billiards was frowned upon by well meaning parents and denounc ed by clergymen That time Is in wide contrast to the present time when the younger element is not uiged to play the game but many thousands of homes in this country are provided with smaller than regulation tables where the children of the households are taught the first principles of this fascinating pastime Billiard tables and bowling alleys are now an im portant part of the equipment of hundreds of church clubs And the reason tor the change Is that the home and the church have come to look upon this game as akind of moral uplift for the youth The first essential of the game is temperance To play good billiards one must be In splendid condition physically and mentally A shaky hand cannot hold a cue a bluned eye cannot see the ball a clouded No clearer or more positive illus tration of the extraordinary Inter est taken by the public In the an nual championship series of baseball games can be desired than that furnished by a glance at the financial results a state ment of which announc ed at the end of each post season competition for the coveted title and flag Through the box offline Its popu larity can easily be measured Compared with the meager returns at the Initial series In 1884 the enormous crowds registered by the clicking turnstiles show that by leaps and bounds the attendance In recent years has assumed such gi gantic proportions that there is no telling what it may amount to In years to come The first championship games be tween the Providence Grays and the Metropolitans may have been only lightly attended and there is nothing on record to show what the receipts amounted to for the three games then played as Providence won three straight The following year however when seven games were played In four different cities Chicago St Louis Pittsburgh and Cincinnati the financial result was about 32000 That year the fight waa a hot one between the Chicago Nationals and the American asso ciation club of St Louis and one can hardly would be the yield just now if such a series were possible over a similar cir cuit Some Difference 1b Prices Of course in those days seats tn the bleacher couia ne "two bits" and the best the grand stand brought price of half a dollar theso rates there could hiwn frnm fho result prices have soared so that a single admission costs a dollar or rath that is the face value of the little cardboard and the holder of one of these is considered lucky If it has not cost him more than thrice that amount In 1837 when Detroit and St Louis played fourteen games In nearly a dozen cities the receipts amounted to 142000 about 13000 a game which was then considered a large amount me nuiowuif 124362 was taken in for the Sames played by New York
