"Bracky" After Games
For Next Baseball Season

Manager John Breckenridge is on
the job for next season and promises
plenty of big league games. The
Cincinnati Times-Star says:
BILLY Smith, manager of the
Shreveport team in the Texas league,
is in the city trying to arrange for
exhibition dates with the Reds in
the spring. He told Business Man
ager Bancroft that the Shreveport
team had a prosperous year. Banny
also has an application from Har-
risburg. Pa, for exhibition games
next year. The letter started with
congratulations and then casually
suggested three games for next
year. one in the spring. one in mid
season and the third later on"

DICKERING AND FAIR PRICES

What is a fair price? 1t is not
what you want to pay or, the price
you were charged, but lies somc-
where between the two.
Economists say that prices are
fixed by a sort of compromise be-
tween what sellers ask and buyers
will pay. This assumes exertion on
the part of buyers to keep prices
down. 1t assumes also that they
know what in justice they ought to
pay.
Neither of these assumptions Is
justified in actual practice. Sellers
buyers and their ignorance of what
prices taking into consideration cur
rent conditions, are fair.
In the Orient especially, and also
to a certain extent in Europe, peo-
pie are disposed to dicker about
prices; that is, they stand on their
rights and refuse to pay prices
asked. Americans, however, Seem 60
think 1t be'itt1ing to question prices.
They just dig down in their jeans
and pay up,
A veritable reYolution could be af-
fected If people would exercise their
right to object to prices, refuse out
right to pay when they believe prices
too high or take little trouble to
find out the places where prices are
lower. The people, a prominent
economic writer says. are more re-
sponsible for excess costs than all
the sellers put together. That may
be an overstatement. but it is un-
doubtcdly true that the people by
their own care and thrift could do
more to bring down prices than any
amount of egislation.-Milwau
