Text | President Stearns, of Detroit, was asked the other day how the Detroit Club had come out financially this season. Said he:--”About $5,000 ahead. The stockholders have reaped principally glory. The fact is, our players are paid salaries fifty per cent. higher than those of any club in the country, and they have reaped most of the benefit. It strikes me that in three games for the world's championship the stockholders should get a peep into the pasture. In addition to their salaries, each player gets a nice present from the club for winning the League pennant. Every club in the League has made money this season, but Detroit makes less than any, even than Indianapolis. |
