| Text | The report that an admission fee of one dollar would be charged to the two games to be played in this city raised considerable dissatisfaction among the regular attendants at the games and a faint cry of hippodrome was heard. Presidents Stern and Von der Ahe have both sent communications to The Times in which they say that only fifty cents admission will be charged in this city. An admission fee of one dollar will be demanded at St. Louis and Detroit, where the great local interest attached to the struggle is expected to fill the grounds, and the patrons of the game in Chicago may be charged one dollar, but fifty cents is likely to prevail as the admission fee in other cities. The Philadelphia Times October 2, 1887 The price of admission to be charged will be one big dollar. This is a good sum to be obliged to put up to see a game of ball, but then the public want to see the series, and the two great aggregations would draw will if they were to charge two dollars admission instead of one.
