Text	To show how wild guesses of base ball crowds sometimes are we refer to the reports of the Cincinnati Athletic Decoration Day game. Some of the papers estimated the crowd in attendance at 16,000, yet the receipts showed just 9,761 people. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette June 13, 1883 a foul tip double play [Chicago vs. Providence 6/12/1883] Gilligan and Start delighted the 1,470 spectators in the third inning by make [sic] a rattling double play. Flint had hit safely, and, just as he attempted to steal to second, Pfeffer went out on a foul tip, and before Flint could return to the base Gilligan had given Start the ball, and the runner was declared out.
