80 WASHINGTON = Clark Griffith
Washington baseball magnate and
wner believes in enlightening the
pnhlc-the baseball public-on the
financial difficulties attending the. con-
a big league franchise.
"All expenses of the game have
: doubled in the past few years and
| yet the magnates nave kept the adj
missions down until this year" says
Criff- There is nothing to do but in
crease the receipts or get out of the
business. 1t is doubtful If the ma
jority of us could make a living at the
old schedule of admissions and 1t is
"a certainty that few of US would re-
teivs n returns on our investment.
Last year the Washington club
made $4,000 and out of that we had
no pay q tax OF $4,000. That is on an
investment of $500 600. But that was
basebaIl's banner year. Previously we
had lost money season after season
one year as much as $4,000.
1.-THE increase in the price Of ad-
mission probably will make the re-
ceipts from is to 20 per cent greater
this season-if tho attendance is as
big.
"But we are paying much bigger
ealaries-every club is. The cheapest

players room inc meals while on the
road. Bats cost $3.50 now. Former
ly they We're 70 cents. Balls cost
twice as much. Bus hire Is greater.
Labor on the grounds and for office
and park attendants is twice what 1t
used to be. In fact. everything costs
twice as much as it did.
Il don't believe there is one real fan
in a big league town who wouldn't
be willing to fork up the extra $40 1t
woul cost him for attending prac-
tically every game of the season If he
was told it was either pay more or
lose the club. That is what 1t means
to a fan who attends 10 out of q
schedule Of II games.
Increase in salaries have been ex-
orbitant. Many of the demands were
unjustihed.
There are few ball clubs making
money. Chicago and Detroit in the
American League and New York and
Pittsburg in the National are financial
successes. The others have their
difficulties.
Some of the losses have been
great. I'm one of the poor men in
baseball and 1 couldn't stand the
losses that some of the big fellows
have to stand.
And yet the big fellows keep on
in hopes they will turn the club into
q success-some of them having lost
as much as $100,000 a year"
