I've seen set-ups like this before in old photos, but always thought they were just outdoor boards that were there to view for free. But they were free, weren't they? I mean, there's the display right downtown for everyone to see. And the full details in the Evening Telegram was stuff you couldn't put on a board anyway--the game write-up, the sportswriters ragging on McGraw for playing Beals Becker instead of Josh Devore, etc. That's what I thought, and always thought. But reading that article and seeing the admission prices in the photo makes me think they somehow made it so only payees could be in front of that board. That does appear to be outdoors. Went over that article again (really a very good read) after the game and it looks like they did have free versions of these. I guess the papers figured they would draw a crowd. Two years later, newspapers, themselves, got into the act, starting with Joseph Pulitzer�s The World in New York. They erected a ball-field diagram with holes for colored, numbered pins representing the players. It quickly attracted a crowd estimated at about 6,000 people (the pic above), blocking traffic on the nearby Brooklyn Bridge.
