| Text | [an interview of Dave Rowe] I want to say, once for all, that the Kansas City team is self-supporting, and more than that. When I left home a couple weeks ago President Heim and myself had just concluded the task of looking over our receipts and expenditures, and the club was then $5,278 ahead. We are drawing well on this trip, and after paying our expenses will have a profit that will swell the total over $6,000. I have heard that some people claim that we have been a burden to the League, whereas the reverse is true. Of the seven clubs that visit us and that we visit only two have paid us more money than we paid them. Those clubs are the Chicagos and Bostons. As for the St. Louis Club, we have paid it $11.70 for every $7 it paid us. We have paid Detroit at least $1.75 for each dollar it paid us, and the other clubs, with the exceptions named, have received more money at Kansas City than we received when visiting them. I say this in defense of Kansas City people, who are liberal patrons of the game, and who are in hearty accord with the efforts of President Heim and his associations. I have calculated that we lost $8,000 by the cyclone last spring, and a club that can stand that loss and have a balance is certainly self-supporting. |
