Of course, Mr. Herrmann eays that industrial and commercial complications which followed the Euro pean war affected the patronage throughout the country, but it was the [Federal League that dealt the hardest tilow. Notwithstanding the business depres sion and the operation of a rival league, the amount paid to minor leagues for jilayers drafted or purchased was prac tically as much as in former years. The minor leagues benefited to the nmount of $90,200 on account of draft ing of players by the major leagues, uud $141,050.64 was paid out for the (purchase of the release of players in all leagues. The total receipts of the Commission last year were $69,664.45, and the dis bursements were $68,178.08. Most of this was used for salaries, the umpires getting the biggest share. The report also shows that the Commission twice came to the aid of the International League. The first loan was $3,000 and the second time the minors borrowed $2,500.
