The salaries for the season will be higher than ever before, and $2500, formerly an unknown figure to pay a player, will be considered as not at all extraordinary. The largest salary reported is that of O'Rourke of the New Yorks, who will receive $4200. The excellent remuneration offered skillful ball players has attracted an excellent class of amateurs, and not a few collegians, whose earning are carefully saved either as a fund for future investment or to further their education.
