Although the sky was overcast with the threatening clouds which promised rain at any moment, the crowd began to arrive early, and continued to pour through the gates until long after the game was well under way. The attendance was slightly larger than yesterday, the receipts of the day being $2,500. This made the total amount won by the St. Louis Club by the result of the game $13,910.20, of which sum $6,365.85 was taken in at Chicago, and $6,365.85 at St. Louis. … [at 2:15] the Chicagos marched upon the field and were warmly received by the audience, which, by this time packed the free seats and comfortably filled the grand stand.
