Text	The directors of the Cleveland Base Ball Club met last night to talk over the proposed reduction in the price of admission to games. All were agreed that 25 cents was too low a figure, and it was decided to continue with 50 cents as the price of admission tickets. Moreover, it was declared that if the new rule of the American Association was enforced here that the franchise would be sold and the players as well, and the base ball business, so far as Cleveland is concerned, closed out. Baltimore declined to waive claim to the Cleveland players, and both Cincinnati and Baltimore have been asked to name prices on the men they want. Bakely, O'Brien, Zimmer, Faatz, McKean, Stricker and Gilks are all in demand.
