HIGH WATER Mil I 111 DULL COST Brooklyn Magnate Says It Is Six 1 Times Greater Than Thirty Years Ago Special to The Telegraph New York, Jan. 1. —According to Charles Hercules Ebbetts, of the Brooklyn Nationals, the cost of base ball has reached the high water mark. Expenses last season were six times i greater than in 1883. Mr. Ebbetts said: "The cost of baseballing from the owner's standpoint to-day is from three to six times as great now as it was in 1883 when I broke into the business, and the cost is increasing; each year. "Everything is higher—heaps high- ■ er," continued the Dodgers' owner. "Traveling expenses, have tripled in J the past twelve or fifteen years, the | salaries are about three times higher j in some cases and practically every club has been forced to build new con crete stadiums and any increased taxes or rentals on the grounds which it uses. "In the old days a club used to carry about twenty men at the most. A salary of $2,400 was considered a huge one those days. The average salary in those days was about $1,500 which meant that a club's salary list totaled no more than $30,000." From other sources it has been learned that in these days of high salaries the average salary for twen ty-five players, a manager, an assist ant manager and two trainers is around $300,000. Added to this is the increased cost of traveling and hotel expenses, and up-to-date ball fields. TURN NOW To the Telegraph Classified pages for Harrisburg business news.
