FANS WILL PAY WAR TAX
AS THEY ENTER GROUNDS
President Tener Explains Situa-
tion-NeW Scale Effec-
tive June !

NEW YORK, May lO.--Thc baseball fan
will have to pay 10 per cent more FOR his
fun after June than he ever did before.
League circuit, says that the war tax as
levied is satisfactory to club owners, for in
stead Of levyiug a tax Of 10 per cent on
the gross receipts, rs was az first sug
gested. the fans will now have to pay the
tax when they purchase their tickets of ad-
mission at the parks. Both the National
and American Leagues objected to a tax on
the receipts on the ground that the oblga-
ton would be so heavy that it would be
runOus to the business.
After June / when the fans buy their
tickets at the ticket window of the parks
they will also have to pay tax Of 10 per
in vogue at Toronto and Montreal in the
international League. 1t means that the
purchaser of the fifty-Cent admission will
have to pay fifty-fve cents the seventy-tive-
cent admission cghty-thrce cents, the 81
tickets will be S1.lO and the $l.50 box seats
will be $l.6j
All holders of complimentary tickets to
the baseball games will have to pay a tax
Of five cents and the tax on children under
twelve years Of age Will be one cent.
The National League has called meet
ing here of its cab owners for Saturday
morning. At this meeting the club owners
will discuss the probable effect the war tax
will have upon the game and the probable
effect of conscription on the younger
players.
