Every purchaser, whether in Boston or
Philadelphia, will have to buy tickets
for three games. In case these tickets
are invalidated by the failure of the
contending clubs to play a third game
in either of the cities the money will
be refunded by the club selling the
tickets This rule applied last year, and
thousands of dollars were returned to
Philadelphia purchasers for the tickets
to the third game here, which was not
played.
Just when the tickets can be had will
be announced by the Athletics manage
mcnt In the near future. Another matter
brought up regarding the tickets was
whether they should be dated The
chances are that the tickets will be dated,
but In case of a postponement. the second
ticket will be good for the second game
regardless of the date. This also brought
up the matter of tie games. In case OF
either postponement or tie game. the
teams will continue to play In the city
where the start was made until two full
games are completed.
President Ban Johnson, of the American
League, suggested that the bleacher
tickets In Philadelphia be lowered to 30
cents and that fence be placed in front
of the wall extending from the rightfeld
foul line Mt Shibe Park to the scoreboard.
This plan was later rejected as the ma
jority believed that the ground rules
which would be made necessary by this
change would hurt the game.
