W
a FTER advertising that the regu-
"a lation prices would prevail at
both parks in the Yankee-Giant
series, the National Commission has
turned about and raised the price of
the seats and admission to both parks.
1t is eminently unfair to New York
fans. They have supported their teams
AL season, n now, because the in
terest is SO great, the commission,
probably prompted by the club owners,
advances the price of the 25-cent seats
to so cents. General admission will be the
same, so cents. The grand stand seats,
ordinarily rs cents, will cost 81 a throw,
while reserved seats will be sold at
$1.50 and box seats retail for 81. 1t
shows a greed and unfairness to the
public on the part of all who were
concerned in advancing the rates of
admission. 1t will surely hurt the
attendance, but, of course, not the box
Office.
Nap Lajoie has nothing to say con-
corning his eight hits made in eight
times at bat on Sunday, which have
been causing so much criticism, other
than that he believes that the opposi-
ton did their best to field the ball,
Newspapermen in st. Louis say that
1t was due to Lajoie's nerve in bunt-
ing and catching the Browns off their
guard that he was so successful. Man
ager OConnor says that he would Or
der no man to come in for a bunt whilej
Larry Is at bat, as Lajoie has injured
more than one man by smashing the
ball on just such occasions, with dis
astrous results to the fielder. Presi-
dent Navin, OF the Detroit Club, says
that he does not believe the ST. Louis
players tried their best to retire La
joie. Larry says that his time to speak
will come when the American League
asks for a statement, when he will
answer Navin. Ban johnson also has
his little say and announces that he
will not %countensce any more prizes
offered to American League players for
similar feats.
The registration committee of the
A. A. Z. desires to call the attention
of the athletes to the rules that are
in force, particularly these three:
Every club in this association ana
every athlete who has the interest of
the game at hear should assist the
committee in their efforts to discover
violations of the novice rule. IN fa-
ture the Handicapped will not receive
the entry of any athlete, belonging TO
one of the clubs of this association,
who desires to compete as a novice,
unless such fact is certified on the
entry blank by the officials of the club
to which he belongs.
Entry blanks should be made out in
-I - x,A 30 1Aa4twr NI-
Handicapped. Athletes should not at
tempt to obtain marks to which they
are not entitled. 1t is against the
spirit of the game for them to do so,
and a violation of the rules covering
the matter.
The provision regarding the filing Of
expense accounts by athletes who COM
pete out of town will be strictly ell
forced. All athletes are required to
file such account Immediately aft
they return to their homes.
o
Wisconsin faculty forbade Sidney
Anderson, one of it's students, to play
football this year. Anderson's parents
then d~ecided~to have him enter Yale
University at once. This seems to be
a case of where studies interfere with
bDOIlS cut Jul lnt StuolcS' We ioh I
know that college sport will be the
gamer boasting of such an exponent
as Anderson. 1t isn't likely that Wis
consin would bar hin if he were up
in hfs studies. The better the student
the better the athlete. should be the
rule, and from our experience such has
been found to be the case.

The automobile game among ball
players is a thing Of the past. Larry
can ride around in his auto to the
envy of his other baseball friends. Thu
National Commission will be foolish to
investigate matters ct st. Louis Sun
day because this contest has generated
a lot of situations that are not exactly
proper.
II Brooklyn doesn't nave a cham
pionship team next year, the Ebbetts
nine will at least have a champion on
it's roster. Outfielder Lejeune, who
broke Hatfeld's long-standing long
distance throwing record at Cincinnati
Sunday, wal drafted by Brooklyn from
the Evansville Central League team.
Lejeune is known to baseball players
as Larry, says Larry Sutton, though
his business Hancock" shows Sheldon
as his rname
Instead of telling the entire baseball
world how to run things generally, Ban
Johnson might turn his attention to
the Cobb-Lajoie batting race for the
