[Athletic vs. Cincinnati 6/13/1882] Over two thousand six hundred people paid to enter the grounds, and there were nearly two hundred ladies present. Ad to these the guarantors holding guarantors’ tickets, and the crowd footed up pretty nearly three thousand. This is actual count and no fancy figures set down on paper to look nice. Had it been a St. Louis crowd, the papers over there would have called it ten thousand, for they always multiply the real figure by three.
