Izzy Kaplan Considers
Troubles of Babe Ruth
Agrees With Col. Ruppert That Piecework Is More
Conducive to Extra Home Runs Than
Straight Salary.
By W. O. McUEEHAN.
"I had a long talk with Jaklo Rup- ;
pcrtsteln, which he la president of the :
Yanklsh baaebaltera," said Izzy Kaplan
yebterday. "Jakie is a smart feller.
Anybody who could flgger it out to pay j
Baby Ruthstein by the piece work for
his run homes and got a lot of brains.'
You get a lot more work out of loafers '
If you pay them piece work instead you
should pay them a celery.
"I know from my own experience in
business that paying a feller a celery |
when haluf of the time he Is around the !
corner playing pinochle with a lot of
other loafers would bust anybody. Be
fore I was in business I was working
on piece work and so I was not a loafer.
In the pantB and wests business every
thing is piece work, so why not in the
bascballing business.
