eventually TO increase the receipts.
Doubtless it had this effect. and further
more. it fostered r friendly feeling and
gave the management an appearance OF
being a little less grimly mercenary than
their attitude has seemed TO be this year.
A man Of very humble means might take
his wife to the grand stand rather fire.
quently at a total cost Of 70 cents each
time. But when II would cost him $50
and he can see the game from the
bleachers for 25 cents he will be very
wise TO add SIS to the family exchequer
and let the baseball management have
only quarter instead Of the 10 cents
they could secure by a little intelligent
show OF generosity" And, besides. the
grand stand would look better fun than
two-thirds empty
-. The y cent accommodations are, of
course. inadequate. The real baseball en-
thusiast wants to see three or four games
a week while the team is at home. and
g or even g per week for such a purpose
is more than most Of the youngsters. or
oldsters. either. ought to pay. To make
matters worse. the "bleacher" gates are
closed this year as soon as a certain lin
tied number OF tickets have been sold.
and the man who has too much to do to
waste his time by coming early must
either pay higher price or 20 away.
BY this dainty form OF graft on a few
occasions this year. when grand stand
and pavilions were crowded. Iatecomers
have been obliged to pay 50 cents. and
even 70 cents, for the poor privilege Of
standing on the grass in left field to see
part Of a game. II a man is willing to
pay Is cents to stand by the fence in right
field beyond the bleachers he ought to be
permitted to do It. To force him TO pay
more is form Of petit larceny.
Il believe the owners Of our club ara
trying to give US good team; I believe
they have. in fact. already done so. and
that they viii make II better. The game
Is popular here. and II can be made more
so. II seems to me the features which
can properly be criticised are faults
which can easily be corrected, and the
matters which I have mentioned are the
subject Of almost daily unfavorable COM
ment among the most faithful patrons OF
the game and well-wishers OF the club
