so long that the fans of other cities

VIGOROUS PROTEST
At SALE OF SEATS
!. TO SPECULATORS,
Fans Want to Know Why
They Did Not Get Bet
ter Treatment.

Clamorous fans are putting up a wall
today, anxious to know the why, how,
and wherefore of wild speculation in
connection with the selling of reserved
seats for the big game today"
They want to know why seats are SELL
ing for from s. to $40 apiece; how they
were diverted from the hands of those
who really love baseball into the hands
of those who found ardent love for base
ball for the money that's in It, Just
how 1t was all done is>interesting Is and
sidelights thrown on the sharks show
how many Of the shrewd ones are richer
today by many dollars. -
The Washington baseball club got
none Of the profit, but those who are
fortunate in having the pasteboards to-
day paid good hard money for them and
got them after they had passed through
three or four hands. Spectators played
caring games In many instances and
got away with 1t all too easily.
The trick worked with great tre-
auency yesterday was the famous
double into line" Purchasers would
buy the slotted eight seats at the Ma
tional Theater box office and come
around the brass rail for another lot.
Messenger boys with large commissions
repeated time after time. Others took
paper and signing fictitious names pre-
sented these at the box office and get
ting the tickets.
woman DouDleS the Line.
One woman was able to work a slick
trick for a speculator. She was recog-
nized by a speculator who approached
her and bought her off. The woman
then ascended the steps with the line
doubled five times, got forty tickets and
turned them over to the speculator who
sold each ticket for 81 to a man who
bought many of them and later sold
them at from 81 to $3.50 eacn.
Boxes went at as high as $685. One
man starting with but $40 cleaned up
profit of SIS in less than an hour
The method he employ ed was unique.
Selecting kid out of the crowd, he
handed him money and boosted him
through the window of the National
Iheater. The youngster doubled q
couple of times slipping into line by
reason of his small stature.
Learning that manager of one of
the theaters that had been running one
OF the electric score boards had sent
in for block Of seats one Of the more
shrewd spectators faxed a couple of
signatures and obtained a block of
list of names and got the tickets with
out question.
Box Seats Go High.
Box seats were selling for from 81 to
IS last night. finding ready purcha sers
VINO took the chance Of selling them at
SO this morning. Today there are few
reserved seats on the market. and box
seats cannot be had.
In front Of the National Theaters ycs-
terday, one shrewd Spectator bought
ur seats at 50 apiece. and sold them ut
from Sc to 81 twenty minutes later. At
one Of the stands where the seats were
put on sale. fans who had stood in line
tor hours, were told that the supply
had been exhausted. ard it was an
nmnced that many cf the seats had
been disposed uf on Saturday to friends.
