Text	They play not for salary...although they do have a certain portion of the proceeds of the gate. And that is nearly what every club in this vicinity receives. It is not considered a disgrace, and in the case of the Atlantics, it is but just. For, as they stand at the head of the base ball clubs, they are compelled to play very frequently. Now, as they are men who are engaged in business, and who are not wealthy, it is but right that they should be remunerated in some way or other. There are several of the nine who are compelled, every time they play, to hire some one to take their places at their business. If this was not returned to them in some way, their salary would amount to but little at the end of the week, playing as many matches as the Atlantics do., quoting an unnamed Brooklyn newspaper
