Memphis Baseball Club, Is responsible for the statement that the Memphis club would not declare a dividend this year. This Is not because the club Is unable to do so. On the contrary, there is about 1000 clean profits in bank as result or the immense crowds that hocked to wit ness the Memphis play on local and Tor eiEn lots Under ordinary circumstances this amounu would be divided among stockholders. But the Memphis Associa; ton has never declared dividend ana this year the officers do not mean to make exception to the rule.

 ''The total adult attendance for the sea- son, not counting holiday. games. was 5S3,C0O The total number of games play ed. not counting tie games and games played over was 9S4. of which F were holiday games. leaving 972 games for the 5SS,OOO attendance, an average of 600 for the season.
 ''The greatest number of admissions during the season was the opening game at New Orleans with Little Rock. when there were 6, 2S3 paid admissions.
 "A comparison of these figures with those issued July will prove interesting. The total attendance to that time for 204 games was z4S,9S7, an average for 9Si games, or nearly five times as many as had been played up to July 1, is a little more than twice as much, 5S3,0 ,000
 This shows that baseball paid better the first two months than toward the last of the season. Taking 5SS 900 admissions at 25c each, the total amount paid by Southern League patrons in 1908 not counting grand stand, was Si45, TOO. with Sll ,0OO additional on holidays, a grand total of Sl56, TOO. In addition to this the grand stand receipts will average 40 per cent of the attepdance at each gate. which would give $5s, 900 from that source or about $215.000 paid by Southern pa irons for baseball this year. Of the total receipts, the Southern League receipts 10 per cent, or about SIS, ,000."

Another bit of news that will not be relished by stockholders of the baseball association was the information given by Mir Ewing that in the future stockhold- CTS would not be given season tickets which admits them to all games without cost of any kind.
 we figure that it cost us over 5000 by granting free tickets to the stockholders. who are really not entitled to such cour- tesies any more than stockholder in a banking concern would be entitled to use of funds in his bank without some rate of interest. General Carnes will assist us Tn running this club on a sound business basis so as to make successful and clean baseball in Memphis and perpetual amusement.
 Mir Ewing is pleased with prospects of securing Lew Whistler to manage the 1904 Memphis club. He appreciates the char acter of MT. Whistler and also his hust- ling abilities as a player and harmonZer. whistler is expected next month and the chances are that there will be no trouble in arranging a contract for his services.
