| Text | The fact is, we are in the midst of hard times; and half a dollar is more to us now–and will be for a year or two to come–than even a dollar was before the panic; and to this fact, mainly, is the falling-off in the attendance at matches during 1874 due. That there has been a loss of attraction through the doubt of fair and legitimate play between some nines, in unquestioned; but the main cause is the inability to meet the expense of witnessing two or three games a week at half a dollar admission. Most assuredly this cause has affect the attendance at matches in Philadelphia and New York, if not in Boston, Hartford and Chicago; and it will be well for club-managers this coming spring to think well on the subject of a reduction of the tariff of admission to championship contests during 1875. |
