Georgetown Base Ball Management
Alters ,p1Ans.

Manager Stuart Of tho Georgetown
University base ball team yesterday an
nounced that he had made numerous
changes in his plans for the year, all
of which he believes will add to the
popularity Of the nine. The one. how
ever. that will strike the public most
is the lowering Of the price OF admis-
sion for all OF the small games.
Heretofore half a dollar has been
charged for every contest on the seized
ule. and 1t was never taken into con-
sideratfon that there was a vast differ
ence between a gams with one of the
big northern colleges and with one OF
the smaller schools Of this vicinity.
Realizing that such a difference exists,
the new management has decided to
charge but quarter to the minor bat
ties, and such scale will DO inaugu-
rated at Saturdays game with the Mary
land Aggies. 1t will also hold for next
Wednesday's battle with the Catholic
University. but the following Saturday
the old price win have to be charged on
account OF the enormous guarantee paid
to Yale.
