Text	[from an interview of Chadwick] The profits of the clubs last year were large. The Philadelphia club is now erecting a $60,000 club-house, and the New York club, after paying some $40,000 expenses, cleared more than $50,000. The Chicago and Detroit clubs also did well. These all belong to the National League. In the American Association the most successful clubs were the Brooklyn, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and Athletic of Philadelphia. The Brooklyn club cleared about $30,000. Salaries will form a large item of expense next year. Some of the men will get from $2,500 to $3,500. O’Rourke, the New York catcher, got $3,500 last year. Capt. Ward will probably get $3,000, and the pitcher and center-fielder the same. The Philadelphia club will have four or five men who will receive about $3,000.
