Text	[from W. I. Harris's column] The New York Club officials are feeling pretty sore over their treatment by their players. They paid to players in salaries and “divies” in the two World's series during the past two seasons over $100,000, and against it they got about $75,000 in profits. Out of this they paid something like $20,000 for the losses of the Jersey City team and $25,000 for their grand stand. It will be seen therefore that the players really received more money out of the business than the magnates. All the men admit that they were treated splendidly, and yet the New York team will be the worst sufferer by the players' movements, if the law does not protect them, of any of the League clubs. Not a man has signified his intention of standing by John B. Day so far, and as far as I can learn there are not more than three of the Giants who are likely to do so, except under compulsion, and only one of the three is a star.
