Cost of Putting on Baseball
Show Approaches 100000
Every Year.

On Tuesday, April ID. the baseball
cover will be torn off and the National
and American Leagues, the majors, will
open the season of 1908 In eight cities.
When the statement is made, conser-
vatively, that the cost of putting on this
big baseball show for one season APP
proximates more than 1000, 900, the stu
pendous business proposition baseball
has become may be reached.
Besides being the greatest sport in
the world, baseball is one of the coun-
try's big Industries. At least thirty
leagues in addition to the major organ
izations are in business, conducted on
fairly broad lines. and it is safe to say
fully $12, 000, 900 will be spent before
the various pennant races are con-
cluded.
That the expense of the big leagues
does actually total more than So, 900, 900
annually is cas- to prove. A conserva-
tive club president has given figures
proving that the statement is not exag-
gerated. His figures, which are prob
ably below those of some others. are
taken as an average.
Beginning with $4,000 a year for
ground rent, stands, clubhouse and the
cost of putting the ground in good con-
dition amounts to $4,000. In the Ma
tional League this year the club will
travel about $500 miles, which at 2
cents a mile. for twenty players, foot

ers, $1,000; two outfielders, $1,000, which
makes a total of $1,000, a modest esti-
mate indeed in this day of hot rivalry
and fancy prices for young players.
Each club orders 80 dozen balls, at
$40 a dozen, and frequently so dozen is
not enough. but this number costs $3.50.
Basing calculations upon 20 men the
two sets of uniforms alone cost $3.50,
and the shoes round it up to $1,000.
Trainers get from $500 up.
All this expense. up to $1S0.050, to get
back. To balance the books 260, 100 fans
must pass through the gates at an aV-
erage admission of 80 cents. In some
cities the average price is but 80 cents.
because four prices rule, rs, 50 and Is
cents, with the box seats at 81.
Estimating the average at 80 cents,
then, to meet the expense, $685. 4S fans
must pass through the turnstiles before
the account is squared.
OF course, after the first year one
big cost, that of the stands, is knocked
off. but a great deal of money is ex-
pended in repairs to fences. stands and
grounds and in the additions which are
made constantly, which in a measu
offset this saving.
Figuring the average expense at $780,
$50, the cost for 16 teams is $1,000, 800.
To this add the salary of Ban Johnson,
SIS, 900, and of Harry Pulliam, $10,0 900,
and the sum is 81, los, 800.

have almost been completed for the national
wrestling championships Of the Amateur
preliminary bouts will be held in Madison
Square Garden Concert Hall, Saturday
evening, April II, and the final bouts in the
same place the following Monday evening.
During the past season many wrestlers
of good promise have been developed In
the various athletic clubs OF the city. This
is especially true of the youngsters in the
lightweight class of 12o pounds. The
Church Athletic League has not been idle
in this line during the winter months, as
was shown in the very excellent competi-
tlon in the recent championships. Two of
the younger class who will be watched
with interest next month are Ruben. of the
st. George Athletic Club, and Cassidy, of
st. Bartholomew.
The national championships will act this
year as n good preliminary to the trials
for the Olympic team which will go TO
London In June. The A. A. u. will award
the regulation championship die medals Of
gold and silver to the winners of first and
second places in each class. Entries will

i had a letter from Albany yester-

about money has had a bad effect on
the Senators up there. Many of them
would have voted againset the bills
purely on the ground that they were
too drastic and unnecessary. Now
they viii be compelled to vote for the
bills in self-defense, else they will be
accused of taking money for their
votes.
Personally, l don't think there is any
money for VOTES in Albany, but it is the
talk that the money is there that is
doing the harm. Then. the fact that
the Jockey Club has not a friend at
Albany outside of, perhaps, McCarren

of the bills, and McCarren and Grady
are working more for the love of the
