II you do not believe il call and be
convinced, that each and every , ne
of the letters contain a complaint
Now don't think they are complaining
about the club. 1t may surprise you
when informed that they are asking
that the price of tickets be advanced.
Sounds funny. don't it? But that Is
exactly what President Griffith is
up against today.
Here are the reasons from the ma
jority of fans who ask that the price
be raised:
We want to go to a game on a Sun
da". Saturday or holiday. but can not
because we can not secure seats. 1t
is true that there are many reserved
sc Is in the grandstand. but not near
enough TO satisfy the many business
men who cannot get away like others
who have an afternoon Off and can
go early. These are the complainers.
those who can and are willing to pay
the extra price to have a few extra
seats reserved.
Griff Worries.
One banker. and he is one Of the
best known in Washington, wrote a
letter to the club. making a request
I that the first three rows of seats
back of the boxes be reserved. This
would mean only about 500 seats,
for which hundreds of Washington
ians would be willing to pay a pre-
MUM of % cents to have the privilege
of sending to the places where re-
| reserved seats are on sale and getting
what they went. That would give
them a chance to have a late dinner
at home and get to the grounds in
i'm. 90 ~
/ to ger -N""e at p. m. in order to
get a seat.
Those re the kind of letters that
are giving President Griffith a lot of
worry. He would like to accommodate
everyone. but he does not wish to ad-
vance the price, as that was what
caused the old leaders to get in Dutch.
But this is an entirel:- different case
and coming from people who are reli-
able il will be 4 different angle
from tine old one.
Maybe the new president will be re-
lieved of any worry by this time next
week, and be instructed to accept the
offer of so many who are willing to
pay a little extra for games played
on Saturday, Sunday or holidays 1t
would not take away many seats, for
there would still be over 1900 unre-
served seats left for those who cannot
see the advance prices.

Capt. Anson. the old war horse, has
sent out letter. asking support from
, club owners of both major leagues.
He has announced himself as a can

FAMOUS OLD BOSTON ABODE
Province House, Once One of the Most
Famous Colonial Mansions, Has
Been Partially Preserved.

There stands today on Bosworth
court in Boston but a portion of the
old Province house, most interesting
relic of Colonial days; and the rest
of the court is lined with modern of
fee buildings. But in 1920 it was con-
sidered a very genteel part of town.
Oliver Wendell Holmes lived in the
old Province house for Is years.
At the farther end of the court
stands an iron-wrought archway, dec
Orative of design, which was used in
the early part of the nineteenth cen
fury as an entrance to the governors
garden, a part of the Province house
grounds. This has been carefully pre-
served, as have the stone steps which
lead to the lower level. The Province
house was immortalized by Hawthorne
in his "Twice-TOld Tales"
The historic staircase now is gone
and only portion of the exterior of
the house is left. 1t was built in 1897
by Peter Sargent, a wealthy London
merchant, and was considered one Of
the handsomest residences in town.
During the days of its popularity the
governor gave many balls there.

After Using.

The woman was the author Of a
cookery book that had been published
at her request with wide margins and
occasional blank pages for notes and
additional recipes.
Often she had expressed a wish to
see an old copy of the book and find
to what use the blank spaces had
been put. One day in secondhand
book store her husband unearthed an
old volume. Noticing that it had been
annotated freely, he bought it. After
a day or two he said:
How about the notes in that cook
cry book? Were they Interestingly"
NO." she said curtly; "they didn't
amount to anything"
