Text | Mr. Harry Von Der Horst, the financial backer of the Baltimore Club, was interviewed a few days ago in reference to the reports and alleged interviews promiscuously circulated that he had become disgusted with his experience in base ball the present season and would withdraw his support. He laughed at the idea of such a thing, and replied that he had made known his intentions of running the Baltimore Club for two seasons... With the management Mr. Von Der Horst seemed perfectly satisfied. He has attended most all the games played on the home ground, and has seen for himself the cause of the club’s ill success. Being a business man, he desires the club to be run on business principles, which has been done. “When I told you,” remarked Mr. Von Der Horst, “that I would run the Baltimore Club, I meant it, and when I said run it, I meant place the money in the hands of the management to keep it going.” At present the club is financially about even, and while they expect to lose some money, it will be a small sum. |
