1915-8-01G "Winning Team Demanded By The Town Supporters. That is why Ridgeway pays Howard Camnitz a big league salary - enthusiasm in sport all over the country - greatest in a decade."
In 1914 the Ridgway club, which was not even very good, cost $2850 a month, 3/4 of payroll spent on pitching. This year Howard Camnitz is getting $650/month + expenses. Also on the pitching staff is the former major leaguer Rube Witherup, playing under the name of Smith. The outfielders are paid $150/month.
Johnsonburg & St. Marys also have high-class teams. The three teams are trying to work out a championship format to determine a winner amongst themselves, the creme de la creme.
Many other top clubs listed. Pittsburgh Collegians are in 16th year.
More interest in independent baseball than there has been since 1905.
1916-5-14 Tomorrow there will be local meeting of National Amateur Baseball Association - players, leagues, & teams invited. Local branch of NABA has 600 individual teams exclusive of leagues.

Barney Dreyfuss and "Hans" Wagner on board of directors of local organization.
