A New York correspondent reports on professional baseball pay. The Mutuals pay 31,200 average to 11 players, the Athletics 12.20 to 11, the Baltimore Club 12,100 for 10, Larry Wright’s Boston Club averages 1,300 with some under 900 or 1,000, while Harry and George Wright reportedly earn 3,000 each. The Haymakers of Troy pay 15,000 for 12 players, averaging 1,300, and Cleveland’s Forest City Club averages 1,300. Seven months’ service underpins these figures, with pitchers often earning the largest shares. One pitcher allegedly earns 3,500 to tempt away a star player.
