Text | The Western papers were complaining after their first eastern tour that Hartford was a poor place to play ball in, the gate receipts being so small. This complaint comes mainly from Cincinnati papers, and came with poor grace from the representatives of a city of about 250,000 inhabitants who gave the Hartford club only $220 as its share of the gate receipts, and paid to the Athletic club $7, and to the New Haven club $5, as their share in games played. |
