| Text | West Fisler, of Philadelphia, formerly well known in base ball circles, has engaged with the Albert Merritts of Camden, as manager. Having a good situation with John Wanamaker, Mr. Fisler refused to play for less than $2,500. it is quite likely a larger sum has been promised by the Camden club. Harrisburg Patriot May 1, 1883 W. F. [sic] Fisler, the manager of the Merritt base ball club, yesterday denied in Reading the report that the club would disband. He says there is no truth in the newspaper stories. Harrisburg Patriot June 2, 1883 The aggregate of the monthly salary of the [disbanded] Merritt Club was but $1,315 divided up as follows: Gardner and Emslie, $150 each; Sweeny, Corcoran, Fennelly, Householder and Greenwood, $125 each; Warner and Kimber, $100 each, and Keinzel, $90. Wes Fisler got $100 per month. The differences in the salaries was not due to the worth of the men, but rather to the time of signing them. Those engaged early demanded les than those signed late in the season. Trenton Evening Times July 23, 1883 |
