Holdings Not Undervalued,

New York. Aug. 1.-THE appeal Of
the comptroller of the State of New
York from the report of the transfer
tax appraiser in the estate of the late
John T. Brush, principal owner of the
New York National League Baseball
club, was dismissed late yesterday by
Surrogate John P. Cohalan. The
comptroller contended that the stock
of. the National Exhibition Company,
owner of the New York Giants. was
undervalued in the appraisal Mr..
Brush was shown to have owned
1906 shares. valued at s34s.702. Sur
roEate Cohalan agreed with the ap-
praiser that the lease of the playing
grounds was of no value except for
present purposes and that the earning
power of the company was uncertain.
The surrogate found that the earn
ings in 1911, 1912 and 1913 were made
up largely of returns from the WORLDS
championship series. and he held that
the Giants cannot be a certain con-
tender in the series every year.

MACNATES GAMERS
BY 1O-CENT BALL

New York, Aug. H.-The 10-cent
baseball innovation Of the Feds is one
that organized baseball spoofs at now.
but which 1t must ultimately adopt.
One Of the things that has been the
matter with baseball has been the high
prices charged at the gate. The fans
of late have baked at paying from
that usually lasts less than two hours.
In the long run. it seems that the
magnates will be gamers II they op
crate with a lower schedule of prices.
The lower prices would attract many
fans who kee paway from the parks
now. Certainly 1t would keep away
those who patronize it now. Lower
prices will draw larger crowds. and
though the individual revenue from
the fans would be less than it now
is. the gross revenue would be far
greater.
Take the Newark Feds for an ex-
ample. They used to draw about 5000
home crowds on Sunday and an aver
age of 1000 on week days. On the
old basis of admission prices the at
tendance used to be figured at so cents
per head. That meant the total rev.
enue for a 5000 Sunday crowd was
$4,000. and it was $1,000 for the daily
crowd.
On the first Sunday the Feds put the
lower prices into effect they drew 49,
900 on the next day. Monday. 5000.
The lower prices made the average ad-
mission about IS cents. That meant
they took in $500 on Sunday and
81 500 on Monday.
And ever since the lower prices have
been in effect in the Federal League
the attendance at the games through
out the circuit has almost doubled. which
means that although they have reduced
prices about 80 per cent all around. tho
attendance has picked up 80 per cent
