| Text | [St. Louis vs. Athletic 5/24/1882] The presence of Weaver in the pitcher's “box” and O'Brien behind the bat steadied the entire nine. The Philadelphia Item May 28, 1882 spreading the news of the game In each of the eight league cities there are business men who, by a system of exchange, have arranged for the earliest possible intelligence. Upon the Worcester ball field yesterday there was a youth who, at the conclusion of each inning, ran to the telephone and informed the down-town agent of the result of the inning, who immediately telegraphed the news to Soper [in Detroit]. He...bulletined the same for the benefit of the public. And that wasn’t all. Over in one corner of the store a boy was kept busy answering telephone calls from all parts of the city, and as his answer was invariably “Ten to three in favor of Detroit,” it is a fair presumption that there was a similarity in the questions asked. Detroit Free Press June 2, 1881 marketing to the German language population of St. Louis Dave Reid of the St. Louis Browns has undertaken a big task.
