IN HIGH CLEE
FOR THE FIRST GAME.

The fans are happy. Tomorrow the
baseball season opens in Perth Am
boy. Thousands will journey to
Amusement Park and amid the shouts
of welcome the ball tossers will APP
pear on the diamond dressed for the
fray. a noisy greeting awaits them
for the crowd has been penned up all
winter and they have got to let them
selves loose.
The amusement company has picked
its men carefully this year and they
are going to give u good account OF
themselves. There is not 4 mar among
them but who has II record behind
him and each one is going to add fresh
%laurels to his name this season.
1t has been Il long, dreary winter
and the baseball fever has been smoul
dering low. The flames have been
bursting through occasionally, of late,
however, and now that the time has
actually arrived the boys are agog.
The weather man promises US Il
clear day tomorrow and there is no
doubt but that there will be a record
breaking crowd at Amusement Park
to see the new, white sphere roll into
the field and hear the umpire cry
'Play Ball.
Those words are music to the ears
of every American. The man who
does not love n good game OF baseball
in this country is hard to find. 1t is
not definitely known as yet, who wlll
be first at the bat, but be it Seward
or Jackson who first steps up to the
marble slab, he is sure of Il hearty
welcome from the bleacherites and
the people in the grandstand. There
is also n hearty cheer in store for
Captain ''Bill'' Hoffner when he walks
up with his stick.
Tomorrow's game is going to be a
lively one. The Cuban X Giants are
a strong combination and have never
been beaten in this city, but according
to every local fan on the street last
night, they are doomed this time.
Last Sunday the X Giants were badly
beaten while the local team carried
off a great victory in New York.
Everything points to a repetition OF
the victory tomorrow. Here's to the
Perth Amboys, may the best team
win,

MONEY SPENT IN
GAME OF BASEBALL.

From a school boys game at its incep-
ton, baseball has developed into a natio-
nal sport that costs the promoters of
organized $4,000, 900 a season and fur
nishes entertainment for the residents of
cl ties with an aggregate population of
%, 0G0. 900. The figures herewith present
ed deal only with the .cities in the princi-
pal leagues. which are conducted under
the national agreement.
AS every city, town, village, and ham
let in America has its ball team, it can
readily be seen that the total amoGt eX-
pended each season in the maintenance
of the game in this country and the
number of people who %patronize it II ust
he stupeDdous.
The figures presented were obtained
from expert baseball man connected with
each organization. While not exact as
to the penny. they are approximately
correct, and give an excellent idea as to
the magnitude of the American national
game.
This deals with professional base ball.
and does not touch the thousands upon
thousands of college and amateur games.
The figures are instructive as showing
the marvellous growth Of the game, and
as indicating the mann er in which thou
sands OF young men now make a living .
On an average of fifteen men each to the
l6+ clubs under the national agreement,
there is shown to be =, 400 players in that
branch Of the game alone, and the indie
pendent professionals doubtless swell the
total to 10, goo.
