Honus Wagner Celebrates His
10th Birthday; Still in Game

They may ten of the wonderful Babe
Ruth, of iris Speaker, of Tyrus Cobb
and others, but it is doubtful If after
all is said and done that there will
ever be greater ball player than the
man who down in the little town of
Carnegie, near Pittsburgh, celebrates
today his 46th birthday. That man is
none other than tho great and only
Honus Wagner, himself. Some time
there may develop as great ball
player, or greater, but none who will
ever bring more honor and glory to
the game. Forty-six years ago today
the Flying Dutchman" was born in
Carnegie, and over 20 of the years that
have elapsed since that time he spent
US an active big league ball player. He
could have been a major Lacquer for
several more years, but was one OF
the wise fellows who retired himself
from the big league circles before
Father Time ordered him of the field.
While his major league days are over,
Wagner still plays baseball and has.

Wagner was always noted for his
loyalty to his employer. He lived and
played through two major league in.
surrections. First when the AmerI.

fortune to flop to any Federal league

FANS VIEWS
ABOUT SEAT
PRICE GIVEN
Want Better Seats If Price
of Admission Goes
Up
BY E. |. sANRoRN.

Concerning the question of raising
the price of professional baseball to
the public, there are two sides to it.
The cost of major league team has
increased proportionately to the cost
OF everything else in this country since
the war. The people have more mon
ey, and, judging by last season, seem
willing to spend more on the National
pastime, but they demand more for
their money.
There are lot of the faus who used
to be glad TO sit in the open laced
stands for two bits game, who are
perfectly able and willing to cough up
four to six bits to see ball game
now, but they do not want to Sit out
In the sun or rain and watch the fracas
at long range as they used to. They
object to paying so cents for the TOR
mer quarter seats or rs cents for the
former half dollar location.
Last year in nearly every park OF
both major circuits the patronage in
the grandstands and higher priced
seats was larger than normal and that
of the bleachers and pavilions below
previous years. At some games there
would be heavy overflow from the 70
cent section, while big empty patches
showed in the quarter stands. And II
the management attempted to divert
the folkS from the higher priced tick
ct windows with the information they
could get standing room only because
there was plenty of room in the bleach
ers such efforts were unsuccessful as
q rule.
In order to satisfy the patrons, on
the basis of last years demands, a
club owner would need to remodel his
plant so that he could increase the
supply Of box and grandstand seats
and reduce the space allotted to the
cheaper grades. But in doing this he
would have to change his equipment so
that rs cents would entitle fan to an
individual seat instead of a flexible
section of community bench such as
has been provided for four bitters in
the past. In other words, the patron
who has more dough than ever before
wants to be more comfortable at ball
game. He won't kick on sitting in the
same identical spot for IS cents where
he used to squat for. so cents provided
he has grandstand opera chair" to
sit on. so
Baseball promoters are not so for.
tunate as those who deal in other
commodities. , The guy who used to
pay $40 for something the salesman
tells him is of the same grade and will
scorn to take pair priced at SIS unless
he is next door to broke. The $40 shoe
may, or may not be as good as the
guy used to get for five spot, but he
won't know it. You can't fool the
baseball fan, however. He knows a
two-bit squat when he sees it.
Then there is the fellow who didn't
think perfume at $40 an ounce good
enough for his STEADY" and wanted
something more expensive. The sales,
person could have taken bottle OF the
same stuff off another shelf aad sold 1t
for SIS per ounce If the swain had that
much to spend for it. And the pro-
prietor of store always can get more
high priced goods by ordering them
while the baseball promoters stock OF
wares is pretty firmly fixed by con.
crete and steel limits.

Taking the meet in chronological
order, the following dope is available
on them:
Large fields and great rivalry are
assured for the inter-class meet. The
classes are larger this year and there
is wealth of material in them. 1t
Is expected thar some stars for The
varsity team will be singled out OF
this meet.
The prospective of winning in the
teams class in the Pom relays are
considered unusually bright. Tho
leading candidates for the relay team
are Hitler, Russell, Caut, C. B. Schmidt,
Stone and Hawkins.
West Virginia is new opponent in

he told all agents he was going to stick
with the team had had played on when
he made his reputation; nor did he try
to hold up the Pittsburgh bali club
for more money.
The passing years have been good to
the grand old man of the diamond, and
today he is one OF the prominent and
prosperous business men OF his native
town, happily married and every
thing.
One Of the big traits of character of
Wagner was his attitude toward
youngsters. Honus Always liked the
kids, and was the idol OF every bat boy
who ever carried bat at Forbes Field.
If you happened to get out to the ball
park early some day, you would find
that the first thing Honus did when
he came on the field was to dig up the
oatboy or mascot and have little bat.
ting practice. He would get the kids
to pitch to him, and often strike out"
much to the delight of the youthful
hurlers; or at other times to the equal
delight of the kids he would knock the
ball over the left field wall and into
Schenley park.
Wagner was not thing of beauty
on the ball field, but probably the
most popular player from one end OF
the big league circuit to the other
there ever was or ever will be. Many
stars are popular for year or two
long enough to draw fabulous salaries
but there are very, very few who
can hold the ltmelight for 20 years
and over.

scout, and many happy returns of the

which the home team will likely win

fee two fact teams in action and 40
S1inutes of furious floor fighting, then
come out to he Normal school this
evening and see the game between
Toothmans -errors and the Clarxs
burg All- Stars or Collegians. The
game promises to be one of the best
of the local season, and the last home
game of any consequence for the Nor
NAL lads this year, as the game with
Norris Harvey on Thursday evening
of this week will be last of the home
season for the locals, unless Sandy
has some extrS games scheduled that
he has not said any thing about.
ON January 26th the locals took a
trip to Clarksburg and were defeat
ed by the team they play this evening
1925. The local lads were away off
form and added to this condition the
referee was blind in the second half
Of the game when the locals staged a
come back. The combination was TOT
much and the Clarksburg bunch got
away with the contest. Tonight the
local lads are confident that there will
be a different story. Fresh from their
successful trip last week, the Normal
ties will go into the game tonight con-
fident of victory and seeking revenge
for the defeat at Clarksburg
Il is likely that the regular five
the two Hanliltons, Jimmie knight,
Tough and Longfellow Shuman will
start the game for the locals. And il
these boys are in good form, Clarks,
burg is in for merry session. Pete
Hamilton did not play in the game at
Glarksburg, but he is very anxious TO
get a shot at them. The Clarksburg
bunch will likely get in late this af
ternoon.

est crowds of the season will witness

Unless 1T is impossible on account
OF a number of men being off duty on

that Q number of fans will come here

Demand that five-cent pop,
This baseball profiteerlng
Has simply got to stop.
Restore the two-bit bleachers.

Those fat and Juicy ones,
Restore the pristine volume
That featured ball park buns.

ity Dawson and Hawkins viii play the

Hill and Outright at the forwards
Gaines played two remarkable gamesl
for the Varsity on Its eastern trip
against the Rochester ICentrals and
Union College. Rochester had not lost
game this season till the Mountains

be seen that these teams were by no
means "cripples." Gaines fine work in
both contests undoubtedly won them
for the Mountaineers. 1t is possible
that Kiger will play at forward with
Hill instead OF Outright though In the
last few minutes OF the Rutgers game
Outright made the Mountainous cons
tender for victory when substituted for
Kiger.
