picking to train a man like Fearing than

BASEBALL WAR.
All Conflicts Expensive, and
This ITO Exception.
W.. 1. HARRIS on THE SITUATION.


Which A-c Here Presented and viii be
Found Very Instructive to All Inter-
est-d in the Fight.
All wars are expensive, and the baseball
war is not an exception to the rule. The
Players and National leagues have both
lost money in their present race for the
patronage Of the admirers Of the national
game. Some If the clubs, Of course, are
ahead, but four Of the National league
clubs are b~ehindhand in the aggregate
about $1,000. and three of the Players
clubs have had a total loss OF about $4,000.
Only three clubs In the Players league
have more than squared themselves on
running expenses, and only two have made
any profit to 90 against expenditures made
for grand stands, legal advice and other
incidental expenses connected with manag-
ing such corporations not included In run
ming expenses.
Only two clubs in the National league
have made a profit, and only two have ap-
proximated expenses. One Of the latter Ia
behindhand simply because most of its
games have been played away from home.
The results arrived at in this article are
not presented rs being absolutely correct.
They are deductions made from statements
given out as facts by both sides, and it Is
believed by the writer that these deductions
show an approximate estimate Of the condi-
ton Of affairs in each league from n flnan-
cial standpoint. The period covered by the
follow u tables is from April 10 to June
10, the first two months of the season.
ATTENDANCE ICuIE APRIL 10 TO JUNE 10.

The above figures contain all the infor-
nation TO which the public has access as
10 the financial results Of the season so far.
They are compiled from the official returns
given out by heclubs and while they may
ut times have been exaggerated they can be
generally accepted ms being nearly correct;
at any rate IL Is certain that no club has
underestimated the attendance mt It's
grounds, and therefore any calculations
made from the official figures will not
max the receipts less than they really
hayi been. The Players league divide on
tho oasis Of share and share alike. In the
Ma pnal league the home club retains 10
pei ent. OF the admissions and the grand

The scene Of battle is now transferred to
the west. That the League will now prac,
tically divide the patronage, counting its
gains in Cincinnati against its losses in
Chicago and Pittsburg, seems probable.
There is no reason why the Boston and
Chicago 0. H. clubs should not hold up
their end and keep ahead financially dur.
ing this first western campaign. Brooklyn
should also come near 1t. The losses Of
Buffalo, Cleveland and Pittsburg will con-
time in about the same ratio all season.
The Brooklyn tP. H. club cannot, on It's
nome receipts, end ahead Of the season,
and the only reason II j. now ahead is due
to good fortune and shrewd management
in getting the opening holiday and exhibi.
tion games at Boston. IL seems To me that
Cincinnati will land well ahead when its
home game receipts begin to count, that
Boston will make a profit and that the
cato Of losses to the other clubs VI the
League will be much reduced.

After a careful estimate, which men well
versed In such matters have told me was a
conservative one, | have come TO the con.
clusion that the average expense account
Of the clubs In the Players league Is about
ti2, 500 per month. and that the same fig
ures prevail in the New York. Boston, Gin.
cinnati and Brooklyn clubs of the National
league. The other four clubs are run much
cheaper, because the salary lis1 Is much
less. Say for Chicago and Philadelphia,

Pittsburg, $500. On this basis the sur.
