Provision for the "Rooters."
William F. Baker. president of the
Philadelphia Nationals. said today that
he was determined to take care Of all
Philadelphia fans before providing ac-
commodations for ut-of town specta-
tors at the games to be played at Phil
adelphia.
This was a reply to President Lam
Minis statement that unless the royal
rooters" of Boston were permitted to
purchase reserve seats in block in
the bleachers for the Philadelphia
games he would not allow his Boston
American League team to compete in
the world series.
Baker said he thought Boston was too
big base ball town to have q body Of
400 organized rooters upset q series
which more than 10000 everyday root
ers were anxious to witness.
Il am convinced" said Baker, that
II it were left to a vote of the 400
royal rooters as to whether they
should be cared for in Philadelphia to
the exclusion Of 400 men who have been
waiting for thirty-two years to receive
the Phillies in a world series. the royal
rooters' would vote to stay home and
give their brother fans a chance to see
the games"
