| Text | Well, the Pittsburg Club came out of the season just ended about even in finances. All their accounts are not closed up yet, so they cannot tell exactly whether they will be a few dollars ahead or behind. And this after Manager Phillips figuring out that the club would clear not less than $9,000 profit. The owners of the club are satisfied with the prospects for next season in regard to finances, if the team draws as well as id did the past season. Their expenses will be less by $6,000, which they paid bonus to Columbus a year ago, and also by some reductions of salaries. No matter what other clubs will do, Mr. Nimick will stick closely to the $2,000 limit. There were only three other players—Morris, Mountain and Carroll—who were above that limit last season, and they will come down to the limit, while several others will be proportionately reduced. The Sporting Life November 4, 1885 [reporting on the Pittsburgh Club annual meeting] The club cleared a little money—how much was not given to the public—and estimating from that the directors feel confident that under the reduced expenses of next season they can realize a fair proportion of the large amount of money invested in the club.
