PRESIDENT MINOR
AGAINST THE PASS
Announces That Free Admission
to Climbers Park Is Thing of
Past for This Season.

When you go TO see the Climbers night
ing for the 1918 pennant at the Florida
avenue baiIiwick you will have to pay
your way into the park. This is the
mandate of President Ben Minor, and
he is backed up by the stockholders to
a man.
THE pass nuisance will be abolished
this season." says Minor. IF Washing
ton is to have a club conducted on busi-
ness principles, IL must take in money at
the gate. That's the only way to be
able to go out and make fight for any
pennant honors. 1t costs lot OF money
to pay salaries to players. to erect a
handsome stadium and to care for 1t
properly. The stockholders Of this club
have decided TO run things properly next
summer. and the first thing to be wiped
out is the free list.
Its all well to boom baseball with
mere talk. but the man who pays to
see the game Is the real fan. after all.
He is entitled to good players and all
the honors possible from good playing.
The deadhead isn't entitled to anything
whatever, and we have decided to do
business only for the real fans"
President Minor is now preparing for
the coming campaign. The club will
have one of the best-kept parks In the
American League circuit No expense
will be spared to make the fans COM
Portable, and Manager Griffith will be
allowed to spend money In any way he
sees flt, IL it will bring the right results.

THE Athletics should win the PEN

current OF feeling that at no far dis
