| Text | The [World] series will open in New York and close in St. Louis. After deducting the expenses the receipts of the games will be divided, but whether the players will share in this division, and if so, in what proportion, is not stated. The price of admission will be $1. Where games are played on outside grounds 20 per cent. of the receipts will go to the ground owners, while the other 80 per cent. Will go to the two clubs. The Sporting Life October 10, 1888 Some changes were made during the past week in the arrangements for the world's championship series between New York and St. Louis. A great outcry was made over the high rate of admission, and so the following modifications were agreed to by Messrs. Day and Von der Ahe: General admission, 50 cents; grand stand, $1; reserved seats in certain sections of the grand stand, $1.50. One change of date had also to be made, owing to the demand of the Boston Club for 25 per cent. of the receipts of the game to be played in their city. This the contesting clubs would not concede, and the Boston game will now be played on the Polo Grounds. Under the arrangement, four games will be played in New York, four in St. Louis, one in Brooklyn and one in Philadelphia. The latter game will be played on the Philadelphia Club's ground, Mr. Munson having made satisfactory arrangement with the score card man. The Sporting Life October 17, 1888 |
