BASE BALL INDUSTRY
. TODAY IS ENORMOUS
Development of the Last Few
Years Evinces Its Wonder
full Proportions.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Along about March 81 each year Hans
Wagner of Pittsburg gets a letter that
reads something like this:
Dear Hans: Inclosed Is a contract for
the coming base ball season. 1t is all
blank, as you will see. Fill 1t out to suit
yourself. Hans, but in fixing your salary
please remember that times are very bad.
Still we must have you and will pay
whatever you say"
Hans gets this letter while he is at the
Office of the Independent steel plant that
he and his brother own. He reaches for
his statistics and finds that &c., 427 persons
paid to see the games at Pittsburg last
year. Then back goes this letter to Bar
ney Dreyfuss:
"Mein Lieber Barney: Yours chust re-
ceived. Times was pretty hard here. too.
l hardly ever saw der rail markets so
bad. But maybe get away this summer
for little while If you pay me $4,000. l
hate to say this, but what can l do?"
That is the fact-Hans fixes his own
salary. and the best expert opinion is that
1t is $1,000 a month for six months. And
here's the point: There are lot of Hans
Wagners-big and little--in the base ball
business, and any undertaking that can
pay such salaries may properly be re-
garded as having reached that dignity
which entities 1t to be called an industry.
Most of the base ball fans themselves
may not know that there Is such thing
as the base ball industry of the United
States. but there is. Nor can it be de-
scribed without the use of big figures. 1t
Is great in income. great in expenditure,
great in the number of men employed and
still greater In the number of patrons.

The Southeast Club defeated a team
from the third year class Of Central High

Gov. Bradley talked to the boy jour

The governor described his early ex-

and vote the Republican ticket was
only one form of committing suicide.
He told how at one period of his po-
litical activity it became necessary for

in house and defend themselves
against Democratic raiders who were
thirsting for blood
