Three weeks or so ago St.

Urban Shocker with a motor car
as evidence of their regard for a
great pitcher who seemed to be
winning the pennant for St.

Britishers In Trance
When Carpenter
Takes Count

LONDON, Sept. 25.-Sporting
circles in London were thunder
struck at the result of the Sikh
Carpenter bout in Paris. Sikh
was practically unknown and
Carpenter was heavily backed,
as there was no expectation Of
his being defeated.
Despite Carpenters defeat at
the hands of Jack Dempsey,
there was no apparent doubt
in the minds of the sporting
fraternity here that he would
win over the Senegalese. The
result of yesterdays fight
strengthens the belief that Car
pentier may not have been the
same man since his defeat by
Dempsey.
Negotiations have already
been opened to bring Sikh to
London at an early date to meet
the British champion,
The Washington times., 1922-09-25


Exposed to rain and cold, COM
PEELED to sit upon a hard wooden
chair, usually covered with dust,
frequently a target for line drives
causing severe and painful injury,
that is the lot of the fan who is
charged ST for each game in the
title series he witnesses from a box
seat.
Last year s9O0,233 was paid by
269,977 fans to watch eight games
between the Yankees and the Giants.
II was a far cry to the first world
series between the Boston Red Sox
and the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1908,
when 100, ,429 fans paid $50,606 to
see eight games much more brill
liantly played than those Of 1921.
Complaints were many last fall
concerning the eXorbitant prices
charged for the seats. It was sort
Of half promised that a decrease
would be seen this year. Now
Judge Lands announces the same
old prices.
To some folks a ball game may
be worth Sc, just as to others it
may be worth 81. But there are far
more fans OF the real type able to
pay the 81 than there are those able
to ante up six times that.
The major leagues exist largely
through the support Of the one
dollar boys. Then, when the final
big series comes along, up go the
prices, alternating those loyal sup
porters.
Some day--unless all miracles
have passed away-there will be no
increase of prices when the two
pennant winners get together to de-
termine the so-called world cham
pion. That's what should he done.
But it doesn't appear very near.
