We are requested to state that this year the strictest rules will be enforced in regard to the reporters’ stand. Heretofore, players, hangers-on of newspapers and “bummers” generally have dahsed up and occupied the seats long ere a game has commenced, and when those whose business calls them there arrived they found difficulty to get a seat, and were annoyed throughout the game by the yells, laughter and boisterous conversation of the intruders. These fellows may now take notice that they will be refused admission, and if they should slip in will be ejected as soon as discovered. The stand will be reserved exclusively for those actively engaged in scoring, and these “bummers” may now take notice and save themselves mortification and hurried exits, as a person will be stationed on the stand with full police authority.
