Text	[Louisville vs. St. Louis 7/20/1884] Next to the largest crowd ever gathered at a base-ball game in St. Louis was that which packed the seats and surged over into the field at Sportsman’s Park yesterday. It was a remarkably quiet, well-behaved and orderly crowd, and although the ground arrangements were defective in allowing the spectators too close to the diamond; yet there was nothing of any seriously unpleasant nature occurring to disturb the interest attaching to a brilliant and remarkable contest. Perhaps this condition of affairs was owing greatly to the promptness the officers displayed in ejecting those who were disposed to be ugly and quarrelsome, some of the grumblers being taken at their word, escorted to the office and refunded their money. St. Louis Post-Dispatch July 21, 1884 [The same issue separately stated the turnstile count as 15,692.]
