ISOLATION is no more. The high
cost of the national game will be
ushered in with the opening of the
1920 campaign.
President Hickey announced to-
day that with the start of the pen

the mounting cost OF operations

be obliged to lay down so cents

| tax. The price of grandstand seats
will be advanced from 60 to rs
cents. war tax included. But there
is solace for the fan who sits in the
reserved seats. The price will re-
main the same-S5 cents. The
price of box seats, however, will be
fixed by each individual club.
President Hickey, in his state
ment announcing the increase, de-
clared that a readjustment of the
prices of admission was absolutely
necessary to assure success OF the

expenses since the organization OF

Pitchers and Cntckers to Report
CARPENTER IS
READY FOR HIS
MOVIE CAREER
Preach Champion to Work From
Early Morning Until Late 1t
Night for Pictures.

New York March 29.-Georges
Carpenter. French idol and Euro
pean heavyweight boxing champion,
is about to discard the cloak of
social attraction extraordinary for
the business of earning some of the
wealth which was a chief incentive
for his coming to America.
The popular son OF France will
enter upon his career as a silent
drama actor tomorrow in the studio
of the Robertson-Cule Film COM
pany, Fort Lee, N. J. According TO
the schedule arranged by the NOV
ing picture officials, Carpenter will
be an extremely busy individual
for the succeeding seven weeks
The itinerary of his screen posing
schedule provides that Carpenter
will be busy every day from early
morning until late evening, and,
further, that he will spend some Of
his nights in pursuit of, his picture
activities.
The purpose back Of all this &C
tivity is to get the picture COM
pleted as soon as possible.
Carpenter, as the hero. and the
moving picture company. as the
| producers, have a mutual desire for
this result. Georges is scheduled
to commence a boxing exhibition
tour May 3, under direction of Jack
Curley, wrestling promoter. This
| undertaking will extend over 10
weeks, and Curley may exercise the
privilege of an option for an addi-
tional five weeks. Unless rapid pic
ture shooting is accomplished I
may be necessary to defer the start
of the exhibition tour.
To Box in Many Cities.
On the boxing tour Carpenter
will be called upon to display his
ability in a different city, against a
different rival. every day. This
does not mean that the French box
er is to engage in real combat, mol
does it infer that Carpenter is to
take to the road on the basis OF
meeting all corners. Carpenter
opponents will be selected by Cur.
ley as additions to several sparring
partners who will be enlisted fcI
the purpose.
The tour of exhibition bouts is
scheduled to commence in Newark
Whether Carpenters debut will be
on the theatrical stage or in the
ring is a matter yet to be decided.
