| Text | Taken altogether, the season has been damaging to professional base-ball players, for, although nearly all the clubs came out with clean balance sheets, het this is due to the fact that much fewer games were played and that much of the money was taken in during the early part of the season. It behooves the championship committee, at their meeting next month, to take steps by which next season the public interest can be revised [sic]. Besides this, cities which cannot support clubs for a whole season should keep out of the arena, so that the disbandment of clubs in the heighth [sic] of the season can be prevented. Nothing has been more demoralizing than the sudden disbandment of the Troy, Forest City and other clubs. The fee for entering the championship should be placed at a figure so high as to prevent any but the really good clubs from entering, and this would do much to keep the small cooperative nines out. Let the latter, if they desire, enter for a championship of their class, and then there will be a double attraction, and it will pay them much better. |
