Text	[from an interview of Henry Lucas] I will also give you the real figures of the losses I have incurred in base ball. In 1884 while in the Union Association I lost $17,000. That lost was incurred, however, not by my own team, but by others whom I had to keep afloat. In 1885, my first year in the League, I lost 410,000. This year I have not lost a dollar. Had I continued in the business until the close of the season, however, I would have lost probably as much money this year as I did last. The money I received for Dunlap’s release offset all my losses for this year. The Sporting News August 23, 1886
