The one of tihese which tilled the hearts of the baseball magnates with Joy w«t when they learsnd from the five league cities In which games were play'd, the atteudanoe figures, it seems scarcely possible yet R Is none the less true, that more than 70,000 persons pall admission to live baseball games yesterday.
