Al Reach is well pleased with the result of the League meeting in general, but does not hesitate to express the opinion that Pittsburg made a mistake when it left eh Association for the League. He admitted that it was a good thing for the League, but he can't see where it would benefit the Pittsburg Club. Said he: “I don't believe that the fifty cents admission will pay in Pittsburg. In fact, I don't see why they left when the present status of the American Association is in such an excellent condition. The Association was never in better shape. So far as the Pittsburg team is concerned, I think it will be strong enough to keep well up in the League race.” Mr. Reach further thinks the club will try the fifty-cent plan, and if it fails will go back to twenty-five cents. “Will the League allow it?” he added; “well, I should say so. The Pittsburg Club can have anything in that line it wants. That is understood.
