Baseball Not a Gold Mine as Many Believe. Have the major league magnates seen the handwriting on the wall? Are they beginning to realize that all is not gold that glitters, and that to make and hold money in the baseball business they must have a little more care o the expense end of the game? For a number of years the owners jof major league franchises have been deluding themselves and the public into thinking that baseball is a gold mine in which fortunes are quickly and easily made. As a consequence the salaries of ball players went sky- high, elaborate training trips were ar- ranged, big office forces maintained, and Baif-million-dollar ball _parks erected, all this on the presumption | that baseball had only reached the | half-way stage, and that big fortunes were right at hand ready to be grasped. Magnates Getting On. Now two American league magnates have sotnded the warning, and others in both leagues though nhot publicly admitting that they have similar sen- timents, have expressed themselves as feeling the same, in private. Connie Mack, the astute manager and half- owner of the Athletics, says that in- stead of his club, which was twice in succession a world’s champlon com- bination, being a money-maker, it bas not paid a_dividend in five years. Frank Navin, the president of the Detroit club, says that the crest of popularity in' baseball has been passed 2d_that it will get no greater as a money-making _proposition. Navin says that the only salvation of the major league club owners ls to curtail his~ expenses, wherever possible, in- stead of spending money like water, cut down as much as possoble on the number of players carried, and in all ways conduct the club as an ordinary business proposition. Ball Parks Expensive. every ball club in the two has expended great on ornate ball parks success- Nearly major 1 sums of Only a mone: couple of clubs c: | ful “each season, and > a round sum_of ey. A little money is of no use to the club owner. Half-mil- lion dollar ball parks mean such a sreat invesiment that at le 30,000 profit must be made to barely pay the interest on the great sum tied up in the ball park. It cosis at an average estimate $1,000 @ day to run a ball club. The season lasts 154 days, which means that the bare running expenses of a major league club is $154,000 for a Seson. Some run greater owing to larger salarics. Then the ball park Investment must be taken into con- sideration. Taken all in all a club must have an average of more than 3,000 attendance dafty to hope to come oui on the right side of the ledger under present conditions. Less Profit Than Loss. Where are the tremendous fortunes made by magnates out of baseball? Line up the amount of money lost in the sport in the last ten years and balance it with the amouni actually cleared, and it is likely that the scale vould furn in favor of the losses. The magnates have permitted the impres- sion that they are all rolling in wealth, whereas only about six clubs have been 00d investments out of the 16 major league franchises in the past ten vears.

Consequently the Glants’ have played to great crowds. Money at Chicago. Both Chicago elubs have been money makers, though not-so great as many believe. This has been due to the same thing that made the Glants a success. The Cubs have been four-time pennant winners and three times winners of world's champion- ships. The White Sox have been pen- nant winners and always in the ht, though the receipts have shown fall- ing off in the past few years. Then, too, both Chlcago clubs have had the advantage of Sunday baseball, which has given them their greatest crowds. No other city in the country has had such a combination tending to make money for it. * Pittsburgh, though not ds large as New York, Chicago, or Philadelphia, has been a uniform money maker, though even at that the great Forbes field in Pittsburgh has not been paid for. Pittsburgh has made its money because it has won & number of pen- nants and has been in the first thres nine out of ten years. Then it has always enjoved one of the most sane and satisfactory business manage- ‘ments under President Dreyfuss that any club in baseball has experienced. This has been a model for other clubs to follow and has added many dollars to the earnings of the club. Athletics in Bad Now. The Philadelphia Athletics have been big flgures in the American league for ten years and have won four pennants and two world’s cham- plonships. While occupying thelr old fleld, on Columbia avenue, they made plenty of money, but since they have occupled ihelr handsome mnew quar- ters—for four years—though they have drawn tremendously, they have not paid a dividend. Connie Mack admits this. The burden is too great to_permit much of a margin. ‘Washington of the American League made money last year for the/ first time in ten years, and the¢n only be- cause the team was in_ the running for the pennant almost all season. Frooklvn has made Some money steadily, for ten years because of its larme _population and its proximity to New York, in addition to the fact that it has been well handled. Now, how- ever, with its three-quarter-million- dollar plant it will have to be an out- right winning team to hope to maks the Interest on the investment. i Detroit has made some money, though not a great deal, in spite of the frequent winning of American League championships. Detroit earn- ed because it had some great attrao- tions such as Jennings and Cobb and was a fine road team, drawing better away than at home. The St. Louis Americagns have lost money as a reg- ular thing and se has Cleveland. The St. Louis Nationgls have earned a little money in the past few vears because the team has been revived and kept in the running for most of the season, making it a good road at- traction. Then, too, the Sunday ball has helped. Garry Herrmann's Cin- cinnati club has not been a money- maker, though it might show a slight margin of profit. A ousiness Proposition. The moral is obvious. The days when major league baseball could be 1 Dple are’ past. It has reached a com- mercial stage, where the maintenance of a _club in either the American or the Natlonal leawues Involves ques- tions not of thousands but hundreds of thousands of dollars during a sea- son.
