RAISED TO MEET STRAIN
American League Grand Stand Seats
Will Cost IS Cents This
Season.

Ban Johnson and his baseball league
took on some more airs at the meeting
of the American lee que yesterday. The
obese chief of the organization had his
salary boosted from $4,000 to-. $500.
Formerly he was very content to have his
salary raised $500 at time, but now
that he is at the head Of a major league
$500 is only bagate]le. An interesting
query for the men who pay him is as
to the probable limit he will demand.
In order to pay MIR. Johnson's salary and
other expenses the prices of admission
were raised. The "bleacher" rate was
left~at 20 cents, but the grand stand was
cent seats will be erected on all grounds.
Philadelphia is exempted from the, gen.
eral schedule on account of the National
league competition. Detroit and Baltl-
more opposed the increase in prices but
were finally brought into line.
The Schedule.
The playing schedule for the coming
season was decided upon as follows:
AT CLEVELAND.
