| Text | [reporting on the Boston BBA annual meeting] The report of the directors, which embraced the report of the treasurer, Mr. F. E. Long, showed the gate receipts the past year to have been $30,934.61, an excess of $2023.31 over the receipts for 1876. The receipts during the year, at home, amounted to $18,642.48, and abroad to $12,292.13. The amount received at home from non-league clubs was $2323.44; received from championship games abroad, $4776.42; paid to clubs playing championship games in Boston, $7686.17. The salaries of players amount to over $22,000. The estimates of salaries for 1878 amounted to considerable less. There were at present eleven men under contract, with the probability that the number would be reduced to ten. … The expenditures had exceeded those of last year by about $800, and this was due to an extra Western trip. The report was accepted. Messrs. J. G. Billings, A. J. Chase and G. W. Sanford were appointed an auditing committee, and the meeting adjourned. Boston Herald January 6, 1878 The finances of the Boston Club, lately published in the Herald, have been pronounced incorrect in one or particulars. The figures were kindly furnished by an officer of the club, and were supposed to be correct. The exact figures are said to be, gross receipts on trips, $12,292.13, of which $4776.42 was received from championship games, $2718.18 from other games in league cities, and $4797.53 from non-league clubs.
