A MONEY MAKING TEAM.
New York Americans Cleared 100000
the Past Season.

New York, Dec. 22.-From the sea-
son of 1903 when Frank Farrell first
owned the New York Americans UP TO
the exciting season of 1906 the High
landers have enjoyed most remark
able Increase in prosperity and poDu-
larity, which generally go together In
that first doleful season for the yam
KEGS only an even break in expenses
was made and the season just finished
cleared them $4,000. This goes to
show the way in which the American
league gained prominence in the inter-
venfng time of these two seasons, for
people have not seemed to realize that
there were some excellent teams in the
American league until recently.
Farrell Immediately spent 4 million
when he received the franchise for the
club in fixing up the park which they
play in at present, and in that year
(19O3) the profits were all eaten up
by this expenditure. But the team
made expenses. The following year
fortune was little kinder to them.
but it was not until 1905 that there was
anything tangible in the money line.
The money amounted to about SIS, 900
that year and was increased somewhat
when the money came in from the
football games. Last year. combining
McGraw's decrease in public favor and
the aforesaid recognition Of the Ameri-
can leagues. as many as three times the
former number attended the Griffith
team s games and that. with the money
made on the road gave the Highland
