CINCINyATI. Nov. q. 1870.
MR--DEAR SIR 4: According To cusum, the EXecu-
tive Board reports the members the Cincinnati
Club its determination IN reference to Tie base
bali OF l651. We have had communication with
many OF the leading roie ssional ball players through,
ont the country well as with the various members OF
Inon the Information thus obtained we have arrived
the conclusion that 10 employ nine Tor me coming
season, at the enormous salaries now dehahdsd 10y Pr
tessiOnal players, would plunge our ciuD deepy III deD
at the end of the year ,
The experienced the past two years has taught Us that
a nine whose aggregate salaries exceed 5000 or So,O
cannot, even whthe strlcest economy De sefsustah-
Ii we should employ a nine at the high salaries now
asked, the maximum sum above stated would be nearly
doubled The large liabilities thus incurred would result
i'm bankruptcy compel heavy levy upon our mem
bcrs to make up the deficiency. We are also satisfied
that payment OF large salaries causes jealousy ana leads
to extravaganza and dissipation on the part OF players
which il injurious 10 Them and Is also destructive OF that

or members have year after year contributed liber
ally for liquidation OF the expenses incurred in the
employment OF players. We do not feel that we would
be justified in calling them again-and, therefore for
the herein stated, have resolved to hire 40
players for the coming season. We believe that there
will be development OF the amateur talent Of our club
such has not been displayed since employed paid
professionals and that will still enjoy the pleasure of
witnessing many exciting contests our grounds. We
take this opportunity OF stating that our club and grounds
