| Text | ...it is important that it shall not be known to any but the captains of the contesting nines who it is that has been selected to umpire the game; and the more extensive the circle of men to choose from as umpires, the less the chance for opportunities for corrupt influences being brought to bear. New York Clipper January 19, 1878 Boston Club finances The Boston Club took in $30,000 in gate receipts during 1877, exclusive of season-ticket sales. But for their unwise exhibition tour out West in October, they would have had a surplus. Their salary list was $22,000, and traveling and other expenses were over $8,000. In their games on their own grounds they took in $18,642, and on outside club grounds $12,292, of which but $4,776 was from League championship games, $7,516 being from non-League club games. Under the new enactments of the League for 1878 much of this will be lost to them. They paid to clubs playing on their grounds $7,686. The club receipts in 1876 were $28,000 odd, and in 1875 $38,000, the best season the club ever had in every respect. New York Clipper January 19, 1878 |
