MAJOR LEAGUERS SURE TO RAISE PRICE OF ADMISSION?OTHER SPORTS"
Fans Favor Ball Players9
Increase of Salary But,
Kick at Higher Admission
By GEORGE L. MORELAND.
"Say, what is this I hear about Jim Shaw holding out for more
money?" That question was handed me yesterday while I was try
ing to dig my way down to the office through a foot of snow.
The gentleman is one of the rabid fans, he must be, when he
wants to hold a fairfest with snow flying like it was yesterday.
"If Griff does not give the big fellow what he wants, then I think
the Fox is making' a mistake. The players, you know, must have
more money, as it costs so much more now to live."
Then he made a shift. It was this: "So we are to have the
prices raised at the old yard, are we? I read in the papers that the
magnates, when they get together at Chicago next week, are going
to boost the prices in all parts of the grounds. Robbers, that's what
they are."

of the letters contain a complaint.
Sow don't think they are complaining
about the club. It may surprise you
when informed that they are asking
that the price of tickets be advanced.
Sounds funny, don't it? But that is
exactly what President Griffith is
J up against today.
j Here are the reasons from the ma
jority of fans who ask that the price
be raised:
I We want to go to a game on a Sun
! day. Saturday or holiday, but can not
because we can not secure scats. It
is true that there are many reserved
: ne ts in the grandstand, but not near
[??nough to satisfy the many business
men who cannot get away like others
I who hHve an afternoon off and ran
! go early. These are the complalners.
those who can and are willing to pay
the extra price to have a few extra
seats reserved.
Griff Worried.
One banker, and he is one of the
i best known in Washington, wrote a
j letter to the club, making a request
that the first three rows of prats
; back of the boxes be reserved. This
1 would mean only about 600 scats,
i for which hundreds of Washington
ians would be willing to pay a pre
j mium of 25 cents to have the privilege
of sending to the places where re
I reserved seats are on sale and getting
what they went. That would give
them a chance to have a late dinner
at home and get to the grounds in
time to sec the game, not having
to ccr v. at 2 p. m. in order to
get a seat.
| Those .v the kind of letters that
! are giving President Griffith a lot of
worry. He would like to accommodate
everyone, but he does not wish to ad
vance the price, as that was what
caused the old leaders to get in Dutch.
But this is an entirely* different case
and coming from people *rho are reli
able it will be a different angle
j from the old one.
Maybe the new president will be re
lieved of any worry by this time next
week, and be instructed to accept the
offer of so many who are willing to
pay a little extra for games p'.aycd
on Saturday, Sunday or holidays. It
would not take away many seats, for
there would still be over 12.000 unre
served seats left for those who cannot
see the advance prices.
Another Shank* BooMer,
| Dear Sir: In The Herald I saw
I where our Soldiers' Home brother was
! speaking a word for "Honest Hank."
! There is not a man in the game that's
; a harder worker than he is. I will
say: I would rather see him in the
; game than any fielder on the club,
i Yours very truly,
I. E. MANUEL,
3020 Georgia avenue northwest.
Anson in Field.
J Capt. Anson, the old war horse, has
' sent out a letter, asking support from
club owners of both major leagues.
He has announced himself as a can
didate for chairman of the national
commission. President Griffith an
swered his letter, and stated that he
would be unable to support him. not
because he would not be a good man
for the position, but because he had
announced that he had a candidate
himself in the person of Maj. Bob
Young.
Griffith stated that he had voiced
his opinion for Young, and he would
not make a change, for he fully be
lieved the son of the late president
of the National League has an excei
; lent chance for the place.

SCIENCE AND RESEARCH.
The birds who used to paint the town red are now hopping around
trying to lick the paint off. ,
The lads who used to hoof around in the wee, small hours of the
morning are finding that the wee, small hours are wee-er and smaller
than ever.
The old conversation water is mute, stabbed by its own corkscrew.
The boys who formerly needed both sidewalks to get home can now
walk home on a sharpened chalk line. No more do they wrestle Greco
Rummy style with the lamp posts, winner take all.
There is no place like home, especially when there ain't any other
place.
Tough Job to 4 ich an old dog new drinks. You can't expect an
old hound to jump through a soda water straw when he's been used to
leaping through keg hoops. Prohibition has come to stay like a rela
tive-in-law. The stuff is gone that men used to put in their mouths
to steal away their brains. Prohibition has given men more power to
think with less to think about.
Science and research have grabbed the middle ring in the circus,
and there's very little going on in the other two circles. Every man
is studying chemistry, and every house has a scientific laboratory In the
cellar where a guy can study the chemical effect of raisins on rain
water.
America always has been a scientific country. A European discov
ered the theory of gravitation, but Wall Street stocks perfected the
idea. Childs was the man who discovered the unit of butter and the
singular of soup. Up until his time, soup was supposed to be plural.
1 Two hundred thousand American scientists are now in Cuba study
ing the quaint habits and customs of the Cubans, a race of alcohol
burners who are living in the manners and customs of the dark beer
ages. They are a thousand years behind civilization and prohibition.
They still think that the proper way to catch a dickey bird is to put
salt on its tall, but that a swalJow is something else again. Our in
domitable 200.090 missionaries will convert these benighted savages or
be converted in the attempt.
All our big universities are sending expeditions to Egypt to in
vestigate tenement conditions in the tombs of the Rameses brothers.
These Egyptologists will delve into the secret process of mummy pres
ervation and hope to solve the problem by personal experiments. Thry
: arc armed with gigantic steam corkscrews and hope to unearth long
: hidden cities wbich existed before the days of high saloon licenses.
All specimens found will be carefully preserved in alcohol.
Professor Bill Halligan will head a large party of economic experts
o{i a Canadian expedition for the purpose of studying the subterranean
life of the mysterious Rathskellarites, a race which flourished in the
United States many years ago. but migrated recently. The Keeley In
stitute is financing a squad of post-graduates, who will flap to Mada
gascar to investigate the Souse Sea Islanders, a people whose tribal
customs have amazed American students. They worship bungstarters,
and boil their victims in spirits ferment!. If that is being victimized,
all the Keeley boys want to be boiled out plenty.
But the best news of all is the dope that science has recently per
fected a hollow cable that will resist the tremendous pressure of water
at any depth. At one mile below the sea level, the terriflc pressure
will break a watch chain. At six feet above sea level in Yonkers, the
pressure of water will cause you to hock your watch chain.
With a hollow cable, stretching from Cuba to Weehawken and
points West, it is hoped to relieve the terrible water pressure that is
slowly squeezing American throats like a nut cracker squeezing a
lemon. Pardon the comparison.

Billy Earlf Signrd.
No catcher. Billie Earle was lying
loose, so Pittsburg signed him and
he caught almost every game until
Jake and Connie recovered. In the

did that year.
He also established a world's rec

An/ kind of a boon In tha higfe

general public haa kicked on th?
boosting of prices In every othei

boost In admission prices If tbej
will he renerou* enough to adopt

Ismi Hits Kids.
Any boost In present admission* i
which apply to the youngsters, tor
will lock the gatca In their faces
Only a few of them could afford *
quarter, and more thar a quarts
is prohibitive. For the good of t' <
game and for the sake of the young
aters the magnates should adopt s
lS-cent admission price and se
aside a portion of the paviliona fo
the youngsters on week dayt.
The man who is flrat to ann -un' t
himself in favor of thia plan
Bobby Quinn. manager of the fX
Louis Browns--vlrtna!ly head
that club- Quinn believes this "
a much better plan than to all< ?
certain classes of young^t'-rs tc
come to week-day games one* ul
twice a year.
Give Kids Vests.
?Tile kids of todav are the fant
of tomorrow." says Quinn. "1 hops
to eee a general admission price foi
the youngsters under 1! set at 11
cents and w<thcut any restrictions."
The average American fatbet
would rather his boy paid 15 centf
to see a game than to sign ?
proposition to get in for nothing
but with eentain reatrictiona tackec
on. And the averag boy of todaj
would not find It difficult to go oul
and earn the 15 centa to pay hit
own way. It will teach h' m t?
do uaefui thinga
The youngstera of today wll!
learn baseball in the park when
the big fellowa are playing an<
they'll be the fans of tomorrow
They'll get acquainted with th?
players and they'll become rea'
fana
I It would be easy to partition <?(!
'a section of the seats?say 1.000?
for the boys and put a big. good
natured policeman out there t< |
, watch over them.
I Wm for the youngsters and I
want to see as many of them a" ?
the games as care to come.
Baseball is America's nations
game It Is worthy of that title
Aa such It has ben recogniaed bj
the beat men of the land. It Is ?
healthy tonic for growing youn
sters and Its influence will maU*
ithem better men.
j The fans should insist on It. The
magnates ahould get behind tH
