Charles Town team made proposition
to the Hagerstown team. that each
team should place the sum of $40 as

city, then take their share OF the gate
receipts. At this proposition. the
Hagerstown team had the slight nd-
vantage, rs the fare on the railroad il

for the Hagerstown team to place $40

notified of Manager Hartle's PROPOSE
ton, but they said that 1t was entirely
out of reason. and that tliev would
place 10 more than $40 as a guarantee.
