Southern Needs

Says John DObbs

1.-THE Southern league should raise
Its prices of admission 5 cents II
II car hope to combat the high cost
Of living, hotel fare, railroad tickets
and everything else, and still keep
from going bankrupt"
This Is the way Johnny Dobbs,
New Orleans manager and a keen
student Of all angles of the national
game, feels about the baseball stu
alton in Dixie. The Texas league
has raised Its admissions S cents
and the fans are coughing up with
out any argument whatever, and
that the Southern will have to do Il
seems certain, according to the New
Orleans manager.
Everything has gone up, as
everybody knows, It costs almost
twice as much to haul q ball team
around over the country as 1t did In
the days before the war;" says
Dohbs, "Hotei rates have been
raised, and food Is out of sight.
The baseball club owners have been
meeting all of the expenses out Of
the gate receipts. which have not
been raised any, and which stand at
the same old figure,
Everybody Is paying more for
everything now, and only baseball
comes In at the ami figure. Some
clubs are having a hard time
making both ends meet. In the
Texas this was the situation, and a
nickel was added to the regular ad.
mission of SO cents. The Texas
teams are nov getting on their
financial feet. In my opinion this
Is what the Southern will have to
have II some Of the teams are able
to come out from under the load of
debt that they are now shoulder
ing"
That the rule will probably be
offered at the fall meeting Of the
league for adoption In time for the
1920 season is quite, likely.
