Who was the first American to earn $1,000,000 during his sports career?

Question:a. Ty Cobb
b. John A. Hillerich
c. Babe Ruth
d. Walter (Big Train Johnson)
e. Rogers Hornsby
f. Honus Wagner
g. John L. Sullivan
h. Bobby Jones
I. Max Baer Sr.

Answers:
I'd guess a boxer, so probably John L Sullivan. Baseball players up to Ruth got a ptittance. Bobby Jones was an amateur golfer so made no money from golf. Max Baer was after John L Sullivan. His son did play Jethro on the Beverley Hillbillies. John Hillerich only rings a bell as the baseball bat Hillerich and Bradsby.
c. Babe Ruth because he said he wanted to get paid more than the president everyone thought he was crazy but he over 1,000,000.
