KNOT HOLE GANG SURVIVES.
st. Louis Kids To Do "Business a
UsuaIv at Cardinal Park

| ST. LOUIS Kids To Do Business as
Usual" at Cardinal Park.
| ST. Louis, March 27-The Knot Hole
Gang will do business as usual" this
season. Despite the war and the taxes
incident thereto these loyal rooters of
the st. Louis Nationals will be at their
posts boosting for their favorites even
If baseball club owners are forced to
dig deep into their pockets to have
| them there. This assurance is given
by Branch Hickey, president of the
club.
The Knot Hole Gang is an organza-
ton of st. Louis young less than
sixteen years of age. every one Of
whom Is an ardent baseball fan. The
boys are recruited from various Sun
day school societies in the city and last
year were given free tickets to the
Cardinal field. They occupied bleach
er seats and under the direction of
their cheer leader yelled their devo-
ton to their major league favorites
OF course the management exer-
cised subtle psychology in affording
this free entertainment as they figured
that the young rooter Of today is the
pair admission of tomorrow and hoped

future.
But the war almost caused the de-
elimination Of the organization. A fed
eral law imposed a tax upon amuse
ments and this included levy Of
few cents on each of the free tickets
issued to the Knot Holers. The man
asement did some figuring and con-
cluded that on the basis OF tickets is
sued last year it would cost between
$1,000 and $4,000 for war taxes alone
on the youthful fans. The question
was: Should the club owners bear
this financial burden Or should the
knot holers be asked to pay the tax as
individuals?"
President Hickey placed the matter
before Commissioner Of Interna! -Aeg-
enue Roper and asked whether tax
need be collected. No matter what the
decision. he says, the Knot Hole Gang
will not disband and some means will
be devised to make the members reg
ular attendants at all Cardinal games.
