Attendance at BAH Games.

New York, July 1O.-Over 1000, 900 peo-
pie have paid to witness league games
up to date. The figures given out make
the number 1.070 900. This will amount in
money to $500, 600 By the time the league
has played one-half the season they
will have taken in money enough to
pay the running expenses for the year,
that is if the money would be divided up
into eight equal parts, giving each club
about $5S,000. As it is. Pittsburg and
Philadelphia have been the big winners,
while Boston and Chicago are on Easy
street. st. Louis and Brooklyn are sure
make something, and New York will be
a good big loser again. AS a whole the
big league should clear over $685. 900 this
season.
