These are tough days for the mag
nate. Making money out OF baseball
is a queer proposition. Just when the
public generally is gathering in the
shekels the magnate as a general rule
Is making the least. When times are
hard" the baseball owner counts his
profits in dollars where he figured
cents during periods of prosperity.
This sounds like figuring things
backwards. but II Is n true statement
! Baseball differs from any other form
of amusement in that u Is played dur.

! labors for a living cannot leave his
