[from an interview of Von der Ahe] “Where would you like to see the games played?

“At Chicago and St. Louis. Let the series be five or nine games and let two or four games be played in each city. Then toss to see whether the odd game shall be played in either Chicago or St. Louis. It is nonsense to talk about going outside of those cities to play the games in question for it is only the local interest that brings out a crowd at that time of year. Last year we drew no one to speak of in the games with the Chicagos which we played in Pittsburg and Cincinnati, while those played here and in Chicago were well patronized.
