picked him up had he not
r liked the young mans actions in an !
T exhibition game which the Giants play-J
F ed at Springfield last summer
But Cocash is making good down
f here. He is relying on ability, and (
I' not a minor league recommendation.
; McGraw Is a shrewd judge of players,-
■ and there is no doubt that he has a
; high opinion of the Detroit boy. Minor
league records do not go far with the
boss of the Giants. |i he gets an ex-j
1 pensive placet and discovers that he |
has plucked a lemon he gets rid of |
f* him. Spike Shannon cost the club a
l big sum, but as soon as he deteriorate
l ed his reputation did not hold a job
t for him.
a, Cocash looks very promising, and he i
[ Is strictly In the scramble for a chance j
’ to remain with the team as an extra j
outfielder. What McGraw likes about
C Cocash is his nimbleness and his abil-1
j' Ity to profit by instruction. The little j
fellow can field and run bases like a
f deer, and remembers what he is told, j
| He may be one of those spring hitteTs, I
but If he keeps up his present clip ne
will make the team. In the practice j
i game the Detroit lad is meeting the i
ball squarely. In the games of Mon- j
. day and yesterday he made nine sue- I
c ceasive hits In as many times at bat. !
H and that’s going some. The cases of
s- Cocash and Herzog are somewhat aim
l liar Herzog was an unknown quanti
[ ty last spring. lie showed unusual
ability, and when his chance came he j
was not found wanting. Yet h«* came j
I to the Giants with no great minor ’
£ league reputation.

SCHMIDTS - SALARY
BIG AS ANY OF
HIS RIVALS
I
——
NO AMERICAN LEAGUE CATCHER
DRAWS MORE THAN NAVIN OF
FERS ARKANSAN—ONLY THREE
EQUAL THE FIGURE
If it is a matter of prestige is t
worrying Charlie Schmidt, he can take
11 from President Frank J Savin, of
the I‘etroit baseball club that there
isn’t a catcher in the American league
who is drawing more money than the
figure wiibh is called for tu gchmldt s
contract that now forms the basis ut
1 ontention iwtween himself and the
club.
1 have offered Schmidt just exactly
what Comiskey ;» paying Billy Sulli
van, and what fi. Louts is paying Crl
ger " said Nav iu ' I'here is one other
catcher 111 tic* league who also draws
ihat figure H** plays on one of tlo
eustem teams. Barring these three I
who w ili tie Schmidt if he signs, he
can safely congratulate himself that
he is the highest paid catcher in the
league. No »ody has anything on him J
iU any ease
It was hist believed that Schmidt's
[difficulty was not one of salary, as;
‘this was not the point particularly ern-j
' phasiied in the letters which he wrote
to ihe tluli management. Since the
early chapters 01 the correspondence,
however, the salary matter has been t
playing an increasingly important part.
President Navln does not regard ser
iously the report from Fort Snifth that ,
Schmidt is on the verge of buying a
shoe- store there.
Manager Jennings j*oints out that.
In shifting from Coal Hill to Fort
Smith, Schmidt is moving hun
dred miles nearer Texas and the train
