Text	The [Athletic] club should be re-organized. Each member of the nine should receive $1000 a year, and all traveling and hotel bills paid. We should give the Captain of the Nine $1500. Scorer, Corresponding and Recording Secretaries and Treasurer, $200 each. With good management, the receipts of the club could be made to reach $25,000 during the season. Philadelphia City Item February 22, 1868 We hope the players of this city will be regularly and liberally paid for their services. A good player is worth at least $20 per week. If men are paid, let it be done openly. Base Ball is now a profession. We object to deception in this matter. Philadelphia City Item March 14, 1868
