scale means increased business. We
have spent big money TO get big re-
suits. Profits will enable us to spend
money for flrst-class players and that
means more profits II we have a win
ming team.
Baseball is the publics luxury. It
is an entertainment provided at
cheaper rates than other forms of
money making amusements. II we
can afford the finest accommoda-
tions at Ebbets Field to see National
league championship games we will
expect q better quality In patronage.
The two New York clubs will play at
the Polo Grounds to a greater ca
pacity than the Brooklyn club can
provide. yet il is true that the prices
of seats at the Brush stadium are
practically the same as those we have
fixed upon at our park. We have
5000 open stand seats at so cents a
head, which. In our opinion, will sup
ply the demand. The Brooklyn club
has spent it's own money to furnish
the public with the best plant in
America and the time is at had when
some OF ii must be recovered"
Nothing has been overlooked in
planning for the comfort of the fans
at Ebbets Field. A novelty will be an
umbrella room" The management
has made arrangements to buy sew
eral thousand umbrellas which will
be loaned to patrons on twenty
five cent deposit on days when rain
storms suddenly spoil the fun. Eb-
bets says he is willing to try this
experiment IL only to learn how many
persons will forget 10 bring the
tents" back. a check room also will
be a feature, so that patrons can
leave their bundles, coats, bags and
umbrellas in the care of a polite at
tendant. Many persons inspected the
stadium yesterday. The Brooklyn
clubs officials formally took posses
sion OF the new Offices over the TO-
tunda. Among the visitors were Sec
rotary Thomas G, Davis. Of the New
York Americans, who went over the
plant from top to bottom.
Ebbets will throw the park open 10
the general public on Saturday, Sun

steamer for New Orleans on Satur-
day for rest of two weeks.

MEMORIAL PROGRAM

Last night in Aiurphy's hotel the
first formal meeting Of the John Dunn
memorial entertainment committee
was held, Matters connected with
the performances to be given at the
Academy Of Music next Tuesday af-
ternoon and night were discussed.
The most important proceeding of
the meeting was the planning Of the
program, and from the outlook the
entertainment will be one of the best
ever given by any organization in
Richmond. Among the many acts
will be that Of Happy" Grant, of Old
Dominion Amusement company fame,
with headquarters at the Colonial
theatre. He will offer his best mono
logue skit, and as playgoers know the
abilities OF Mr.. Grant as a comedian.
his act should prove a great drawing
card.

sional minstrel and comedian. viii
act. He has accumulated lot Of
original jokes and songs, ana he Is
certain to make a hit.
Another feature will be wrest-
ling match between George Her
bert. holder OF the lightweight cham
pionship belt. and Frank Morano, who
is capable OF giving Herbert lively
time.
Two young ladies have volunteered
to show their ability in singing and
dancing. In the way of a boxing bur
lesQue, Bottoms and Cheatham will
do few stunts. Another burlesque
will be pulled off by the Mancinno
brothers. Joe" Bernstein will be
there with his feet. and as he has
learned several new steps, his act will
be interesting.
Honey Boy" Harry Hotchkiss will
give his famous imitation Of Honey
Boy Evans.
The committee has only started
booking the acts. and one Of the Off
GERS said; We viii endeavor to give
the people their moneys worth. and

Second Squad from

The Athletics and Greys teams, the

made big hit with the fans last
last night on the fourth night Of the
Richmond bowling tournament.
They failed to overcome the lead
held by the Coolers and Cockades in
Wednesday nights match, but they
played a good, consistent game, and
will finish well in the prize running.
The Greys' team went into second
place In the Class c division. while
the Athletics jumped in fourth place.
Several changes were also made in
the double and single events. Captain
Goode, of the Times-Dispatch team,
made a fine showing, and finished in
second place in the individual event
in last nights series. E. Barksdale
went into second place in the Class G
individuals, while DIR. Gill finished
third in the same class.
Tonight the Olympic and Sn1ashers'
teams will take the alleys. These two
teams are considered the strongest in
Petersburg, and many changes are
expected.

The leading car makers OF the
United States who have not yet per-
haps publicly announced their deci-
sion to offer wire wheels to such Gus
toners as desire them, have been
making tests. The two most impor-
tant makers in this country, so far
as the quality of their product is con-
cerned, have been conducting extern
sive tests with these wheels. In the
factory of one of them high-priced
British car so equipped has been I'M
der observation for long time. both
from the point of view of mechanical
design and also testing the worth of
the wheels A good many companies
have started to build these wire
wheels Wire wheels in this country
have not been adapted from the Eng
lish model without some improve
ment. For instance, there is one type
made here that has a demountable
rim device.
This differs materially from the
English practice where the idea is to
carry single spare wheel, or possibly
two spare wheels, complete, and
change the whole wheel when there
is blowout or puncture. This in
wolves carrying a slightly heavier out
fit than will be the case IL the Ameri
can idea of a demountabie rim wire
wheel attains great popularity. The
idea of carrying only complete
wheel has its disadvantages where a
car has different tire sizes front and
rear. AS IA matter of good sense and
good design il Is often desirable that
the car should have smaller tires in
front than in the rear. but If ii were
necessary with a car of this kind to
carry as many separate wheels as
would be likely TO be needed IL would
mean draping them all over the ma
chine.
There are some advantages in
equipping q car with wire wheels out

can he small doubt that most persons
approve of the attractiveness of this
outfit and the touch of elegance that
II gives With wire wheels il is claim
ed that tire lasts considerably long

as much as 30 per cent longer life to
tire because of greater resiliency
and the quicker dissipation OF heat

wire wheel Then, too, the wire wheel

Something About
Current News of

THE Littlest Rebel" is chiefly In
teresting for the wonderful child part
which Edward Peple wrote, despite
the great acting of Dustin Farnum. 1t
takes an equally wonderful child to
play the part, too. When 1t Is pre-
sented here next Thursday night for
the first time the litter Of superlative
adjectives around the Academy will

sweep them up.

old scenes are almost as thrilling as

dying master to conceal the truth
about the white slave; the foiling of
the william when the white slave es-
capes; the burning Of the steamer;
the island; Nance seeing the ghost
OF her old master and the rescue of
the hero and heroine-my! but It's a
great drama and worthy the eulogy
delivered by Billy Baxter some years
ago.
The Daughter OF Heaven" was not
the biggest financial success New York
ever knew, but as a lavish production
1t made even the sophisticated sit up

the principal role and this great
Chinese drama by Pierre Lott and
Marguerite Gautier will be seen at

HIGH COST
DEPLORED BY EBBETTS

NEW YORK. March 13--Presi-
dent Ebbet's topic for the daily lee
tuFe at the Brooklyn clubs new
stadium yesterday was The High
Cost of Baseball" Having spent,
with the assistance Of his partners.
Steve and Ed McKeever, nearly 5000
600 TO provide Brooklyn fans with
an up to date plant. Ebbets believes
that he is well qualified to discuss
the subject from every angle. Eb-
bets is sttCkler for the rules and
the constitution of the National
league. but he believes that they can
be oheyed without working a hardship
for the Brooklyn club. A clause in
the leagues constitution provides for
twenty-five cent seats, but the num-
Der is not stipulated. Neither is
there a penalty fixed for the failure
to set aside such cheap vantage
points. Ebbets, therefore, announced
during his discourse that he had not
made up his mind how many twenty
five cent seats would be at the dis
posal of the fans-there might be
none at all. or. perhaps, half dozen
would suffice. At any rate the
lief that If he eliminated the quarter
chairs altogether the league could
not impose discipline
Besides II viii be to the benefit
of the visiting clubs TO have no more
twenty-five cent seats" continued Eb-
bets, for without them the other
clubs viii receive % cents for every
paid ticket recorded by the stiles in
stead of getting 2 1-2 cents for the
quarter admissions. In these DAYS
Of baseball stadiums and high salaried
bali players an increased revenue is
necessary to keep out of bankruptcy.
~ we carried out the old policy of
charging 25. so and rs cents we would
lose thousands Of dollars. For that
reason we have been compelled TO
raise our tariff all around.
For our box seats. of which there
are l,s0o we will charge a uniform
price Of $3.50 each. We will reserve
5000 seats down stairs and as MANY
more in the upper tier at 81 each.
The grandstand at old Washington
park accommodated a triife more than
5000 persons at rs cents each, but
We have $500 seats at the same
price in the lower tier OF our new
