| Text | The annual meeting of the Boston Base Ball Association [sic: should be BBB Club] was held in Hampshire Hall, Wednesday evening, when the President’s report stated that there are 108 members on the roll of the association. He suggested that the number be increased to 200, and that instead of season tickets there should be issued tickets good for fifty games... ... The matter of the charges made that certain games last season had been sold by the Boston Club was informally discussed at the meeting, and the charges were emphatically denounced as false and malicious.... Boston Journal December 4, 1873 The president alludes in his report to the alternations of hope and fear, success and failure which have marked the past season, and congratulates the club on the realizatio of their highest hopes. ... Mr. John C. Haynes, treasurer, reported that the receipts for the past year from membership dues, etc., amounted to $2700[?], and that the amount paid over to the association was $2000[?], leaving a balance of [illegible] on hand. ... A discussion then sprung up on an inquiry from a member as to the amount of stock held by the officers of the club, and whether the seventy-eight shares held by the association as against the seventy-two held by the club did not place the control of the club and all its affairs in the hands of the association. A member suggested that the question was one of no moment. He was satisfied with the management of last year and has no objection to have the same condition of affairs continue. Without arriving at any definite action, the subject was dropped. Boston Daily Advertiser December 4, 1873 The sum of $2730, received from membership fees, was voted to the Boston Base Ball Association. Boston Evening Transcript December 4, 1873 |
