Tho National and American Leagues
pey out more than 100000 year each
to players. and the Tri-State League CAST
year an outlaw league, but now In the
fold, 100000 Here you have 100000
to add TO the minor leagues total Of
se,7oo,o0o, giving an aggregate OF $500
900 for players salaries!
In all parts Of the United States are
detached teams made UP altogether or In
part OF paid players. The number OF
these teams and the number OF these
players 1t Is impo sable to determEie. but
no one who Is familiar with baseball in
its general aspect will question the est-
mate that the amount paid to players by
detached teams Is sufficient to make the
grand total OF the baseball salary item.
s4,o00,ooo a year.
''slx dollars a day for each man Just
about covers railroad and hotel expenses,
and big league team Is on the Tqad
about eighty days OF each season." said
manager, who has had control OF two
National League teams, when he was
asked for an estimate OF the travelling
expenses OF club.
Cmpirck Come High.
1t Is seen by this that the travelling cx-
penses OF a National League team are
more than $4,000 for the season. The
expenses OF the seventeen players for one
day are s102 and for eighty days they
amount to $3.50. For the entire league
| of eight teams the total OF travelling ex-
penses reaches the tidy little figure Of
| s65,2S0. The expenses OF the American
| League are practically the same.
Road expenses vary in an extraordi-
! nary degree in tho different leagues.
| Ranking just below the National and the
American are several leagues in which
| the expenses average IS day man.
yet there arc few leagues In which
they don't exceed So day Club owners
| in other leagues point to the Connecticut
and New England leagues as models on
| this score. With compact circuits and
/ trolley transportation, these two leagues
keep their road expenses down to an ex-
iceedingly modest figure.
/. At SO a day they cost the club owners
/ $4,000 a day when they're on the road.
and for sixty days the total is 1898, 500.
| So summary OF seasons road ex-
| penses Of professional baseball read like
this: ~
| TWO major leagues .............. Sl30, 500
Five Glass a leagues ............. 1s6.9o0
! All other leagues .............,.. 399. coo
4 Total ...,.................. sat, 06o
At $4,000 each the cost per season OF
| playing grounds in the sixteen cities OF
the National and American leagues Is
4 $1o2 900. This is a conservative estimate

leagues" could be induced to make full
and truthful statements Of the cost OF

for the tower, for IL was all
he could do to get enough to
build the church; and the
money To pay for it came
largely out his own meager
salary. But it furnished him
a home.
This Is the plan OF the
tower; The first floor is the
vestibule of the church-s
room eighteen feet square,
fronting both streets, and
with doors wide-open and in
viting. The door OF the next
floor opens out of the gallery
OF the church, and offers a
short path to the pulpit when
the minister descends, and an
easy way TO the receptionroom
when a member OF the con
gregation wants 70 see the
minister. II Is a committee
room also, and a place for
conferences of many kinds.
These committees of labor
unions have met committees
|of the employers. There. 10
lone single June, were twenty
six weddings, modest and
quiet, but legal and holy as
liz performed before the altar,
with a great organ playing the
wedding march. II is said
that the minister lives on his
wedding fees and gives away
his salary. This room and
those above would be eighteen
feet square, but out of each
one comes a stairway and a
little hall.
The next floor contains q
bedroom and livingroom.
There are two beds, double
beds,-for sometimes the
minister has other ministers
visiting him; and sometimes
he takes in q homeless man /;
and there have been times
when the room was SO full IL
was said it's occupants had 10
go downstairs TO change
their minds.
The next floor contains his
kitchen and dining-room; and
In the kitchen one need not
walk far TO reach everything
in the room; and the dinirg-
room, although elastic, is MT
spacious.
Then, far up in the top,
with two windows opening 10
the east and two others open
ing 10 the west, Is the study.
Two walls are lined with book
eases. On one side the view
is toward the city; the other
il toward the sunrise and the
great lake; and no man among
the million of the city sees
more-or more glorious-sun-
rises than he who lives ip the
tower. Across from him I,
and nearly on his level, the
great .~chimmeys put forth

and the spiritual look across
at each other; and there he
does his work.
These are the rough out.

the rest must BE- filed in

SPINAL CORD RECOMMENDED.
Unique Operation Performed in New
York

New York-AleXander Adrehi who
had his spinal cord severed by a bull
let about four years ago, will soon be
discharged from the city hospital on
Blackwell's island, entirely well. This
case has attracted the attention of
the medical fraternity, owing to the
remarkable success of the operation,
which was performed by the late Dr..
George Ryerson Fowler on May g..
1903. The ends of the severed cord
were drawn together. Adrehi was
shot through the spinal column. When
taken to the hospital the lower parts
of the body were entirely paralyzed.
The bullet passed. through the col
umn.
Adrehi was rugged up in a cage
chair, something like that used by a
baby when learning to walk During
the winter of 1905 he began to feel
sensations in his body below the
wound. Twenty-six months after the
injury he was able to stand by resting
his hands on chair. Adrehi can
now walk up and down stairs without
the use of crutches or braces This is
said to be the only operation or it's
kind to have resulted successfully.
