Il - come down to the
everyday level Of
- - judges, bank cash
iers and travelling
statesmen in their use Of money. During
the last week | have learned that which
makes it safe to announce as a fact that
the National league clubs will next year
pay out not much more, II any more, than
half as much in salaries rs was paid this
year.
As an instance, this years Brooklyn
players cost the club only little less than
$4,000. The club officials declare they
will not pay one cent over $4,000 next
year. and the sum may be nearer $25, 900.
The St. Louis team Of 1899 cost Won der
Abe over $4,000. He has promised that
his next seasons team shall not cost
900 and may be kept down to $1S. 900.
The New York team, though big failure,
was expensive, and over $4,000 was paid
by the club in salaries. There may be less
cut in the sum total of this clubs next sea-
sons salaries than in any other of the
twelve, because it is necessary to strengthen
the team from outside sources, and that
can only be done by liberality in salaries
for new players which will not be granted
to the reserved players. The Bostons will

There was a little earlier in the year
some talk of organizing team for a visit
to Cuba. But the report that bull fight
ing on the island is not 80 popular as it was
last year scared off the hackers OF the en-.
terprise, for when there Is slump in bull
fighting at Havana baseball has no show.
The Clevelands had planned joint trip
to California with the Bostons. The latter
demanded guarantee OF railroad fares
both ways The Clevelands grumbled, but
granted the guarantee. Then the Bostons
backed out. That was before the finals
were played. Now the Clevelands look
upon this back down of the Bostons as the
only real good luck they have had.
The New Yorks need second baseman,
Anson's team is weak at that point. The
Bostons want better man than Quinn
for their nine. But second basemen Of the
