GAME OF BASEBALL
AN EXPENSIVE SPORT
Magnates Assert They Are
to the Bad Financially.
OVERWHELMED BY SALARIES
Chicago Nationals Are Reported to Have
Made 100000, But Hare Says
Hot Air"

Now that the football delirium is
over, and the baseball magnates nave
finished their Thanksgiving turkey,
speculation and discussion as to the
doings Of the diamond field Will begin.
and the men who run the game will try
TO figure out some way of raking in the
currency in 1904 Most of the fans will
declare that baseball. from a financial
standpoint, is a gold mine and a great
producer of dollars. The magnates will
loudly assert that II is nothing of the
kind-that they have been losing money.
II they lose money, why should they
stick in the game? II they are MAX
ing fortunes, why should they seek to
cut salaries and retrench expenses?
The financial end of baseball has ever
been mystery to the sport-lovinK pub
lie, for the books Of a baseball concern
are sealed, and no man outside the Of
hcials ever gets to see them. Elaborate.
too. are the books. and full of curious
entries, which would make interesting
reading could they but be divulged.
Baseball bookkeeping Of today has Ger
tainly changed since the days when
the men who ran the old Athletics used
TO get together round a table after
every game, put the days receipts on
the table, and split the coin Into even
piles.

Heavy Debts.
The National League. owing TO the
many tempests il has weathered in the
past fourteen years. has contracted
enormous debts. and no sooner has one
set of obligations been lifted than new
burdens have been heaped on the mag
mates shoulders. But for these gigantic
debts, the organization would certainly
have made considerable profit. but how
can profits be jotted down when hun
dreds OF thousands have 10 be handed
out. SO much per season?
The Brotherhood war and the subsa-
quent settling Of affairs put simply
enormous debts on the National League.
Before these obligations had been half
settled, the consolidation with the
American Association came, and more
thousands had TO be chalked down az
future indebtedness Next caHe the
reduction 10 an eight-club circuit-more
expense. Then came the fight with Ban
Johnson's league. and the only wonder.
after all these troubles. is that the Ma
tional can find men who Will cough up
a dollar.
The younger American league didn't
have any such string Of burdens coming
In swift succession. but IL had the eX-
pense of new grounds and heavy sal
aries. giving it a full share Of money
troubles. The last baseball season was
supposed 10 be a good one for both
leagues. and the Chicago National club,
in particular. is alleged to have cleared
$4,000. Jim Hart says that this is a
perfectly lovely dream, and he hates
to wake anyone up-but he would give
ten years of his life TO see that $50, 900.

up to $4,000. and there are many other
items, so that $50. 900 will not be an over
estimate. II il costs $4,000 for each

even, and this without allowing a dollar
for the bonded Indebtedness Of the
league. 10000 paid admissions must

$50 games for the season, this means an

attendance mark? Where does the
money come in?

that should follow. Unto whom it was
revealed, that not unto themselves, but
unto us they did minister the things
which are now reported unto you by
them that have preached the Gospel
unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down
from Heaven" And not only were the
prophets seeking to discover what GOD
was planning and doing, but Peter goes
on to say that the angels of Heaven
desired to look into these things. God
could give nothing less than a glorious
gift. And it is the glorious Gospel be-
cause Christ, who is the theme of the
Gospel, is glorious.
A ND it is the glorious Gospel because
n it has accomplished that for which
1t was sent-the redemption of man.
The sun is glorious because it gives
light and heat and life-giving energy,
the purposes for which is was created.
Had it failed when it was hung in the
heavens by God to perform that for
which it was created, the earth would
not have rejoiced in it's light and
warmth and would not have called it
the glorious sun. Man makes a ma
chine to do a certain definite work.
When it is all completed and set up
the inventor puts it to the test to see
if it will operate successfully. When
1t does he is elated and ~rejoices exceed
ingly; a glory has come to the machine
which it did not possess before it
proved its power to perform the work
expected of it. In the east there is a
professor who has spent a lifetime
upon the problem of air navigation.
With thousands of dollars at his COM
mand he has built a most wonderful
machine. 1t looks as though it ought
to fly and would fly. But when tested,
heaven and bringing glory and fame to
its inventor and itself. it rushed down.
ward to ruin. How ridiculous it would
sound to set to praising the machine
and to call it the glorious airship.
And if the Gospel of Christ had not ac-
complished that for which it was in
tended by God we would not hear Paul
calling 1t the glorious Gospel, nor hear
multitudes throughout the years since
the good tidings were proclaimed by
the angels on Bethlehem's hills re-
joicing in the power and blessing of
the glorious Gospel. The light of the
Gospel has brought cleansing and heal
ing and rejoicing into every place
where it has found entrance. Sin has
been punished. man has been delivered.
and brought back into fellowship with
God, death has been overcome, and the
riches and fullness of Heaven have
been made accessible. Paradise lost
through sin is now Paradise regained
through Christ. This is the message
of the Gospel. This is why the Gospel
is the glorious Gospel. Christ has ac-
complished hat whereunto He was
sent.

FURTHER, it is the glorious Gospel
/ to-day, because it is still the only
message of hope to a dying and lost
world. At one time when Ingersoll was
billed to lecture against this glorious
Gospel of Christ in a certain town, a
former classmate and friend of the lee
turer, who had been to the very depths
of hell in his d~ebauchery and shame.
but who was rescued by the power of
the Christ who had reached down and
saved him and restored him to his wife
and children and friends and society.
wrote to the infidel as follows: You
may not know my history since we
parted as students, but | was swallow
ed up of sin. | went down, down. down,
until | was a poor, despised outcast,
and when thought there was none to
help and none to save there came ,one
in the name of Jesus, who told me of
His power to help, and through the
story of the cross of Christ, | turned to
Him. He made a clean. upright mar
of me; He gave me back my home. my
wife. my children. He did for me what
all else had failed to do. And now
would you, old friend, attack a religion
that can go down to the lowest depths
of hell and find a man and restore
him? What can you say against a re-
ligion like that?" 1t is said Mr.. In
gersoll read the letter to his audience
and declared he had nothing to say
against a religion like that, but thai
he would talk about a religion which
is being preached by the preachers
Rather a lame reply, surely. And the
case of this friend of the infidel is but
one of the hundreds and thousands
which are proving that the Gospel of
Christ is the power of God unto saliva
ton. 1t is the glorious Gospel still be-
cause it cor anues TO transform lives.
1t continues to cure the worlds evils
as nothing else ever has. 1t continues
to bless and help wherever its glorious
light pen~etrates.
WHY will Christian ministers dare
w to proclaim anything else than
the glorious Gospel of Christ? Is it be-
cause that Gospel has lost its power? Is
it because it is old-fashioned and insult
able to twentieth century needs? Some
may think SO, but it is because the
light of that glorious Gospel has ceased
to shine in their hearts. They are
ashamed to get up and proclaim so
simple a message as that of the Christ
and the cross. They must talk learn
eddy and profoundly upon current top
les, upon ethics, upon sociological cues
lions, upon literature and art, ETC.. etc.
and they do tickle and please and in
terest and instruct their audiences. but
oh! to precious souls that are perish
ing they do not bring one single word
of the truth as it is in Christ Jesus.
They succeed in getting man to look
within himself for help and improve
ment, but they fail to point TO the ONLY
One who can save from sin and restore
to fellowship with God. Man may de-
wise his systems of reform, he may pro-
claim ethics and culture, he may ad-
minister sociological dopes of various
brands in liberal doses, and he may
succeed in making man a little more
respectable, and cure some of the
plague spots; sbut he has not applied
the only remedy for sin, the blood of
Christ; he has not restored the guilty.
