| Text | “With all the star players,” said A Boston gentleman who has promised to put big money into the scheme, “I can't see why it will not be a success. The people go to see the actors and not the theatre. What do the public care who runs the sport so long as it is honestly carried on. I am sure that the base ball public of Boston would rather like to see the players get some of the immense profits made by the triumvirs and would support them. The players will all be guaranteed good salaries, with a part of the profits. “Mr. Ward is positive that the game is on the increase, and most of the men figure that they can make considerable more money. Men are working quietly in each of the League cities, and the League can rest assured that they have a fight before them of immense proportions. “The old stockholders of the Boston Club are working hard to bring around the rupture, as it will give them a chance to settle old grievances. Several of the best men in the Boston team have already promised to work hard for the new deal. |
