AMERICAN BALL LEAGUE
III DECIDES ON 20, 80 AND 20 CENTS
As ADMISSION PRICES,
Raises President Ban JOhnsOn's SAL
airy to $500 Year and Adopts
"a Playing Schedule.

DETROIT, March 5.-By unanimous vote
the magnates of the American League this
afternoon adopted resolutions fixing the
admission TO the baseball grounds in all
cities except Philadelphia at %. 80 and 20
cents for bleacher, pavilion and grand
sand. respectively, and increasing President
Ban JohnsOns salary from 5000 per annum
to $500. They also adopted the schedule
for the season.
The morning session was devoted entirely
to consideration of the schedule prepared
by President Johnson and it was taken up
again Immediately after luncheon and
adopted.
J. F. Kilfoyle, of Cleveland, then offered
a resolution increasing the price of admis-
sion to the grand stand in all cities except
Philadelphia to 10 cents and providing for
the erection of a pavilion in each city In
which the admission should be so cents.
General admission to the bleachers was left
at % cents at present. AS has always
been the rule in the National League, Phil
sdelphia was excepted from this change of
prices and the admission there left at %
and 80 cents. The increase was opposed by
the Detroit and Baltimore owners and
long debate ensued over the matter. De-
trOit and Baltimore were finally won over,
| however, and the resolution was unam-
mOusly adopted. Under the new arrange
ment the visiting club will get 1212 cents
from each general or bleacher admission
and % cents from each pavilion and grand
stand admission.
The discussion of playing rules for next
season not reached to-day, but there
seems to be a unanimous sentiment among
the magnateS In favor or readOptng last
years rules comparatively without change,
and it is expected this will be done to-
/ morrow.
