Big Profit Revealed
By White Sox Books
For Past Six Years

CHICAGO, July 2S.-The financial
secrets of the Chicago American
league baseball club, always guarded
zealously, were revealed in the base
ball trial today, the clubs books
showing net profit of $409,337 dur
ing the last six years, more than
$225,000 of this coming in 1919
alone.
Harry Gardiner, secretary of the
club, brought the records into court
at the request of the defense, which
wanted to prove by them that the
alleged sell-out of the White Sox
players in the 1919 world series had
not injured the club.
The figures showed gross receipts
Of $2,622,858 for the six years. In
only one year was there a loss
1918, when the war cut the season
short. The deficit then was $751;
673.
Grabiner's testimony also showed
the tremendous expense of a major
league club, ranging from more tina n
$225.O00 in 1915. to nearly $700,00U
The figures included $4,000 for
the world series of 1919; $4,000 for
the 1917 series.
In addition, Charles. A. Comiskey,
president of the club, draws an an
nual salary of $4,000, Gardiner tes-
titled.
