CLUB OWNERS
HAVE NO BIG GOLD MINE
Cost of Running Team for One
Season Leaves Little Mar
gin for Profit.

Very few people who attend baseball
games during the summer have any idea
what II costs to run ball team. OF course
during war times the cost was simply
ridiculous, as managers paid out salaries
to players without any thought as to
whether the receipts would warrant such
expenditures. With all the leagues at peace
and salary limits (Which in most cases are a
farce adopted the clubs are supposed to
get down to a business basis A league
team, that is a team such as any asso-
citation club must maintain, will cost at
least $4,000 to $4,000, and in some cases
$4,000.
When a club has bench manager the
cost is naturally $1,000 more, as no good ball
manager can be secured for less than from
5000 to $500. The following table will
give fairly accurate estimate of the cost
of running a club: Cost of team and man.
ager, $4,000; railway transportation and
sleepers, $1,000; hotel bill for players, s2,O16
rental of ball park. s., 900: advertising 81 OOO
ground keeper, $3.50; help at ball park, 81, 500;
yearly improvements. $780, bus hire. s2SS;
miscellaneous, $1,000; total, SO, ,654. Estimate
the total attendance during the season
at 100000 people (Which is liberaD and
the receipts would amount to $4,000 at %
cents head. Then allow So, $50 for 5000
persons who may take grand stand seats
and a total of SOS. $50 is chalked up OF
course visiting teams get half of the gate
money mot counting grand Stand), so that
the money received away from home will
Offset what is paid out to visiting clubs
Then deduct per cent. for the expenses
of the league and the receipts are cut from
SIS, 750 10 s27,35O. When the expenses and
receipts are compared they show the fol-
lowing results: Total receipts, S27. $50: total
expenses. SIS, go: profit. s1.71O: privileges.
$1,000 The s2.Il0 represents the amount
of money to be realized on a basis of 100 900
persons attending the games.
This leaves very little soothing syrlIp for
the owner, although in most cases the men
in the baseball business, such men as George
Lennon, of St Paul. 7. j. Bryce of Column
bus Charles Strobel. of Toledo. and Charles
Havenor. of Milwaukee, figure that the ad-
vertising they get out of the game repays
them to a certain extent for their labor
i'm that direction. When a club can hold
down expenses, say 10 about 81 600 or there
abouts the chances are bright for the own
er clearing up about 5000 or more and
should the owner be fortunate enough 10
have n leading team his receipts nat
urally increase at home and abroad so that
the chances are favorable for a clearing uu
of, say $4,000. but that Is the gambling
chance in the game that all ball men must
take Many of the clubs will be tied ur
with greater expenses this season as a re-
suit of the war last year. but next season
should find all of them on better footing
both from playing and business basis.

SUCCESS OF TWO MARIETTA MEN

There appeared in the Chattanooga
News the past week descriptive arti-
Gle Of the Chattanooga Transfer Com
pany's elegant five story storage build
ing just completed and owned by Messrs.
! James c. and S. E. Howell built at a
cost of $75, 900 The new building was
thrown open for public inspection and
the many friends of these clever gentle
men turned out enmasse and expressed
much admiration for the handsome
structure, which required large force
of workmen for the past year and half
to build
The regimental band of the seventh
cavalry stationed at Chckamauga Park,
gave delightful concert from to 5
O'Clock p. M, to the delight of the
visitors.
The structure is an ornament to Chat
tanooga, occupies prominent position
in the heart of the business district and
is the finest storage warehouse building
owned by any company in the south.
Every department is complete and the
interior attractive. The office is on the
ground floor at the corner of Georgia
avenue and tenth street. In the base
ment there is a storage room and a
safety deposit vault. Adriveway leads
from the alley to the top of the build
ing, and the teams can be driven to any
part of the building. The transfer
company will manufacture all the We
hicles used by the company. A general
manufacturing plant will be established
for their own use.
Jim and Ell Howell are Marietta men,
sons of the late A. Howell and went to
Chattanooga practically poor men, but
by industry, energy and frugality they
have succeeded we'll and stand deserv-
edly high in the confidence of the peo-
pie. Mr.. j. c, Howell has held several
political offices in Chattanooga, show
ing his popularity. There are no two
cleverer or truer men anywhere than
Jim and Ell ana their host of friends in
Marietta are glad to hear of their bust
ness success.
