| Text | [from Caylor's column] The Association will find it necessary this winter to regulate the question of gate admissions and make them uniform. Under existing laws what is to prevent the Metropolitan Club or the St. Louis Club from raising the price of gate admissions next season to fifty cents. Or again, what is to prevent either club from charging twenty cents admission to the grounds or even fifteen cents and afterwards selling a seat of any kind for sums varying from ten to fifty cents. In Cincinnati the club has very few purely twenty-five cents admissions—three-fourths of all paying from forty to fifty cents. In Philadelphia there are something like 200 free tickets out for which the visiting clubs will get nothing unless they make the tariff division at so much for each person. On some grounds ladies are admitted at the gates free, but charged at the grand stand; and unless a “forestaller” is pushed forward, more than one of the clubs will be working that screw. |
