The Chicago base ball club has a surplus of $75,000 in its treasury and President Spalding proposes to buy the grounds now occupied by the club. Some of the smaller stockholders are kicking freely because they don’t have a voice in the management of affairs, but that doesn’t make any difference to the bigger stockholders, who run the club as they see fit. The dividends are big enough but the little fellows want a finger in the pie when it comes to directing matters.
