HEAVY EXPENSE IN
 MANAGEMENT OF BALL CLUB
Many Elaborate ard Expensive Ball Parks Have Been Constructed in Re- cent Years.

New York, March 12.-The recent discussion relative to the high cost of baseball and the changes suggested as tending to reduce what, in some cases is close to prohibitive expense, has led to some interesting statements and explanations. That some are not based upon cold facts can be shown by a careful study of the baseball situa ton as it exists today.
 It has been said that one reason for the heavy expense in connection with the management of a baseball club is the building of parks and stands co:- siderably in excess of the prospective attendance as warranted by the pop ulation of the surrounding territory. one or two isolated cases it is not borne out by existing figures insofar as it applies to the general run of major and minor baseball leagues.
 In recent years some elaborate and expensive ball parks have been con structed especially in cities represent ed in the National and American League circuits. In no case, however, does a comparison of the park seating capacity and the city population show that the accommodations are out of proportion to the attendance possibil- ities.
 Taking seventeen leagues, scattered throughout the. country, as a basis for computation, it is found that te total seating capacity of. more than one hundred baseball parks is but three per cent. or the pOpulatlon or all the cities in which these parks are To- cated In the case of the larger class of cities the addition of the popula- ton figures of numerous suburbs would make the percentage still lower
 As they stand the statistics show that these seventeen leagues contain clubs which play in cities with to- tai population of 37,416,000 and that the. seating capacity of all the parks aggregates but 1,106.S00. As result these parks would be filled almost to capacity at each game if three per sons out Of every hundred of the pop ulation were to attend the contests.
 In the case of the major leagues the parks will not seat even three per cent of the population, the pgures working out nearer to two per cent. On the other hand some of the South ern and Western league parks will ac- commodate close to fifteen per cent of the surrounding population. Seven of tTie leagues cover territory in which the total population of the club cities runs over the million mark, while the other ten range between one-quarter and three quarters of a million The figures, showing the population and seating capacity of parks by leagues, are as follows:
