Manager AL. C. Buckenberger. Of the
Pittsburg base ball team, accompanied oy
his wife, is spending the holidays WIN
Mrs Buckenberger,s mother on the lslanu.
"Buckn still claims Wheeling as his home,
and registered yesterday for the purpose Of
voting at the approaching municipal elec-
ton.
"The Pittsburg club" he said to REGIS
TER reporter. has hOnored me by electing
me to the presidency, and giving me COM
plete control of the clubs affairs. Keep
YOUR eve on our base ball aggregation next
season. If we don't win the pennant, some
of the clubs will have 10 play good ball. L
have already signed twelve players, all
members Of the old team, while few OF the
other clubs have signed more than TWO or
three. The only two men who nave not
signed. are Baldwin and Farrell, but L
think there will be no trouble in getting
them TO affix their signatures TO Pittsourg
contracts. 1 have little hope OF securing
Glasscock, as it will depend entirely upon
securing Won der Ahe's consent"
"How about salaries for next seasons"
"Well. all the Pittsburg players nave
signed for much less than they received
last season. The magnates feel that the
maintenance of the clubs depends upon
their financial success, which can only Dc
brought about by a reduction in salaries.
The players, on the other hand' realize
that they must accept smaller salaries OF
90 ont OF the business. Only one or two
clubs made any money last season. The
Pittsburg club was very success1ul, al
though it came out behind at the close OF
the season. If the old rule of $3.50 guaran-
tee TO visiting clubs had been in effect, the
club would have made money as we palu
out $4,000 more than we received. linen
the clubs each paid 10 per cent OF the nome
receipts to pay off the Indebtedness OF the
old Association, which took Sl7, OUO from us.
With good team, the Pittsburg manage
ment ought to make considerable money
next season"
''The Pittsburg papers have been agltat-
ing the question Of Sunday base ball. DO
you favor the ideaW
"The Pittsburg club has never played
Sunday games, but advised the Associa-
ton TO do so last season. OF course we
could not play Sunday games at home, out
we could play in other cities. IL would De
q source of big revenue to the CLUB, ana L
have very little faith IN the statement that
it would have an adverse influence on the
home patronage. l am decidedly IN favor
of Sunday games"
