| Text | ...Messrs. Spalding and Von der Ahe have just concluded an interesting arrangement for a series of games between the Chicagos and the St. Louis Browns to decide the championship of the United States , and at the same time to give the players of the two clubs a substantial benefit. Each club puts in $500, and the players of the club winning the majority of the series of seven or nine games to have a purse of $1,000 The first game will be played in Chicago Oct. 15. The entire gate receipts will be given to the home players. The same clubs play in St. Louis Oct. 16, when the St. Louis players will take the proceeds. Games will then be played in Cincinnati, Louisville, Philadelphia, Washington, Indianapolis, and other cities, weather permitting. It is to be hoped that the players will enter into these games with the proper spirit, as they would into regular championship contests, thus giving the public excellent exhibitions and affording a basis for a partial settlement, at least, of the vexed questions of relative superiority. |
