Federal League Cuts
Prices Everywhere
Experiment in Newark Yesterday Attracted $4,000
Spectators, and Gilmore Pleased With Result
Orders Reduction Throughout His Circuit.

NEW YORK. Aug. 9.-Within a short
time the Federal League will make the
important announcement that policy
of popular priced baseball. will be adopt
ed in all eight cities Of the independent
circuit. That means 10 cents for the
bleachers. 9 cents for the payilions. and
50 cents for the grandstand. This inno-
vation was practically decided upon by
President Gilmore after he and several
other Federal League officials witnessed
the big crowd which went to the New
ark Park at Harrison yesterday at the
reduced prices of admissiof. Inc at
tendance was more than 1900.
On the 10-cent admission to the bleach

ciatcs expect to make the basis OF their
future fight against organized baseball
The two major leagues have expected
something Of this sort for some time. @
but they hardly expected that the inde-
pendent league would take such rad
ical financial step as this.
President Gilmore said at the Waldorf
last night that the wholesale reduction
Of prices did not mean any reduction
Of the Federal League players salary or
any falling off In the standard Of the
ball they have been playing. One of
| the Federal League owners said last
night that negotiations were already
under way with seven prominent major
league Players whose contracts expire
| at the close Of the present season.
The Federal League Is making It's figh,

because the prices are too high. It is

Versatile Player

OF all the veterans in baseball
these days, there is not single
one who is more capable than
Terry Turner, who is playing
a remarkable game at third
base for Cleveland these days.
Turner is just as good q ball
player today as the most bril-
liant shortstop in the American
League.
The veteran has lost none of his
ability after years of service.
He still is a brilliant fielder, a
dangerous hitter and a wide
awake ball player. There is no
position on the infield, barring,
perhaps, first base, that Turner
cannot fill in a most satisfac-
tory manner. Turner has been
with the Cleveland club for
fourteen seasons, and he still
is one Of the stars of the game,
though handicapped for many
years by being on a losing
aggregation. ...
