Text	The Bostons' financial statement for 1877 is as follows: The gate receipts during the past year were $30,934. The receipts during the season at home amounted to $18,642, and abroad to $12,292. The amount received at home from non-League clubs was $2,323, and from championship games in Boston was $7,686. The salaries of players amounted to over $22,000. New York Herald February 1, 1878 [from a letter to the editor by Harry Wright dated January 25] Our total gross receipts on trips were...$12,292.13. Of this amount $4,776.42 was received from championship games, $2,715.18 from other games in League cities, and the remainder, $4,797.55, was the proceeds of games with non-League clubs. ... The October Western trip did not prove a loss to us; but on the contrary, netted a profit of between four and five hundred dollars; neither did we close the season $800 in debt, but after paying all liabilities, there was a balance on hand in the treasury.
