WILDEL- FREMONT BOYS
ON EDGE FOR BIC CAME

On next Saturday afternoon the
much tallked-of Wildel-T fremont game
will be played. and a record-breaking
attedance is looked for, as great
rivalry exists between the clubs. Last
season in the Social League. when
the Maple Leaf team (now Tremont)
and Wildel would clash, big things
always took place. and this season the
feeling has increased against each
other, If such a thing could be pos
sible. and a fast, exciting game no
doubt will be the result The posi-
bilities of each team winning the
amateur championship rests in this
contest, as a defeat for either side
will practically eliminate them from
any claim TO the championship. Farley
will heave them over the pan for Will
del, and If his work against Delaware
Hard Fibre Company last Saturday
is a sample of what he will show, Ire
mant's hits will be few and far be-
tween Stafford. who held up Farley
so well in that game, will again be
behind the bat. Johnson, who has
been Tremont's winning pitcher dur
ing the latter part of the season just
coming to a close, feels confident that
he has returned to his proper form,
and If so, Wildels batters will also 60
with very few hits Pennock will
hold Johnson up, and with this pair
going right. they will be hard to
beat
Although II has not been decided
where the game win he played, it
probably will take place at Front and
Union streets grounds.

DELAWARE HARD
FIBRE PICKUPS
By Babe.
By Babe.

Hawke, the star pitcher, held Wildel
sluggers to hits on Saturday. His hit
was responsible for a run.
Neither side scored until the sixth.
Then Wildel came back and tied it up
in the eventh.
Bradford, the all around man, put up
nice game at second. He took eight
chances without an error.
Merrill's two-base hit in the ninth,
an out and passed ball put the game on
ice.
p Grant played a great game in left,
making two star running catches.
Brickley caught a nice game Not a
man stole base. He caught the only
three that tried.
D. Grant again proved that he is one
of the best third basemen in the city.
z. Essick was robbed of a hit in the
eighth inning with man on third and
two out. R. Strawbridge. WildeP:
shortstop, ran over and picked up the
ball with one hand as it was going over
second It was the feature play of the
game.
Rip Slavin put up stellar game al
first and kept plenty of life in the in
field.
With three games won and none lost
the flag seems certain TO fly over tn,
Marshallton field.

TEN-CENT BASEBALL
MAKING New FANS
Bleacherites Move TO Grand
stand, "Kids" Take
Place
INCREASES THE
PARK ATTENDANCE

The Feds are harvesting an entirely
new crop Of fans as a result Of the
lower admission prices. The bleach
ers. where the admission price used
70 be % cents. is now peopled by
Riddles" lovers Of baseball who can
see their favorite game for a dime.
The old-time bleacherites have
moved up into the pavilion, where an
outlay Of rs cents will get them the
same seat that used TO cost 30 cents.
The one-time pavilionites also have
advanced. They felt able in the past
10 pay 80 cents for a seat at the ball
game, but they didn't feel able to pay
Dut 75 cents for the choicer grand
stand seat Now they sit in the
grandstand-fo 80 cents
Over nearly a months stretch. sta
hstios gathered by the Federal League
oflcials, covering all the clubs in the
circuit. show just what Il showed dur
ing the first week that the new plan
was in operation--that although the
admission prices have been reduced
about 80 per cent. the attendance has
increased from 80 to $50 per cent
High prices-that's what's been the
matter with baseball, asserts Harry
Sinclair, owner Of the Newark Feds,
and the man who launched the lower
priced baseball plan. Il reached this
conclusion only after a lot Of study
over the situation-and the result OF
the innovation, so far, hears me out"
For many years the fans submitted
tamely to the holdup OF the baseball
maenates. They paid the big prices
demanded because up to last year the
country was prosperous. But as soon
as hundreds Of thousands of fans
were thrown out of work, and a re-
duction came IN the salaries OF thous-
ands more, the fans ceased TO go to
the parks They couldn't afford to
pay the prices demanded.
Although conditions we're slightly
better when the 1915 season opened
the fans wouldn't come back. Why
For the simple reason that they awak
ened during the latter part Of 1914 :,
the fact that the then prevailing
prices for a major league baseball en-
.er.ainment was all out Of proportion
% the pleasure derived.
I'm other words. the majority o
ans concluded they weren't gettinl
heir moneys worth-and the!
weren't.
The prices that prevail Throughout
the Federal League now are. in oui
minds. fair and equitable prices. They
are prices within reach of all AnC

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 14.-Grover
Cleveland Alexander, star Of the Phil
lies hurting corps, has long cherished the
ambition that one day he would be a
member of a pennsnt winning team and
would take part in a worlds series, and,
unless the Phillies fall down miserably
in their present iaunt through the "wild
and wooly," he seems in a fair way to
achieving that ambition, and Alexander
is responsible in no small measure for
the roseate outlook of his team. He has
taken part in more games than any
slab artist of either league. If the
Phillies win the National League pen
nant it is likely that Alexander will be

SATISFACTORY

The assurances or Territorial Counsel Cobb and Territorial Treasurer Smith that tho Territorial reve nue law is working out more satisfactorily than s au thors bad hoped for it is matter for congratulations It Is stated thas the law win produce more revenues than tho appropriations and that there win be comfortable surplus when the Third Legislature shall have con vened The result not only iusues the wisdom of the Legislature In the passage of the law. but 1t is comp mtntary in high degree to Gov Strong and his heuten ants in the execution of it.
 The method Of raising revenues is one that is pe- euliariy adapted to conditions in Alaska. While it is true that some classes of property escape bearing
 share of tho burdens of government the machinery that would be necessary to assess and collect property tax in the absence of county government-would be so cumbersome and costly that much more than the need ed revenues would have to be levied Further than that the greater amount Of the that collected under the new law falls upon the natural resources of the country and to that extent resembles tho single tax idea-n fact one of the parts of the single tax idea because 1t makes Che producing resources con tribute to the expenses Of government and exempts homes The mine tax is on net income and therefore, it does not operate as tax on development
 These are some of the reasons why The Empire fa- vored this revenue law when It bin before the Legislature rather than the bin under consideration which provided for Q property tax
 The original bin which developed into the present revenue law was written by J. H. Cobb. the Territorial Counsel selected by Gov Strong to steer 1t through he maze of legal technology.
