It is well known in base ball circles that for two years Chicago has been the supporting pillow of the League. The Chicago crowds have furnished the financial pap which kept alive the puling infant clubs from other cities. The share of visiting clubs from the Chicago gate receipts has kept many of them above financial ruin. No one who is well informed believes for an instant that Worcester, Troy or Providence could last two months without the “big money” they yearly take away from Chicago. It has even been alleged with a decided assurance of knowledge that the Chicago Club has gone down into its prosperous treasury more than once and furnished financial aid of a substantial kind to several of the tottering members of the League.
