Another desirable change was made in adopting the following amendment:

The admission-fee to all championship games played between clubs belonging to the National Association shall be twenty-five cents, and the visiting club shall be entitled to receive for each such game so played the sum of $75.

By this rule the home-club receives all benefit of its power to attract large crowds on its own grounds, the visiting club taking no share of the receipts whatever, but only its $75 guaranty.
