There is some talk of Cincinnati entering a complaint against the Detroit club for disposing of intoxicating liquors on its ground after the close of a league game.

I have not heard of the Cincinnati part of it, but I hear that the intoxicating liquors were sold on the grounds as you stated. I have inquired into the matter and find that the Detroit club leased its grounds from the Recreation Park Company, and that after the close of a game the base ball management had no control. Therefore I do not think that the Detroit people are guilty of violating the rule., quoting an interview of Hulbert in the Cleveland Leader
