| Text | A good deal has been asked about the price of admission to games this summer. The American Association refuses to set any fixed general price, but wisely leaves the question to home clubs, to regulate each to suit itself. In Cincinnati the club will put it within everybody’s power or means to see games. The grand stand will be set at fifty cents, and the covered pavilion down the south side at thirty-five cents. Over on the east side, where the uncovered benches are, will be a twenty-five cent division. A separate gate will admit to this part of the ground and division fences will cut it off entirely from the out part. Another gate will admit all who hold thirty-five or fifty cent tickets, and the latter will have to pass a second gate-keeper at the entrance to the grand stand. These divisions are made to accommodate all classes. No beer, liquors or cigars will be allowed in the grand stand, where an attendance of ladies will be especially invited. The desire is to make this division of the ground so attractive and inoffensive that ladies will find it a pleasure, as they did some years ago, in patronizing the game. The thirty-five cents admission to the Pavilion will allow a man to attend the game, pay street-car fare and get a glass of beer for fifty cents. The area for a twenty-five cents admission will be nearby accommodation to the best part of the field to see a game, the only difference from the other sections being a lack of roof or covering. It is likely that for the Fourth of July games a fifty-cent admission will be charged to all parts of the grounds. It is proposed to open the championship season May 2, with a band of music on the ground. |
