pur into circulation by the major organ
ization alone. Add to this sum the
smaller amounts distributed by the mi
nor leagues. the various college teams
and the innumerable clubs maintained
by athletic associations n others, and
one can imagine the vast amount OF
money put into circulation every year
through the medium Of the national
game.
In making an estimate of the various
ways in which a National league team
eats up this money the first item that
naturally faces one is the cost of the
grounds on which the games take place.
In choosing a playing site a magnate
must be sure that il is accessible. and
as the II League clubs are situated In
the leading cities of the country 1t is an
extremely difficult matter to secure a
place that is suitable I'm every way.
The average rental paid by the
OF the IL big clubs for grounds is said
to be about 500 0 q year. Even sup
posing that the stands for the accom-
mediation OF the patrons are already in
position they have 10 be kept In order
and repair and insured. Then the grass
and base lines must be kept IN good
condition. For improvements the av-
erage yearly cost is $4,000, while
ground men and insurance will add
81, 500 to the bill.
Now for the team itself. Eighteen Is
the average number Of players on the
pay roll of a National league team.
Some players arc of course paid higher
salaries than others. but a fair average
is 81, 200 a year.. To this must be added
the cost OF a manager, which is a posi-
ton of responsibility, requiring expert
ence and keen Judgment. and has to be
raid for accordingly. A fair estimate
of "a managers salary Is $4,000. Adding
these amounts together. II will be seen
that nearly $4,000 is paid out yearly in
salaries alone.
This year the team make double the
number Of trips that they did in former
seasons; consequently more travelling
will be done. The mileage will strike an
average of about $1,000 miles for each
club. At 2 cents n mile this will amount
TO So 700. Another 81, 900 goes for the
sleepers for the 30 nights the team Is
on the road. Then there are hotel bills
and meals to be settled for. The amount
expended by the manager for these two
items vs. over $4,000. Transportation
from hotels TO grounds and from rail-
road stations TO and from hotels is an
other item that counts up. Ball play
ers scorn anything less than carriages.
so 1880 goes IN this way.
Each team will play II games at home
this season. and for these games the
grounds must be provided with a corps
OF ticket sellers. ushers. gatemen and
others. no. to mention an efficient num-

Thirty cities in as many states are

For some years Buffalo has seemingly
led in the development OF likely riders,
and for three years Buffalo has had the
champion i'm Bald. In 1898 the Bisons

ed for from the fact that in the former
case no changes in the make up of the
team are necessary, whereas when de-
feat Is the order OF the day the poor
manager has continually to be purchas-
