ssssTADIuM PRICES roo HIGH
That is Why the Attendance at olym.
 nic Games is so Small.

London, July 17.-There is no doubt that the prohihitive prices asked for seats at the Stadium are responsible for the poor attendance Uncovered seats opposite the winn- ing post cost $1.20. and the cheapest covered seats, from which q satis- factory view of the racing Is impos- sible, cost 70 cents.
 The other covered seats cost sf. 50 s2.50 and s5, and if a spectator wants 10 spend the day in the Stadi- um he has to pay half as much again. On the day of the Marathon race these prices will be doubled.
 Mir Sullivan. president of the American Amateur Athletic union, said to-day that the seats were empty owing entirely to the stupid fly of thei promoters, The admis- sion prices were not only ridiculous but impossible. He was willing to wager that the Stadium would be packed if SO cents was asked for a seat for the day of Issue. The man. agement was losing hundreds of pounds daily. If reasonable prices were charged the public would go 10 the Stadium.

BASE BALL NOTES.

The Elks' game tomorrow al Rockville.
 The fans who did not see that game yesterday were around town last night kicking themselves.
 The local Elks will present one oi their strongest llne-ups tomorrow when they face New Britain. They realize that in New Britain they have foeman worthy of their steel and they want that game badly.
 The sorriest man on the grand stand yesterday was Police Com missioner Harry Minor. He had to leave the game before 1t vas over to keep an appointment. He must have heard the yeIls of victory on his way to Cheshire.
 There was one other big score game played in this city this season, when Waterbury made even more runs than yesterday. On May l2 Bridgeport was beaten here by the score of 24 to l4. Waterbury scored ten runs in one inning of that game.
 Sillery got a At of the sulks when he was pulled out of that game yes teTday, after Stevens made his two bagger. And at that the ball that Stevens hit was a high one and under ordinary circumstances would have been called a ball. if he had not hit at it.
