[from the New Orleans columnist “Creole”] The Southern League clubs in each season of 1886 and 1887 averaged losses of six to seven thousand dollars each. This was done in a basis of a $2,500 salary list per month. The days for such salaries in minor leagues are past and a movement is now on foot to cut salaries forty to fifty per cent., and when this is done the salary lists of the Southern League clubs can be brought within a living basis.
