| Text | The patent turn-stile, one of the League requirements, will be in its position at the main entrance to the grounds. This turn-stile registers every person passing through it, and prevents unfair work at the gates. It tells exactly how many people have entered the grounds, and a division of the gate receipts is based upon its count. If it registers 2,000, the visiting club gets fifteen cents on each one of that two thousand. The stockholders of the club have season tickets, but they are required to pass through the stile and be registered as other people are. The visiting club thus receives fifteen cents even on the admittance of officers and stockholders of the home organization. Very few dead-head tickets will consequently be issued, and these few will be confined to the reporters of the daily papers. Louisville Courier-Journal May 10, 1877 over-aggressive base coaching [Hartford vs. Chicago 5/10/1877] No doubt Capt. Ferguson intends to comply with the playing rules, and he will therefore not be slow to order his men to respect the Captain’s line, fifteen feet from the foul line. Yesterday, on several occasions, when a man was running in from third, three men ran by his side, one inside the diamond, with evident intent to disconcert the catcher. The yelling no one objects to; it reminds one of Mart King’s best days. Will Mr. Ferguson please read to his men Sec. 7 or Rule 7? Chicago Tribune May 11, 1877 |
