Text	[reporting on the AA special meeting of 7/5/1888] A three-hours debate took place on the question of twenty-five cent ball before it was put to vote. Byrne vigorously opposed a return to the old prices, and was supported by Cleveland and Baltimore. Kansas City said it would go with the majority. The vote was:--For reduction, St. Louis, Louisville, Athletic; against reduction, Brooklyn, Baltimore, Cleveland, Kansas City. [Byrne held Cincinnati's proxy.] as it requires six votes to amend the constitution, cheap ball was downed. The Athletics were given permission to meet the rate recently made by the Philadelphia League Club. Visiting clubs will receive thirty per cent of the quarter of a dollar at Philadelphia, and when the Athletics play abroad they will receive but seven and a half cents on each admission, the amount they pay visiting clubs. The Sporting Life July 11, 1888 [N.B. The following issue Barnie claimed that Baltimore voted for the reduction.]
