Text	[from W. I Harris's column] Mr. Byrne was as generous to his players as John B. Day was to the Giants. Indeed, more so. Mr. Day's men were not under contract after Oct. 15, and he was in a measure obliged to give them a good thing to get them to play, and as I happen to know, the men would not have played for less than 40 per cent. Mr. Day gave them 50 per cent--$380.13 for each man. Mr. Byrne's players were bound to play until Oct. 31, under their contracts. Byrne wasn't obliged to give them anything. He did though. He divided equally, and each of the Grooms got $389.29—or $9.16 each more than the Giants received. The reason for this discrepancy was due to the fact that Mr. Bryne's expense bill for carriages was not so heavy.
