| Text | President Von der Ahe is anxious to have all the small boys in town attend the Brown Stocking games, and he wants to admit them for twenty five cents, allowing the visiting team fifteen cents for every one that passes in. He telegraphed President Wickoff about the matter yesterday, and the latter gentleman replied that all admissions were fifty cents, boys and men the same price, and that children in arms should be admitted free. This thing of charging a boy fifty cents admission will not work and a reduction ought to be made. A large number of youngsters have always attended the games in this city [St. Louis], and while they are willing to pay twenty-five cents very few of them can must up half a dollar for each game. … {The Athletic Club has decided to adopt a half-rate for boys without asking the consent of its fellow clubs, claiming a constitutional right to do so. In view of President Wikoff's decision, quoted above, the club is likely to get into a controversy about the matter.--Ed.} |
