Text | As the receipts are to be divided, it will necessarily cause strict management and close observance to get all the money that will come in at each gate. All the clubs have experienced much trouble in keeping their players at the gates during the progress of a game, as they will invariably become so interested in the result that they will leave the turnstiles unprotected to witness the play. Though the cincinnati Club will have a man to accompany the team on all its trip s this season to look after the monetary matters, yet unassisted he will not be able to watch all the entrances. To make it an inducement for the players to guard the gates carefully, Mr. Stern has decided to give them extra compensation for the time they devote to this work. The players who are not in the game will take turns at the turnstile. By offering the extra inducement, President Stern hopes that the players will faithfully look after the interest of the club at the gates. |
