$500 Is Limit
Friday Next
For Ladies

The Washington ball club has
found it necessary to adopt the
ladies' day policy in use in
Chicago, Cleveland AMI some OF
the other cities-at least for next
Friday when the New York Yam
KEGS will be here and when men
patrons would be handicapped
for seats because of their in
ability to come hours ahead OF
game time and find a vacant
location.
Therefore, today, ladies expect
ing to be guests of the local club
next Friday are requested to call
at the ball park for their Federal
tax tickets and may continue to
do so up to the number OF
$500 any day including tomorrow
$500 any time up until 5 p. m.
next Wednesday.
Lady guests next Friday will oc-
cupy only upper grandStand seats
back of the four green rows which
are reserved every day, as well as
are the boxes. The limit of $500
ladies' day guests is expected 70
obtain only next Friday and the
step has to be taken in Difference
to paid patronage, which is Sc
verely handicapped in finding de-
sirable seats at important games
when an unlimited number of
ladies have the range of the park.
An average Of $500 ladies at
tend the local games on Fridays
and other free days for them, so
that was the limit selected for
next Friday when thousands of
men would stay away because
they would figure the best seats
would be gone, according to the
ball park. Other major league
cities limit the guest list on ladies'
day to 5000 throughout the sea-
son, and seldom afford a day to
the ladies when their regular day
is an off one for the team. One
week this season Washington held
two ladies' days.

Shot Works In Winter

The winter acquisitions in
playing material just about
sunk the washington reserve
fund. The club hadn't de-
clared a dividend for two sea-
sons. It might have done so.
but it foresaw the necessity OF
rebuilding the club and this
winter spent with a free hand,
figuring that future baseball
here. as well as future divl-
dends, meant wholesome spend
ing now or alternating all pen
nant hopes. No major league
team equalled the local spend
ing orgy of last Fall and Win

So it's sink or swim with
washington, and if you think
the team is going to deliberate
ly stand by and see any sink
ing, then you're just a little
woozy under the bonnet. The

Cut Into Revenues

Now when you've got to give
away upwards of 200 seats at
world series time you're cutting
deeply into your revenue. Not
that the return publicizing isn't
worth the space allotted to the
young army of writer's which
flocks to a world series; oh. no,
not at all! But, if this bat
talon can be moved higher up
and only at a comparatively
small initial cost, the local club
will have just that many more
seats to sell at world series
time-which, in the long run,
will amount to quite a tidy
sum.
So, my friends, there is the
tip-off to the confidence Clark
Griffith has in this Cronin
crew, on which he is banking
to bring home the bacon, and
incidentally some of that bank
roll Griffith spent over the WIN
ter to give Washington a con-
tender.
Not that he is on the verge
of bankruptcy or anything like
that, but Griff shot the works
last winter. He is gambling
his all on the 1888 team that
has kept us all variously hot
and cold since the very opening
of the pennant campaign.

it is our aim now to show 'em

header. If we do, it's just

The Griffs engage the Mack
men in single games tomorrow
and Wednesday after today'S
twin bill before returning to Grit
fifth Stadium for that set Of four
contests with the New York
Yankees through the latter part
of the week. It's tough sched-
ule. yes, and the Griffs know It,.
But they're liable to go through
it successfully if they continue
to show the fight and spirit that's
characterized their play when
tough assignments have loomed
ahead of them before.

Harris Knows Answers

If there is merry little race
going on in the American
League between washington ana
New York for the leadership
there is just as merry one
also therein between Detroit,
Chicago, Cleveland and Bos-

separate that quartet today.
During Bucky Harris recent

themselves out of the second

straps. The Tigers today are IN

of Chicago.

Few realize Frankie'S worth tc
the Griffmen because they never
hear or see anything of him at
the daily games.
But this is because he is THE
inside man of the Washington
Club. His "offices" are situated
in the small four walls of the
Washington club house and in
these walls he stays from early
morning until way after 6 o'clock
in the evenings after the game.
Nothing is too much for Baxter
to attend to as he's up and at
every chore that arises in the
clubhouse. His most important
duty aside from helping Trainer
Mike Martin in rubbing down the
ball players, is keeping the uni
forms of each man in excellent
shape.
This means that each suit must
be dried and cleaned after every
game. Next he must keep the
shoes of every player clean while
after these chores have been COM

as clean homes and all that sort

Baxter is leader in his field
when his fame as a clubhouse
chief is checked up. Throughout
the league he is known as th2 best
in his class, in fact, visiting teams
always like to come to Washing
ton because of the service he gives
them and the manner in which
he keeps the visiting locker rooms
in order, etc.
On baseball subjects, Baxter
reigns supreme when it comes to
doping things out. Right now he
can't see anybody else but the
Griffs as the next pennant win

tending he's seen many Griff

come up to the powers of the
