Little explanation is required, for the
items are self-explanatory in most part.
Few of the American League club pay
a rental of $4,000, but the interest paid
by Somers at Boston and by some OF
the other owners of eastern plants viii
swell the total to nearly that figure. Nc.
Graw, Manning, Mack and SOmers each
will have spent about $4,000 for stands
before the season opens. This will make
a heavy drain on the eXchequers of the
eastern clubs.

IT TAKES MONEY
COST OF OPERATING A NATIONAL
LEAGUE CLUB.
SALARIES OF SOME STARS
What the Renting Of Playing Grounds,
Expenses Of Keeping Team To-
- gether and Other Expenditures
Amounts to-Some Interesting Fig
ures That Are Very Surprising.

D., Base ball is a game full Of statistics,
but the figures generally do not relate
to the financial end of the sport, says the
Chicago Chronicle. The expansion of the
American league and the question wheth-
er base ball pays the club owners has
brought the business situation prom-
nently to the fore in the past few months
and careful investigation of the matter
is the result. Many of the former Ma
tional league stars have gone over to the
arises: rs the American league in po-
sltlon to pay the salaries offered the men
who have jumped?' This has brought out
many interesting features related to the
cost and maintenance of a major league
ball team, the receipts and incidentally
the fact that the players are the ones
who profit most from the great American
sport.
A careful estimate of the cost of Ma
tlonal league team has been madee. With
the exception of the number of players
carried, which in the American league is
IA, the figures will apply equally to the
expanding league. Several of the Ameri-
the players. This, too, will result in
slight reduction of the team expenses.
The other items are fixed, and will not
vary much throughout the two circuits.
1t is interesting to note in this connec-
ton that the one place where a saving
can be effected most readily is in the sat-
airy list The others are what would be
known as fixed expenses. and not subject
cha TO I'D in Stro
travelling expenses and home expenses
are fixed, SO they can not vary more than
several thousand dollars. Not so with
salaries. During the Brotherhood war
the league paid out more than three times
as much as two years after. There was a
drop from $4,000 to less than $4,000.
Some we'll informed base ball enthusiasts
look for some heavy cuts in salaries next
season. Following are the total expenses
