The manager of the Philadelphias are making vigorous efforts to obtain the consent of the other clubs in the league to reduce the price of admission from fifty cents to twenty-five cents. They agree to give the visiting club 40 per cent. of the gross receipts instead of 30 per cet., as they now get. The managers say if they are allowed to do this they can fill the now empty benches. The cheap admission to association games has made sad inroads on the incomes of the league teams, and it is intimated that by next season both organizaitons will charge but twenty-five cents admission.
