Like a clap of thunder came the resolu-
ton at the American League schedule
meeting yesterday afternoon at Detroit to
raise the general price Of admission to 80
cents.
1t brought Harry Goldman of Baltimore
and James Mcnamara Of Detroit to their
feet in an instant. and after heated argu-
ments compromise was effected making
prices %. 30 and Is cents. and creating q
new division of receipts.
In the past the visiting teams have been
given half OF the general admissions on the
basis Of 25 cents-that Is, 121a cents for
each paid person. Under the new order of
things the visitors will get 12n cents for
bleacher crowds and % cents each for
grand-standers, whether they pay 80 cents
or Is cents
The raise is said to be necessitated by
the high prices to be paid players this
year. and 1t was finally adopted by a
unanimous vote.
Nearly all of the cities announced that
new stands would be built at once. The
admission to the present grand stands will
be 10 cents. and new stands, which will be
more like covered blea chers, in that they
are along the base lines. will be half a
dollar.
No mention of the changing of the cir
cult came up a the session Yesterday, but
1t was admitted by several delegates that
the American League favors expansion,
and that there may be change in the fu-
ture President Johnsons salary was in
creased from 5000 to $500 a year
Schedule Adopted.
The schedule for the coming season was
adopted, and Messrs Postal and LOTUS
can be congratulated upon securing so
many good dates for the Senators. Last
year rain ruined the splendid chance for a
record-breaking attendance in Philadelphia
July 4. and this fact may have led to the
Washington club getting a reassignment
or the same day for the coming sea son.
Manager Manning last summer said that
they had to turn away at least 5000 people
In Philadelphia July 4. notwithstanding
that the rain was coming down in torrents.
With clear day the attendance would
have been something extraordinary
Many of the local fans who have seen
the schedule express qualification over the
oates assigned to the Senators. Memorial
day the Senators will have the champion
Chicago club as guests and stronger at
traction could not have been wished for
In addition the Senator's will get Labor day
IN Detroit. seven Sunday games on the
road and eleven Saturdays at home
The schedule starts Washington at home
with Boston, followed by PHILADELPHIA.
Ihen the Senators travel over to Boston
for four games and q a like number Of
games follow with the Athletics in Phila-
delphia. Then comes a series of eight
games with the Orioles, and there is no
ga1nsaylng the fact that the interest will
be at fever heat about that time At the
conclusion of that series the western clubs
Will follow In rotation on the local grounds
The other clubs holiday dates are as
follows: July 4. Baltimore at Boston, st.
Louis at Detroit and Cleveland at Chi
cago: Memorial day, Cleveland at BaIti-
more. St. Louis at Philadelphia and De-
troit at Boston; Labor day. Baltimore at
Chlcaso, Philadelphia at st. Louis and
Boston at Cleveland.
Regarding the subject of expansion Pres
ident Johnson says:
There will be no change in the Ameri-
can League circuit this year; of that I am
certain. The matter will not be considered
at the meeting. so far as I know, more
than informally"
