Text | The Players' revolt appears to be as disastrous to the interests of the game in the Association as in the League circuit. The attendance here [St. Louis] was bad last year, but it is frightful this year. There have not been 2,000 people at any Sunday game at Sportsman's Park this season, and the daily attendance has not averaged 400, this at 25 cents admission. An alleged turnstile count is posted at every game, but the figures are kept concealed in the turnstile and are usually double the actual number of people on the grounds. |
