There is considerable dissatisfaction in Altoona over the action of the managers of the Altoona club in joining the Union Association. “It means,” said one of the members of last season's Altoona club, to The Item last week, “the killing off of base ball in Altoona the city is a small one, and, at the utmost, cannot stand over three games a week, and then it must win two out of these games to draw anybody. Last season the club was very successful against the clubs of the neighboring towns and cities, and had not traveling expenses, yet despite this it made only about $500. the base ball patrons do not like the idea of being deprived of seeing games with the American and League clubs and they are kicking against the new move. You can put it down as a certainty that the Altoona club will last less than two months.
