Johnson, travel expenses, other A.L. baseball clubs, Detroit Times and Free Press, stadium repairs, Jesse Haines, Hillerich & Bradsby (bats), Chas, Comiskey, score card account, football games, War Tax, The Sporting News, Hugh Jennings (loan), AG Spalding Bros. (equipment) and much, much more; there is so much here that it would take months to read it all! This is a real piece of history which provides great insight into the workings of an early 20th century ball club.
