Text | A motion was made by one of the western delegates to the effect that all professional clubs should charge a half dollar admission fee to all contests between professional clubs, and that the visiting club’s share of the gate money receipts should be one third. This proposition, however, was voted down, it being desirable that the clubs should be allowed to charge according to circumstances, and in ordinary contests 25 cents admission is ample in Eastern cities, while in the west the regular charge is half a dollar. There may be occasions, too, when the demand of admission may require the fee to be raised to one dollar. |
