Up til Friday last the Athletic had sold 84,000 tickets this season. Enough money has been taken in to pay the expenses this year, and $5,000 have been deposited in bank towards a nine for next year. After July 4 the management, Messrs. Simmons, Sharsig and Mason, gain control of the lease of the ground. Their first action should be to abolish the sale of beer on the ground. The stand there now is an eyesore and source of much complaint from the respectable element attending the games. The League Prohibits all liquor selling. The American Association should do likewise.
