RAIN INTERFERED
WITH The GAME
Nothing Was Doing in Union
League Circles On AC-
count Of Weather

Although the Baltimore Union League
team arrived in this city yesterday for
the purpose Of going up against the local
Union Leaguers. there was nothing doing
in the line of baseball as rain made 1t
impossible for even practice work.
The Baltmoreans are big set of men
and II size counts for anything should
put up a good game Of ball. Among the
players was 'Red" Maher. who played
early last season with the Peaches. but
who this year win be seen in Baltimore
Union League uniform. 'Red" says he
is in trim and expects this year to play
the game Of his life. He has already
started the season by making a triple
play unassisted in Reading in the game
against the Baltimore team.
The Baltimore men left this morning

TRENTON TIGERS
SET UP A HCNL

II seems that the Peaches are not the
only ones that have fallen victims to the
"exhibition-games star" Of umpires of
the Newark Eastern Leaguers as. al
though the Wilmington Tri-Staters got g
bad deal in their game in Newark on
Monday the Tigers evidently, from the
following article from the Trenton Times,
got a worse one.
The Times, commenting on the game
played in Newark on Tuesday between
Newark and Trenton, says:
Trenton went up against the "rinky
dink'' In Newark in the game with the
Eastern Leaguers in that city. They would
call # loaded dice or cold deck in
gambling ranch but in a BAH game the
worst you can say is that the Jumps
showed the prod into the Tigers and then
twisted it around Trenton was henfruited
TO the tune Of to and so far as the
real playing went the Eastern Leaguers
had nothing on Manager Carney's men.
Mckay was the umpires tag and they
say he always means well. That beng
so let us go on record as remarking that
he is clever at disguises. It certainly
looked as IL he meant to pass Trenton
something yesterday and as a matter of
fact he did pass it-good and strong 100.
However, It was only a practice game
and no bones were broken. Here Is the
score as arranged and fixed up by his
royal nobs, the Jumps"
Trenton was defeated. to 0.

MORE TROUBLE IN
STORE FOR CARNEY

TRENTON, April 16-Evidently Il Is
the intention Of President Abrams. Of
the New Jersey-Pennsylvania League,
that the Trenton club shall fight the
Tri-State team, or in other words play
games here at the same time that tie
Tri-State team is at home.
In the schedule announced Tuesday
evening 1t is shown that Trenton's New
Jersey-Pennsylvania League club Is at
home on IA occasions that the Trenton
team Of the more important league is
here.
AS his schedule was not released
until Tuesday evening. Abrams fun
well knew what he was doing, and Il
goes without saying that he does not
relish the remark Of Manager Carney,
In threatening TO carry the war into
the enemys country, because Of the Of
fer made to a number Of Carneys
players by a representative Of Egner's
club.
Not only does Egners team oppose
the Trenton club on numerous Satur-
davs at home. but II plays on the holi-

afternoon Of Memorial Day. and on the

occasions Wilmington Is here. Newark
is also here on Labor Day. September

WHAT BASEBALL
LEAGUES COST
Estimated That 1t FOOts Up
to $Z,IOO,OOO or the
Sixteen Clubs

Would you think that it cost s2OoO.0Oo
a season to maintain the clubs Of the
two big baseball leaguesg These err me
figures that are given by president OF
one Of the big clubs.
A little bit Of calculation will show
that he's pretty nearly right-if not abb
solutely accurate.
First, 1t is well to figure that for each
club the rent Of grounds, stands, club
house and the cost of putting the ground
in good condition amounts to $4,000
In the National League this year the
clubs win travel about e5O0 miles, which
at two cents a mile for twenty players
foots I'D TO $500.
Each club plays seventy-seven games
away from home. which means as many
days In hotel at a rate which averages
50 a day per man, totaiing $1,000 Meals
and berths on trains will cost another
sloOO
The average salary list Of the players
Of major league club is S5O.OOO A man
aeer viii get 5000 and a business man
ager $1,000.
Every year the clubs draft or purchase
players from the minor league teams. This
averages three pitchers, 5000; one catcher
$1,000; two inhelders, 5000: two outfielders
5000; which makes a total Of $500, a mod
est estimate indeed in this day Of hot
rivalry and fancy prices for young play
ers.
Each club orders fifty dozen balls. at
SIS dozen, and frequently so dozen is
not enough, but this number costs $3.50.
Basing calculations upon twenty men,
the two sets of uniforms alone cost $3.50.
and the shoes round 1t up TO $1,000. Train
ers get from 5000 up.
Now add to all this $1,000 for a South
ern trip and the expense account shows
slS0,05o for a club. Before the books will
balance 260.1OO fans must pass through
the gates, at an average admission OF 50
cents. In some cities the average price
is but So cents. because four prices rule.
25, 80 and 75 cents. with the box sales
at ST.
Estimating the average at 35 cents, then
TO meet the expense SS3, ,6is fans must pass
through the turnstiles before the account
is squared.
Figuring the average expense at $780,
o5o, the cost of sixteen teams is S2OSo. 500
To this add the salary Of Ban johnson.
$4,000. and of Harry Puliiam, $4,000, and
the sum is s21O5,soO.
