[reporting on the IA convention] An innovation is the dividing-up of the money from entries [into the championship: $30 per club], like purses in a horse race,--one-half the money from entries will go to the first club, one-third to the second, and one-sixth to the third. This is the first case on record where an association in base-ball put up money instead of an emblem for competition.
