THE TAX LAW IN REAMS.

The Collector arose with dignified look,
He called for his pencil, his lists and his book.
With fanatical fervour and cunning vile
He taxed every man who had made his pile.
He taxed him at board, he taxed him at bed;
From the sole of his foot to the crown OF ms heao
He taxed him in sleeping, that every night
He should dream of the taxes and wake IN frlght.
He taxed him in chewing, he taxed him in smoking,
He taxed him when silent, when solemn, when Joking
He taxed him on loans with notes fortifylng
He taxed him in trading, in selling, in buying,
He taxed him living, he taxed him dying!
Never was heard such terrible curse!
But what gave rise
To no little surprise
Everyone said THANK God, it's no worse"

The Washington times., 1917-03-14

The recent discussion relative to
the high cost of baseball and the
changes suggested as tending to re-
duce what in some cases is close to
prohibitive expense has led to some
interesting statements and eNplana-
tions. That some are not based upon
cold facts can be shown by a careful
study Of the baseball situation as II
exists today.
1t has been said that one reason for
the heavy expense in connection with
the management of a baseball club
is the building of parks and stands
considerably in excess of the prospec-
tive attendance as warranted by the
population Of the surrounding terri
tory. While this statement may be
true in one or two isloated cases, ii is
not borne out by existing figures in
so far as 1t applies to the general
run of major and minor baseball
leagues.
Parks Not Too Big.
In recent years some elaborate and
expensive ball parks have been con-
structed, especially in cities repre-
ssnted in the National and American
League circuits. In no case, how
ever, does a. comparison of the park
seating capacity and the city popu-
lation show that the accommoda-
tions are out of proportion to the at
tendance possibilities.
Taking seventeen leagues, scattered
throughout the country, as a basis for
computation, II is found that the total
seating capacity of more than one
hundred baseball parks is but 3 pei
cent Of the population Of all the cities
in which these parks are located. Ir
the case of the larger class of citie:
the addition of the population figures
Of numerous suburbs would make the
percentage still lower
The Washington times., 1917-03-14
Big League Parks Seat
Only 441,OOO Combined
Figures On II Scattered Circuits Show That Not
Three Per Cent of Population Could
Be Accommodated.

As they stand the statistics show
that these seventeen leagues contain
clubs which play in cities with a total
population of 37.416,0OO, and that the
seating capacity OF all the parks
aggregate but 1,106,s0O. As a result
these parks would be filled almost
to capacity at each game. IL three per-
sons out OF every hundred of the
were to attend the con-
tests.
In the case of the major leagues the
parks will not seat even 8 per cent
of the population, the figures working
out nearer to 2 per cent. On the
other hand, some of the Southern and
Western league parks will accommo-
dale close to 10 per cent of the sur
rounding population. Seven of the
leagues cover territory in which the
total population of the CLUB cities
runs over the million mark, while the
other ten range between one-quarter
and three-quarters of a million.
Here Are the Figures.
The big league parks have a COM
bined seating capacity OF AL 900. The
figures showing the population and
seating capacity Of parks by leagues,
are as follows:

The Departmental Tennis League,
thought to be the largest in the coun-
try, will get under way May q

twice a week. In addition the matches
wflI be started at o'clock instead
Of $3.50 p. m.' and at S;1S p. M as
formerly.
The Suburban League will start
play this yearsbn June 16, the eleven
teams playing their schedules much
the same as last season. Considerable

ner.
Date for Columbia.
