and issued four passes. However,
it was Hartner's first appearance
against league batters and he was
naturally a bit fiurried. The lad
has a peck of stuff-and the south
paws fatal gift of wildness.
THESE two games with the Sol
diers have doubtless demon
strated wildly that there isn't any
use in charging admission to one
sided exhibition games.
Southern fans will not turn out
a full company to see the worlds
champions play. And they don't
turn out a corporars guard for
anything else.
In the first game with the Sol
diers a man was paid $3.50 10
handle the bleacher gate-and took
in two quarter tickets. Both games
were played at loss.
My personal suggestion to the
association is 10 make games like
that free to the public and charge
the expense TO advertising The
more fans who are brought out
to the early games the more fans
will get the baseball habit. And
as everybody knows, a fan is
creature of one-third love OF the
game and two-thirds habit of go
ing to the park.
