A statement of the profits of the American Association clubs, taken from the books of each club, shows that St. Louis has cleared $25,000 so far this season; the Athletic, of this city, $20,000; Cincinnati, $15,000, Allegheny, $7,000; Louisville, $7,000, and Baltimore, $5,000. the Athletic have probably made the most money legitimately, as they have spent several thousand dollars in improvements. Much of the St. Louis' profit is made from the sale of beer, seventy waiters being employed to sling the frothy liquid at the Sunday games.
