Baseball Now
Is Big Business
Staggering Figures Appear
On Economic Side of
National Game.

Observation-Disclosures historians
and pseudo historians are quarrel
ing over the origin of baseball, stat
isticians reveal staggering figures
on the economic side of the game
Old and young, big and little, male
and female-baseball is Of interest
to all of them, either as players
or spectators. So strongly has the
game caught the fancy of the coun-
try that there seems to be some
thing lacking in the man who
cannot catch or throw a ball with
some semblance of grace, and in a
woman who has not stood on the
sidelines, become sun-baked in the
bleachers, or slipped pop" in the
cool of the grandstand.
'tBasebalrs contemporary hall of
fame met in Cooperstown, N. Y, to
celebrate century of the national
game; but baseball for dollars did
not arrive until rs years ago on a
field in Brooklyn, NJ Y, when the
first commercial game was played"
says the National Geographic soci-
ETY..
'Out of that game has grown a
multi-million dollar business. Com
pare, for instance, the open fields
and the later board fence enclo-
sures where the early game was
played, with the gigantic base
ball stadia of steel and cement now
in every large city.
Runs Into Millions.
1.-THE American league plants
alone, not including the value of
franchises, are valued at $40, 900, 900,
and that figure does not include the
$4,000,000 municipality owned stadi-
ium used by the Cleveland American
league team. The Yankee Stadium
in New York was the most costly,
topping the Cleveland plant by
$1,0O0,O0O.
Like any other business enter
prise, baseball has it's ups and
downs. Attendance figures do not
remain stable from year to year.
For instance, the largest number Of
spectators at single game did not
assemble this year or last year, but
in 1882 when 1882 attended a game
in Cleveland. Last year, however,
| was banner year for spectators at
double-header when IS, 421 people
packed the New York Yankees sta
dunn. This attendance was in strik-
ing contrast to the gate at the first
| commercial game which was wit
Dickenson County herald. [volume] (Clintwood, Va.) 1939-195?, 1939-09-21
messed by 1880 spectators.

I'm the early days of baseball
clubs, members were required to be
in good standing for a month before
they could play. Today a player
may be literally bought and sold
and may then play on a new team
Immediately after he is acquired.
The record price paid for a player
in all the history of baseball is
$250,OOO.
1.-THE cost of running even an aver
age big league team would amaze
the throng passing through the turn
stiles at any ball yard. The sal
aries alone of players and en-
ployees, numbering about 300 when
team is at home, amount to about
a quarter of million dollars for the
season. Then there are additional
expenses of about another quarter
million. This latter figure includes
such items as six dozen baseballs
for each of the " games at home
and two dozen for an equal number
of games away.
Make 100000 Baseballs.
''In 1887 nearly 100000 bats,
$4,000 masks, and 100000 gloves
were manufactured to keep up with
the demands of baseball. And man.
ufacturers made more than 7,O0O,OOO
baseballs. Covers for the balls are
still handsewn in spite of other mod
ern developments in the manufac-
ture of baseball equipment. Horse
hide covers largely come from
Europe.
1.-THE first amateur association of
baseball clubs was organized in 1857
and the first series of games was
played the next year between teams
from New York and Brooklyn at
Flushing, N. Y, near the present
Worlds fair grounds.
1.-THE first intercollegiate game
was played July l, 1859, when Am
herst college defeated Williams col
lege at Pittsfeld, Mass. The score
was 70 to 32-large figures COM
pared with scores of today, but in
those days scores of more than 100
were not uncommon.
every large city in the United
States has a dozen or more baseball
clubs. Nearly every college has a
varsity team. In rural communi-
ties baseball is "a favored pastime.
Six million spectators have wit
messed American league games
alone in one year. Add to that the
turnstile figures OF the National
league and scores of lesser leagues,
college game spectators, and the
fan line at thousands of free anna
teur 'sandlot' games and you will
arrive at figure that may almost
equal the population Of the United
States"

care and custody of children affect
ed by annulment of marriage or by
divorce" The Senator says that un-
der the Constitution there are only
two ways we can get at remedy for
this 1ntolerable situation: I'VE can
strive for uniform laws on marriage
