| Text | The [Cincinnati] management refused to let the report of the Cincinnati-Louisville game be telegraphed to the city yesterday, although the Western Union Company had an operator on the grounds. The theory, we understand on which this was done is that those who do not go to see a game should not have the benefit of it by innings. No other place in the country has ever carried out such a policy, and we believe it is more damaging than beneficial. The public will be generous to a generous policy. We merely mention this for the financial good of the Club because he have heard a number declare they would not support a picayunish management. We are free to say this is a mistake, and believe it will be corrected. Cincinnati Enquirer May 15, 1877 We are informed that we were wrong yesterday in saying that no other place in the country prohibits the telegraphing of scores from the grounds to pool-rooms in the city. We understand that in no city is it allowed, and that the management here are simply carrying out a policy practiced in every other city where there is a Club. Cincinnati Enquirer May 16, 1877 |
