EVERY FAN GETS SEAT
Manager of St. Joseph Team
Tells of Plans for 1917.
Would Do Away With Bleachers an.
Have IS and 5o-cent Grandstana
Sections-MoVe Should Be
Popular With Patrons.

Manager Jack Holland of the ST Ia
seph team thinks he has in a Ior.,,
measure discovered the reason for t5a
small attendance at bali games il,
hot weather. He has come to a,-
conclusion that the bleacher fans ,yb,
are his best patrons, will not 20 fl
the ball park on an extremely ,rar,,
day on account of the heat. and tb.,
a good many of them cannot gHo,s
to pay 80 cents for a grandstana
seat.
Next season, no matter whera
am-whether it is in St. JoseDb mp
some other city, am going 10 ia
away with the bleachers and have
twenty-five and fifty cent grandstapd
sections" Holland said. If Stav +,
st. Joseph l shall rearrange the stgpdsI
ana the playing field. The bleachers
will be removed. There Will be abou,
fifteen hundred twenty-five ceu1 seats
in a section at the north end of the
grandstand and an addition will he
built to the south end of the grand
stand for fifty-cent seats
This move on the part of Holland
should be decidedly popular with The
beacher fans. Jack says that the
bleacher idea is a mistake in base
ball and that the time is coming wbes
the minor leagues will realize it. He
takes the stand that the bleacherite
is the steadiest patron of the national
game and that a little more attention
should be given to caring for his
comfort and convenience.

was borne out by one of the

said, but there was a reason.
We had breakfast at eight
thirty and didn't get anything
more to eat until nearly two

do you mean to say you had
to go without food for more
than five hours?'' he was asked.
Yes, we did" he answered
