The Cincinnati Club will play three of its men $3,250 each next year. This club pays higher salaries than any other club in the country. The team of last year was supported on a paying basis, and, it is claimed, made $3,500 over all expenses. The managers plan to have the strongest team in 1879 that money can get together. New York Tribune November 29, 1878

The joint share of White, Barnes and McVey in the Cincinnati club's salary fund for 1879 is $6,250. New York Tribune March 13, 1979

a proposal for more strikes

There is a great cry for livelier batting games out West, and the only way to bring about a change of the kind is to give the striker more latitude than he now has. Instead of obliging him to strike at every fair ball, give him the latitude of every second ball–then you will see more base-hitting, despite the swift and curved-line pitching. New York Clipper November 23, 1878
