The managers of the Eastern teams would give Gilt Edge but 20 per cent of the gross receipts of the games played in this city. Tae Sacramentans thought this sum too small, inasmuch as they bave the greatest nine in the State. Stock- ton wanted a Sunday game here at a com- pensaiion which would insure them from toss. This was denied. The Easterners have cleaned up during their stay in this city $2345. Tuis sum is above ali their expenses. Billie Barnie, in speaking about the trip to the coast, said: “I feel highly encour- aged. We are an expensive company. The people have treated us very kindly. T shall ao everything in my pewer to arouss an interest in baseball on this coast. Next season we purpose coming back here. ‘““We shall bring at least thirty-five players and form three teams; perhaps four. These teams w:ll be known by the names of the principal cities in the State, The failure of Sacramento and Stockton to play ihe schedule has possibly ca.sea us to return home sooner than we would have o:herwise done. We have plaved out the full schedule of All-America and Baltimore. Our boys wmust commence rracticing fer next season’s game in March.” But the Caiifornia players tell another story. They say that the All-America- Baltimore management want it all. After the novelty of the meeting between All- America and Baltimore had worn off, and the local teams were destined to become the attraction, the Eastern management only wanted 10 give the local players a smail portion of the gate receipts.
