[from the Louisville correspondent] President Davidson has made a very popular move. Henceforth admission to all parts of the grand stand will be only fifty cents. Until the present reserved seats sold for seventy-five cents, but now you can buy as many as you choose for fifty cents. Of course the visiting clubs will draw the same amount for each ticket as their percentage, and the home management will have to stand the reduction. President Davidson, however, thinks that the increased attendance will more than compensate him for the reduction in price. In this he is probably right. The seventy-five-cent rate has undoubtedly hurt the receipts very much, especially with the very bad ball that we have had.
