Date	Wednesday, January 4, 1888
Text	[from Frank Brunell's column] The fact is—and the managers and stockholders of clubs in cities of less than 400,000 inhabitants may as well ponder over what I write—that with present Association expenses, and anything less than a one-two three team, Cleveland could not exist on a twenty-five-cent tariff. We had fair attendance during 1887 and needed nearly double what it was to hold us financially level. If Cleveland cannot have a fifty-cent team it will have no team at all. This statement will do to bet on. The twenty-five-cent tariff necessary when the Association was struggling for life ought to have been dropped two years ago. Since that its patrons have seen fifty-cent ball for half price, and valued it only half as much as they should.
