Text	For the purpose of showing them how the finances of the Detroit Base Ball Club have stood this year every subscriber to the $10,800 guarantee fund was requested to be at the Russell House last Friday evening. Very few were present, but the directors of the club and its attorney and assignee, W. J. Gray, were there. The expenses for 1890 were $19,510.84; total receipts, including sale of players, $9821.32, loss, $9689.52; unpaid bills, $2900; total loss, $12,489.52; guaranteed fund (collected), $8750. Another statement showed the cause of the loss. In the first twenty-five home games in 1889 the receipts were $10,904/65, and attendance 39,443. In the same corresponding games this year the receipts were $5072.48, and the attendance 17,683. The average attendance last year was about 1500 daily to about 600 this season. The creditors of the club will get nothing.
