FAvORS PASS CUT
Head of DeS MOineS Boosters
COmmends st. Joe Move.
1000 Deadheads a Season Too
Many, He Says.

Des Moines, Ia, March 23.-What is
believed to be a movement to cut down
the number of passes issued by base
ball clubs of the Western league is in
the process of formation here. Fol-
lowing a statement issued at St
Joseph, Mo-, by Jack Holland, owner
of the st. Joseph Western league club.
Sam Larrimer, president of the Des
Moines Booster club has gone on rec
ord as faVoring a cut in the number
of passes issued.
Mr. Larrimer in a statement issued
here said he favored the limiting of
passes to ministers, head city officials,
county and state officials and newspa-
per men.
Everybody will agree that 500
passes to the Des Moines park is an
absurd number" said Mr.. Larrimer
q favor cutting out all those, except
the men who actually are entitled to
free tickets and giving the owners of
the ball club a chance to make a little
profit"
Hollands statement.
In his statement at st. Joseph, Mr..
Holland was quoted as saying:
THE pass proposition is the curse
of the Western league as well as of all
minor leagues. If every club would
limit the free tickets as has been done
here baseball would be put on a
sound financial basis.
4 estimate that every pass 1 issue
makes me at least three enemies. A
passholder naturally is proud of the
fact that he is getting something for
nothing and always shows the card
board Other friends of the ball club
see it and wonder why they are not
entitled to pass also.
Another thing to be considered is
the fact that the passholder usually is
the very man who could afford to
pay. The bleacherite never has a
pass. I have had as many as $50
passes out here some seasons and it is
safe to say that 100 of these would
attend games each day under normal
conditions. That is 400 admissions
or $3.50 gone up in smoke in one
season.

BOTH ARE ON EDGE

lard and Frank Moran announced that
the heavyweight pugilists were ION
edge and ready All the heavy work
outs have become a memory and light
boxing only will be permitted today
Tomorrow the champion and chal-
lenger will rest.
Confidence is the keynote of the
Moran camp, regardless of the fact
that Willard is an overwhelming IA
vorite both among the pugilistic ex-
perts and the average followers of
boxing. Reports of the champions
size and physical prowess elicit moth
ing more than a smile from the man
who is to try and wrest his title away
on Saturday night. In fact, Moran S
confidence in his ability, not only to
outlook Willard bat to knock out the
gigantic Kansan, is little short of an
ObSeSSion.
The Pittsburg pugilist admits he has
never seen Willard outside of the
movies" but claims that this is no
handicap since he has been able to
study every move of the conqueror of
Jack Johnson at his leisure. Moran
contends that he is fully as clever at
boxing as Willard, can hit as hard and
is able to stand a greater amount of
punishment

Sport Wheezes
BY CLUG-

A DeS MoineS paper asserts that
Frank IsbelFs ball players are all
models. Evelyn Thaw also was once
model
Captain Sam Stewart, of Washburn,
does not seem to be as enthusiastic
about going to Mexico as was at first
reported.
But Captain Sam is pretty much
enthuSed over the Ichabod football
prospects for next fall, and with the
light schedule, expects something re-
sembling a clean sweep.
Perry, an ex-high school player
looks like the best backfield Wash
burn has had since Ich Williams left
school, Tiny Sam thinks, and he
says Sargent and Callahan and several
other men look like coming stars.
The physical condition of Campbell,
the Topeka sprinter, is said to have
been responsible for the defeat of the
K. U. track team in the meet with
Missouri last week Campbell went
into the meet with an injured knee
and was unable to do his best.
Goldie Rapp, former member of
the Wichita and st. Joe teams of the
Western league, is reported to be set
| ting things on fire out on the coast.
! Groeling, another ex-Drummer, also is
/ hitting two and three baggers with
consistent regularity on the Pacific
border.
Topeka's tight listed tactics in re-
! fusing to remit the license fee of the
| Sells-Flot show as an inducement
/ to the circus magnateS to assemble
their animals and actors here not only
/ knocked Topeka business firms out of
about $4,000 worth of business but
] "a
pleasure of having Jess Willard and
/ Frank Gotch here for about four days.
And. as result of the aforesaid
tight fistic tactics Wichita will get
all these good things. Willard will go
to Wichita on April 26 to rehearse
! his show act and will make his first
appearance there on April 20, as will
Gotch. Willard is to get 1000 a day
from the Sells-F'loto people, according
to report Gotch will get something
like $500 a day.
In Des Moines the men who boost
| baseball are taking up the Topeka and
st. Joe idea of cutting down free
passes to Western league games.
John Savage, of the Topeka club, was
| the first to announce that there would
J be fewer passes issued here this sea-
son than in previous years. Then st.
Joe fell in line and announced that
would get by gratis in the Drummer
town And now the home of the
Izzies is in the procession. 1t looks
like lean season for the deadheads.
One argument in favor of cutting
out the lavish pass distribution is that
most. of those who get them are better
able to pay for their entertainment
| than the magnates are to furnish it to
them for nothing. Another argument is
six or seven thousand passes a season,
the average number issued by the w
L. clubs in the past, is entirely out OF
| proportion to the total seasons at
/ tendance. Last season most of the
clubs played to Al least one-seventh OF
their total attendance free of charge
and practically all of the clubs lost
| money.

thusiasts in the state, however, are
