No Money in Base Ball.

''There is no money in base ball
nowadays" said j. E. Allen. one of
the Directors of the Providence Club,
at the recent base ball meeting in this
city. ''The time was when man who
put his money into club was quite
sure of coming out more or less ahead,
but that is past. When the National
League had control of all the best
players in the country few years ago,
and had no opposition, salaries were
low, and player who received 81, 500
for his seasons work did well. In
1881, when the American Association
was organized in opposition to the
League, the players salaries at once
began to 60 up, as each side tried to
outbid the other. When the two or
carnations formed what is known as
the National Agreement the clubs re-
tanned their players at the same sala-
ries.
Several other associations were then
organized in different parts of the
country and were admitted under the
protection of the national agreement.
This served to make good players, es-
pecially pitchers, scarce and forced
salaries up still higher, until at the
present time first-class pitcher will
not look at manager for less than
So. 500 for a season. Radbourne, of last
years Providence Club, received the
largest amount of money that has ever
been paid to ball player. His Won
derful pitching, which won the cham
piouship for the club, cost about S., 600,
as he did the work of two pitchers and
received the pay of two.
ssSome of the salaries which base
ball players will get next season are:
O'Rourke, Gerhardt, Deasley, Ewing
and Ward of the New York Club, 49,
600 each. Mullane was to have played
with the Cincinnati Club for $1,000.
Dunlap has a contract with the new
League Club of st. Louis for S3,400.
These are only few of the higher
prices paid, while the number of men
who get from $4,000 to $4,000 is large.
At these prices a club with team
costing only from $4,000 to $4,000
is lucky, but it has not much chance
of winning the championship. To this
expense must be added the ground
rent, the salaries of gate keepers, and
the travelling expenses, which will be
about as much more.
.'As high-priced club, the New
York Club leads, while the Metropoli-
tans are nearly as expensive. The in
come of these two clubs last year was
nearly $4,000, vet the Metrcpolitans
lost money, and the New York Club
was only little ahead. The first year
the Metropolitans were in the field
their salary list was light, as were
their travelling expenses, and at the
end of the season they were over $780,
600 ahead.--NeU York San.
