MUCH MONEY SUNK
In Maintaining Baseball as the M
tiOna1 Sport.


Over S2.5I7, 900 is paid out in salaries
to the professional baseball players of the
United States each year. Over $500
600 is paid in other salaries and in ex-
penses of maintaining the grounds of the
professional clubs, about $4,000 in rail-
road fares, about 100000 in sleeping car
fares, about $125,OOO in training ex-
penses, and perhaps 100000 in addi-
tiOnal expenses. And this is only count
ing the expenses of the organized baseball
leagues of the United States. registered
and recorded under the national agree
ment.
The total expense of operating baseball
in the United States as an organized
sport, therefore, is in the neighborhood
of $1,OOO,OOO, according to the estimates
of those best posted, which means that
approximately 25,000000 paid admissions
must be received before the team own
ers can break even on their investments,
not counting interest.
The fact remains that nearly one-half
of the baseball club owners of the Unit.
ed States lose money every year. The
teams that are beaten in the playing.
even in the great leagues, are lucky to es-
cape heavy financial losses, and. in
minor leagues, not over half the clubs.
and in many cases only the two leaders,
break even on the season.

When the Wheat Is Ripening.

The great wheat fields of the West
are pretty sights in late June and July.
Hills and valleys are covered with the
