Detroit Free Press: A correspondent
writes to say that he considers it dishonest
of the Detroit baseball management to
charge fifty cents to see game, and il
rain prevents play, to keep the fifty cents,
and give no return for it. The correspond
ent is wrong. II is not dishonest, as peo-
pie have fair warning that unfair weather
may keep the game from being played.
The spectator virtually bets fifty cents
with the management that it
won't rain. There is no question,
however, that the managers are very
in this matter, and they are
really very large losers by it. This was
well shown during the last two games with
Chicago. 1t threatened rain each day, and
there is little doubt that from 5000 to 5000
persons were kept away because they ex-
pected to lose their fifty cents. If it had
been announced that in case Of rain stop
ping a game before the fifth inning, checks
would be given to oil spectators who asked
for them, there is no question but
every seat would have been filed as they
we're the first day. The managers are
out from $4,000 to $4,000, and if they can
stand that, why should our correspondent
yrowl about fifty cents, which, after all, he
lid not Loser
