E1eilbroner recently figured out the
number Of miles the St. Louis club win
travel this summer and the expenses
of Tebeau's team for railroad fares are
about the same as those of any Of the
National league clubs According to
Robison's figures the Braves will travel
1O,S37 miles during the season. Using
these figures as a basis of estimation a
st. Louis paper goes on to say:
AS h team will carry an average Of
ten men on each trip, it will be seen the
total mileage which will have to be
paid for is 162, sos. AS there are eight
clubs which must 60 over the same
ground, and which will carry about the

or $3.50 for the eight clubs. Bus fares
will average SIS per day, while the team

five trips to the parks or the days when
the weather will prevent a game, the
bus fare will amount, to about $375 per
club for the season.. or 49, 900 for. the en-
tire league. Next come hotel bills, which
average $3.50 per day. With open dates
and rains the players of each club will
spend at least IS days awa from home
during The season at an expense of $37. SO
per day per club. This makes a total
for the season of $3,187.5 so for each club,
