WASTED SYMPATHY.
American League Well Able to Take
Care of Itself.

Care OF Itself.
1.-The tender solicitude shown for the well
fare of the American League in some quar-
tiers is positively touching even If it is SUI
perfluous," says Frank Hough In the Phila-
delphia Inquirer Coming from a Nation
al League source, the concern manifested
over the American League magnates
swamping themselves by excessive salary
lists is amusing. What about the expenses
attached to National League club? Quite
recently President Hart of the Chicago
club assured the writer that 1t cost 500 per
day to cover the expenses OF the perform
ances of the Remnants. That estimate was
probably based on the scheduled season OF
40 games.
'It is good betting that there are several
American League clubs which will be run
for several dollars less than sos, 600. 1t is
true the American League has hunched the
low that the league is going to the financial
bow-wows because Of that But WHY
shouldn't the players get the coin? They
form the attraction which draws the peo-
pie. Lajoie at say, $4,000 will draw more
money through the gate than will a 81, 800
second baseman and a $4,000 treasurer.
The cost of running ball club is only a
matter of arithmetic.-just little figuring.
| OF course, If there Is president at, saw.
5000; treasurer at, say, $4,000 and q
manager at, say, $4,000 more, you have
the nucleus of a large pay roll. The Brook
| lyn club is said to be capitalized at $3.50 600
| The Philadelphia ball club Qimited) Is cant
talized at $4,000 All the American League
| clubs are capitalized somewhere between
| the two"
