DIFFER nee OF OPINION.
The management Of the Richmond club
say that the information given out by the
Norfolk Clubs management in re2ard
TO the salaries of the Clam Eaters was
misleading. They claim that the NOrfOn,
Club had the largest salary list Of any
club in the league. and that since there
was an agreement by the league trat
none of the players should receive more
than so per month. intelliSent informa-
ton on the subject is hardly attainab'e.
1t is also claimed by one OF the Rich
mond managers that the statement that
the batteries received the same salaries
as other members Of the team Is errone-
Ors. While it is true that some OF the
very best pitchers in the league who
signed at the opening are paid about the
same as other members of their clubs, IL
is not probable that in a single instance
opening Of the season he has done 50 at
anything near the salary of the other
players. for the reason that pitchers are
in great demand and have been during the
whole season. while players for other
positions are quite numerous.
The question of whether the clubs VIII
make money is also an open one. Nor
folk has been the best paying point in
the league, for the reason that they
opened to large crowds ana have h 4
sun larger crowds to every game. Nor
folk has had six more home games than
Richmond, and the home games are more
lucrative. Norfolk. IL Is claimed, drew
500 TO $3.50 per game from the start.
working up in a little while TO an average
Of nearly $500 per game. while Richmond.
for the first twelve games, did not aver
age much more than 500 per game in
receipts.
The statement that Norfolk is $500
ahead Is doubted by the Richmond man
agement
The Richmond Club is not as well of
financially as Norfolk II is said. Their
park is a more costly one They have
had to change players "A great deal, which
also involved heavy cost. and even with
the present attendance kept up. II they
make one-half as much for the whole
season ms Norfolk ia now credited with
they Will consider themselves fortunate.
Roanoke is not behind to the extent to
which IL is credited TO be; nor is Staunton
or Lynchburg, while Petersburg has had
an easy time of II all the way through
Petersburg Is said to have a large sur
plus on hand. The Petersburg Club has
had one advantage in that they had less
mileage on the schedule than any other
club. The eastern clubs have lost money
on their western trips. for the reason
that the hotel rates are higher and the
jumps are larger.
