| Text | [reporting the Boston BB Association meeting 12/9] The club has traveled 8,300 miles, at a cost of $3,744.53, against 120, 563 miles in 1877. The saving in traveling expenses this year was $2,094.80 over 1877. The salary list for 1879 will be $3,500 less than in 1878. During 1878 the falling off in receipts over 1877 was $6,272.17. A saving of $7,337.31 has been made in the general expenses of 1878 over the year before. The receipts on the home grounds in 1878 were $2,698.98 less than 1877, and on grounds abroad $3,245.44 less. New York Sunday Mercury December 15, 1878 The annual meeting of the Boston Club was held last Tuesday evening, forty-seven of the seventy-eight shares being represented. The report of the Treasurer showed a decrease in the amount of business as compared with the previous year, the actual loss, however, being less than in 1877. This deficit was mainly owing to unfavorable weather on two occasions on the home grounds, when, if the game had been played, a handsome profit would have been shown on this year's business. It was announced that the salary-list for the coming season was over $3,000 less than that of the present year. Chicago Tribune December 22, 1878 |
