MUCH INTEREST BEING SHOWN

A great deal of interest is being shown

Association Football league. 1t will be
a hard fought game from start to fin

stars of the separate divisions, and they
are training hard for the struggle. The
public should respond to this call Loyalty,
as the proceeds will go to widows and
orphans of the late mine disaster at Ae-

The association football league has been
formed about two years, and it is COM

spectators point of view.
The ball is never touched by the hands
of the players with the exception of goal
keeper, who is allowed to throw, kick or
knock the ball. The ball is very dexter
ously handled with the feet, head or
shoulders, and this brings out a great
deal of science and skill.
The Birmingham Baseball association
have kindly donated the use of the Rick
wood field for this occasion. and the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company will furnish car for the band.

NUMBER OF EXAMPLES
EXISTING IN MINORS
Grand Rapids Club Owners Pull Prize
Bone When They Erected New
Plant-Many Try to
Run Club

Washington, December 20.-Not all
the "boneheaG plays" in baseball are
pulled by bail players, although that
is the kind that gets the most adver-
Itising. Some of them are credited to
the club owners by President Louis
Heilbronner Of the Central league, who
mixed up. with club owners, big and
little, most OF his life.
What the Fort Wayne purveyer of
carefully prepared dope believes to be
one of the most costly mistakes Of
the club owners in the minor leagues
is providing too many accommoda tions
FOR the cheaper class of patrons and
net making those accommodations good
enough to satisfy the two-bit fans.
Prepare for Big Days
The average minor league promoter,
when he plans his stands. builds them
too large for the average crowds, Of
course, so as to have accommodations
for the bigger days, although some-
times these are inadequate, necessitat-
Ing an overflow. That is all right, but
the plans usually call for proportion
ate accommodations for all classes Of
I1'dlIOhSt Wien DtlleI
would be to provide sufficient seats 20
take care of a little more than the
average two-bit attendance and build
larger grandstands.
The argument is that the full ca
pacity is needed only 10 or a dozen
times in a season perhaps, and on such
occasions it is just as easy to fill a
large grandstand and small bleachers
as it is to fill little grandstand and
big bleachers. The larger days, like
Sundays and holidays, bring out the
occasional patron. who Is willing and
can afford to pay more for an occa =
sional visit to the ball park than the
steady patron or bug" who goes more
frequently.
The small salaried employe who
wants to take in two games a week
and can afford only SO cents a week
wants to sit in the bleachers twice
while the fan with the same salary
who cares to see only a game every
Two weeks can afford to sit in the
igrandstand and will usually do so If it
Is big enough. 1t is not bad idea for
even the smaller clubs to provide A
few box or reserved seats at higher
--'rice for the people in their clientele
, no want them.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-21
Put BIeachers in Sun

The ancient policy of minor league
owners of picking out the hottest and
kunniest side of the lot for the bleach
'ers is another "bonehead play" Its oh
yect always has been to provide so
much better accommodations for tha
small excess charged for the grand
stands that bleacherites are tempted 20
30 into the stand out of the sun. Pres
ident Heilbronner declares that this
policy keeps more people out the ball
Iarlxs than it drives into the grand
stand
The reason is that the fellow who
Can afford only a quarter for a seat
Will not pay it as often for a blister
Ing spot out in the broiling sun as ,.e
would if the bleachers were located
N some more favorable position. His
quarter is lost altogether, and the
number of such rooters is greater than
the number driven into the grandstand
rather than sit in the SIN.
The Grand Rapids club owners pulled
the prize bone play when they erected
their new plant 1t is a swell location
close to the downtown section. Being
new. to baseball, the original owners
OF the franchise conceived the idea of
doing away with the sun fields" of
which they had heard so much conf
plaint from ball players, and whiah
they had read of being responsible for
the loss of a game occasionally, be-
cause the fielders could not see the
hall.
So the plant was carefully laid out
20 keep the outfielders' backs to the
sun and let them stay in the shadc.
Too late 1t was discovered that this
arrangement made it necessary for the
patrons to face the sun. which not only
tterfered with their vision on account
of, its glare, but wrecked their COM
fort, because it was impossible to keen
the sun out of the grandstand without
putting a curtain in front of it aud
that would cut off the view alto
Eether. don't you know
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-12-21
Managers Interferred With

Another bone play is for the club
owners to try to run the teams in
tiead of letting the managers do It.
In many small clubs the directors are
TIE bosses. and the managers meraly
their hired hands. They usually are
fans who have been tempted into the
game with the idea that they know 1t
all and want to show up their prede-
cessors, who were willing to quit after
finding out how little the average out
eider knows about the sport.
