the new fifty cent tariff at the Union grounds

[Mutual vs. Eckford 5/18/1872] On Saturday, May 18, these clubs played their first championship match together, on the Union Grounds, on which occasion the new tariff of admission went into operation for the first time, the rates now being fifty cents for contests between the “regulars” and twenty-five cents for matches between regular and co-operatives, or between co-operatives themselves. As no one knew of the change of prices, and as the contest was expected to be one-sided, attendance was quite slim. New York Clipper May 25, 1872

Brunson, "Black Baseball" says this Albion Club organized in 1868, but presents no cite prior to 1872. [ba]
