nishing recreation and entertainment for j their employes and the public, and that1* neither the Grahams nor Manager Cushing• ' . ' r • v * . •ever expected to see the gate receipts total an amount sufficient to meet the expenses of the team. You can take it from us that the Glassworkers team would have gone along just as it has had no Washington dollar ever fallen into the coffers of the team's treasury. ~Why whine about the money paid to Cushing? Wasn't it money well spent? Didn’t the fans get value received? Did* n't the Gray Manager get more than an equal share of the total receipts? JVas-n't it these games with the Glassworkers —more than all otfiers-rthat resulted in putting Washington on the baseball ^ Shame^ypu,parting with a few measly'bicfcs^ ixtexd^keeping for the winter our prize-winning faboutOratfe fats tied.Tht| Eagles were relieved of a spletulsd opportunity to score in tfie fifth inning when Kelley—first up in the inning—drove the ball over Haig's head for two bases aud had third stolen, but was called out when he slid into Thirdbaseman Dixon. The decision was such that even “Chick” Harris of the Herald was obliged to hold his nose.-The error coluui showed: Washington 2: Brazil 4.Cost of Baseball. /*iFew base ball fans are acquainted with the details of the financial en$ of a base ball club and few are on the “inside” enough to know just how much the four ‘games we won from Loogootee cost the fans of Daviess and Martin county. That these games were the straws to carry Loogootee over the season goes without.the saying, as it is known that while Loogootee is base ball rnad, the town is to small to keep up the aggregation that Joe Graham and Charley Cush-A amg has offered the town. It is said that last year the club lost considerable money, and there is good grounds for such a belief. However, Mr. Graham found a way to wipe out the deficit qrid the team started off bright and dean this year. The first game between the Glassworkers and the Greys here this year netted the Glassworkers $293. The second, which was played at Loogooteenetted the local management about $150, this making the Loogootee share of the game around $200 because of the grand stand receipts. The third game, in Washington, enriched the Loogootee treasury about $80, the third, here. $120, or Wtter, and the last game, $167. So it will be noticed that Washington was the causeVlV. v:£-.v-.■?-of dumping into the treasury of the Glassworkers* club no less than $800 to $825. This, alone, is almost enough to keep the Glassworkers* heads above the water, and of course the management is happy, notwithstanding the mutterings of the fans. But the muttering will pass away now tha t the season is over with the Grahamites and the next year they will come back at their benefactors with the same old smile and the same old \ bunch of partisans. They snarl and growl now because of the decisions made by; Laws in the four games in which he officiated, but with the passing of a few { months they will look upon^ him in his | true light—fair and square.—Washing-! ton Herald,Tut, tut, Chick, why worry about the) few hundred dollars the fans of Wash- j ington and vicinity have contributed to 1lt;r tthe support of the Graham Glassworkers j through admission fees paid to witness j the contests between the Glassworkers j and Grays?
