Text	[from a column by Diddlebock, writing as “Mark It Down] The impression was general that there was to be a decided decrease in players’ salaries next season, but on the contrary all the engagements so far made show a decided increase. Considerable surprise has been expressed that this should be the case, but base ball managers all agree that tis is not caused by a paucity of players, but is brought about by the scarcity of strictly first-class men. The Chicago, Boston, Providence and Buffalo clubs in the League, the “Mets,” Athletic, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Baltimore and Louisville in the American, and St. Louis and Cincinnati in the Union have teams that are invincible when compared to others in the same associations. Men like O’Rourke, Burdock, Radbourn, Gilligan, Brouthers, White, Richardson, Whitney, Anson and some others cannot be secured every season, and when any one of these men is eligible to sign a contract he is offered the highest terms. O’Rourke, for instance, may well be worth $6,000 to the New York Club.
