Text	[reporting on the meeting of the NL 11/17/1886] Sec. 58, providing that visiting clubs should get 30 per cent of the receipts for general admission at all points except St. Louis and Philadelphia, was stricken out and the following substituted: Each club shall have exclusive control of its own grounds and shall be entitled to all receipts from any and all sources upon the said ground, but the home club shall, except holidays, pay to the visiting club $125 for each championship game played by it on said grounds. On National or State holidays, in lieu of such payment, the home club shall pay to the visiting club 50 per cent of the receipts from general admission at the close of each championship game. The Sporting News November 25, 1886 [N.B. This ended up being Sec. 61 of the NL Constitution. It was changed the following year to visitors taking 12½ cents per spectator, with a minimum guarantee of $150.]
