81. The same prices will prevail At
Fenway Park in Boston, except that a
section of the bleachers in deep centre
field will be filed with 50-cent seats,
while the general admission will be 81.
Every purchaser, whether in Boston or
Philadelphia, will have to buy tickets
for three games In case these ticket,
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 ths
tickets. This rule applied last year, and
thousands of dollars were returned 10
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
ment In the near future. Another matter
brought mp regarding the tickets was
whether they should be dated. The
chances are that the tickets will be dated,
but In case of 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 n postponcment or a 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
lSttEue, suggested tllat the Dleacher
tickets in Philadelphia he lowered to 50
cents and that ferce be placed in front
