Text	[reporting on the NL special meeting 3/3-3/4/1886] The question of admission rate then came up and was earnestly argued. Philadelphia wanted the 25-cent agreement renewed for another season, and St.Louis and Washington wanted the same privilege. Mr. Day made a strong fight against allowing a reduction in the tariff. He said that if it was accorded to one club that it would be no more than right that all have the same privilege. He was backed up in his opposition by Mr. Spalding. The matter was laid over until the following day. … The admission rate question was settled, Philadelphia and St. Louis being allowed the twenty-five cent privilege and Washington and Kansas City refused. The two latter must therefore charge fifty cents at the gate.
