[from a letter to the editor] I witnessed a game on the Union Grounds, Brooklyn, last season, the admission to which was 50 cents. About one-third the crowd remained outside until the third inning, when they were very glad to admit them at 25 cents a head. I hear that at the last game in New York, between the Atlantics and Red Stockings, that the former were anxious to charge 25 cents, knowing by that course they would be able to make more money; but Harry Wright very foolishly refused to agree to that plan.
