[from Harry Palmer's column] I met him [Fred Pfeffer] at the Grand Opera House the other evening for a moment and asked him what the outlook was for the score card privileges this year. “First rate,” was the reply. “I have only made a preliminary skirmish since I closed the contract with Mr. Spalding and I have already secured over $2,000 for the season. I shall remain here for a week or ten days to continue at work upon the card, and from present prospects I should say that I will have a rattling good thing in it.” Pfeffer has a good address, is a good talker and very widely known here, so that I think under his management the score card should prove a source of increased revenue to the club, and of a very neat little income to the second baseman himself.
