The receipts thus far aggregate $14,686.25, and out of this sum the management has paid its players and promptly met all claims. The expenses for the remainder of the season are estimated at $7,500, and as there are yet twenty-four league games to play, and more than that number of games with international clubs before the close of the season, it will be seen that the financial prospect is very bright, and that the probabilities are that instead of there being a deficit there will be a handsome surplus to the club’s credit at the close of the year.

Mr. Pettit added that he wished the people to understand that he had never contemplated any transfer to any place. The club was owned and backed in Indianapolis, and was in good shape, having made money so far this season. They would close the season in Indianapolis with the Bostons, Sept. 10, 12, and 14.
