| Text | In response to the popular feeling, the local Players' League team has reduced its price of admission to 25 cents for all home games. The change will take place to-morrow [4/29]. doubtless the small attendance at recent games has hurried the change. The club directors have issued the following statement on the matter: “Now that the base ball championship season of 1890 has fairly opened, and the base ball loving public have had an opportunity to judge between the two clubs representing our city, it has been made manifest by the attendance at the games of the Players' League Club by a majority of 10 to 1, that that organization is the popular one, and since the National League Club has, after having used every means within their power to overthrow the Players' League here at last resorting to the only remaining subterfuge, a non-conflicting schedule, it has been determined by the Pittsburg Players' League Club to further popularize itself by the introduction of a 25-cent admission to its home games. This, which goes into effect on Tuesday, should be welcomed by all. |
