Text	The all-absorbing topic at present in base ball circles in connection with the flop of the Alleghenys from the Association to the League is the 50-cent admission. The opinion of over a hundred of the principal patrons of the Allegheny club during the past season has been secured and they all declare that 50 cents admission will kill the game in this vicinity. Many had attended from four to six games a week. If the 50-cent fee is maintained a general boycott will certain by inaugurated. Pittsburgh patrons have generally had a great sufficiency of sport at 25 cents, and consequently look upon the doubling of the price as an outrage.
