Text | The Philadelphia Base Ball Club held its annual meeting and election of officers on Monday evening... Some idea of the magnitude of the meeting can be formed when it is stated that ninety-two out of one hundred shares of stock were represented–the proportion being extraordinary. The gathering–as did also the recent meeting of the Athletic Club–demonstrated the interest taken in base ball matters in the Quaker City.... The reports of the board of directors and the treasurer were then read, and were very elaborate and complete in item and detail. The following is the report in a more condensed shape, and will give our readers an excellent idea of the working expense of a base ball club: RECEIPTS Sale of stock....................................................... $2,625.00 One hundred sixty-six subscriptions.................. 1,660.00 Championship games......................................... 22,107.99 Amateur games.................................................. 579.84 Exhibition games............................................... 1,008.78 Total................................................................... $27,881.61 EXPENSES Salaries paid............ $13,475.73 Postage...................... 21.00 Incidentals............... 1,200.33 Implements................ 271.50 Rent......................... 1,010.00 Uniforms................... 275.75 Pavilion................... 950.74 Traveling expe.......... 3,919.35 Printing, &c............ 718.61 Balance in treasury... 5,647.87 Advertising............. 271.32 Telegraphing........... 78.90 Total......................... $27,881.61 Stationary............... 40.50 On motion, a dividend of twenty-five dollars per share, or one hundred per cent, was ordered to be paid to the shareholders. |
