Their names alone--Davey O'Brien, Marshall Geldberg, Parker Iall Johnny Plngel, XVally Young the rest--were good enough to good salaries.

Next year they'l paid strictly for what they show nd a now crop will get the "name 1 noney. O'Brien reputedly is gelling bo we on, $15,000 and $20,000 and Goldberg about 910,000 for break- ng Into the National league. This fancy folding money for four months work. Rookies entering the rell-paid precincts of major league iaseball never approach such alary scale. To understand the unique pln- acle the players hold In pro foot- all, therefore, It Ifl necessary to onsldcr the sport'a setup.

Unlike baseball, tho football anagemqnts have no fiscal Investment. There are no cosily ball arks to maintain, no bonds to re- re, no high salaried staffs of exe- titlves, coaches and scouts and no lialns of subordinate minor league for tho development of play's.

Or a club can offer a percentage or flat fee for each game.

Excep for the league';) brightest sUrg, the latter Is customary. An average player usually geti around $100 a game good for abou $1,500 for a season of 11 leagut games plus extras from exhibition contests and other sidelines. A good halfback frequently will gei four times this. The players who are capable and sturdy usually stick around for several years and most of them make more in three or four months on the gridiron than they could In an entire year at some other occupation. However, they generally supplement this Income with some off-season enterprise.

The average career of a player who makes good Is about four or live seasons. In the National league claim It takes three years for even the best of the collegians to reach his peak In the pro phaAe. Some of them stay at the top a few years after hitting it. Mel Heln, of the New York Hants, IB in his seventh season and itlll the best center In the league. Ken Strong, of the same club.
