Inquiry at the Chicago Club headquarters establishes the fact that the local press have almost invariably underestimated the attendance at the ball games this season. The only exception has been in the case of the big crowds, which have been overestimated. The attendance on the Fourth of July was placed between 9,000 and 10,000, whereas it was between 6,000 and 7,000; but in guessing at every crowd below 2,000 the reporters have placed the figures too low. Turnstile figures are never given to the press in Chicago, but President Hulbert is authority for the above statements.
