his baseball players strike have yet
to be shown that they are not ready to
give the national league an awful
jolt. They have admitted the Amer1-

extent if the walkout becomes a real

Charges and counter charges have
muddied up the atmosphere to such
an extent that the real seriousness
of the affair has not made itself felt.

in their power to hide the fact that

take part in the two flag chases, not
more than half, barring recruits can

Back in 1913, when, the Athletics
won from the Giants, a total of S4O,-
600 was the estimated return to the

a game that was not needed to de-
eide the series. The next year only
TOUR games were necessary to put an
end to the series between the Braves
and Athletics, and the fans in the
two cities received 100000 in re-
turned money for tickets that could
not be sold.
In 1915 the Phillies and Red Sox
played but five games, and altho ex-
act figures have been unobtainable, it
is said that in the neighborhood of
$4,000 was returned to the fans Las.
fall Charley Ebbets was the saddest
human in the world. He had to re-
turn about $4,000 to the bugs who
had purchased in advance for a game

help to take care of demands for the
coveted pasteboards, and it keeps the

Last year the Unpopular move
made by Ebbets when he. boosted the
prices in Brooklyn was strongly criti-
cised, yet when one figures that there
are thousands of fans who cannot Sc
cure tickets for the games, it is easy
to believe that the high-handed prices
demanded by Ebbets will be forgotten,
and whoever happens to be tangled up
in the series of 1917 will reap a har-
vest and still be forced to return thou
sands of dollars to the bugs.
