[from Caylor's letter] It would be a great encouragement if the [Cincinnati] club would give everybody a chance to secure seats in advance so that they might go out at any time during the afternoon—even after a game is begun—and find certain seats waiting for them. My suggestion is that every chair in the grant stand be numbered and a chart or diagram placed at Hawley's with coupon tickets and the privilege granted to every Cincinnati patron to go to that place any time before 1 o'clock on the day of a game and secure a seat or number of seats without extra charge. The plan would necessitate the employment of an usher, but the extra expense might well be undertaken when the increased sources of revenue are considered. Indeed an usher is needed in every grand stand to look after and suppress the brassy nuisances who always sneak in among the spectators.
