The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1919-07-03
BASEBALL OFFICIALS
MAKE EXPLANATION

derstandings which occurred at the
ball game yesterday and at the same
time arrange things so that there will
BIZ clear comprehension OF the
methods followed, the management
Of the Lakeland Baseball Association,
Inc, wish to make the following
statements to the fans of Lakeland
and their friends who may attend
games in the future.
The management has arranged to
have the automobile parking spaces
numbered plainly at intervals OF ten
feet on the railing surrounding the
diamond and tickets will be on sale
bearing corresponding numbers. The
| fans purchasing automobile parking
spaces are requested to park opposite
the space bearing their number, at
such an angle to the railing as will
permit Of easy ingress and egress to
themselves and others. Also all au-
tomobile owners are requested to en-
ter at the ticket gate and make their
exit by driving around the grand
stand, should they be parked between
the grandstand and the ticket gate,
and so out the other automobile gate.
In other words come in at the ticket
gate and 60 out at he gate at the
opposite end of the park. These two
rules will have to be strictly enforced
by the management in order to avoid
confusion not only prior to but after
the games. A ticket collector will
come around to the cars to collect
the tickets for parking space, and
should any one be in a space to which
he or she is not entitled they will be
obliged to move to the proper space
upon such request, therefore, in order
to save this confusion and possible
embarrassment, it would be we'll to
be sure that you are in the proper
space from the start.
In order to make things more con-
venient to the fans, the management
has decided that If any Of the fans
J wish to purchase their parking space
for the entire season, they may do Sc
o by seeing the secretary, W. j. Mer'
/ rill, and upon payment Of So they
i, will be assigned space which viii
i be theirs for all games played a
: Lakeland during this season. This Il
on the basis Of zoe per game, or
saving of So for the season, besides
insuring you Of the same space at eacl
game whether you come in early o.
late. The parking space will exten'
on three sides of the field, so in orde
n to secure choice parking space, pleas
3 place your orders early. In this case
as with the day to day sales at tn
gates, it will be first come \ frs
n served-no favorites.
r One other change will be installed
: which will be that grand stand itch
cts will be on sale at a. window 8
the grand stand and not at the ger
Il eral admission window as heretofore
Buy your grand stand tickets at ii
I grand stand.
4 The cooperation of the fans IN Il
\ above requests and regulations
y earnestly solicited as this is som

\ as well as the management in Il
