[from an interview of Young] At the present rate of compensation but few cities are able to support a first class team of players. Every community wants its local club to stand a fair chance against its rivals but there are but few clubs that can afford to pay from $3,000 to $10,000 for a single player. Unless something is done to insure a reasonable scale of salaries for players several of the larger [sic] cities will be compelled to abandon their members in the League and American Association.
