The league has greatly simplified the work of the business managers of clubs. It arranges all the details of transportation, hotels, etc., so that the directors of a club can tell to a dollar the expense that will attend any proposed trip. These expenses are all provided for by the treasurer, who receives from the secretary of each club a statement of the actual attendance at games, and a remittance of the proportion of the home club. There remains, then, nothing for the manager to do but attend to the condition of the players, enforce discipline, and direct matters upon the diamond. Experience teaches that all this can best be done by a playing captain. In fact, the captain must direct the play, for it is against league rules for a non-playing manager to even speak to his men during the progress of a game.
