FANS DEMAND
CHEAPER BALL
Game PRICES
Notable Decrease Seen in
Crowds Using Higher
Priced Seats
By FRED BAILEY

ST. LOUIS, May 16.-(UP).-
Baseball crowds in many cities in
both the major and minor leagues
this season have been the smallest
in years.
Most of the decrease has been
shown in the higher priced seats
the bleachers remaining well
patronized. Boxes have been all
but deserted.
The thousands, who have re-
manned away from the parks have
raised an insistent demand that
admission prices be reduced to the
depression level"
Salaries of players have been
reduced in line with salaries Of
other professions, why not reduce
the price the customers pay at
the gate2" has been question
asked.
BREADON EXPLAINS
Sam BreadOn, st. Louis Cardin-
ais president and principal stock
holder of the worlds largest base
ball organization, consented to
answer this question for the Uni
ted Press.
The Cardinals far-flung farm"
system includes tn c Rochester
club in the International League,
the Columbus team in the Ameri-
can Association, Houston in the
Texas League, Greensboro in the
Piedmont. and Springfield in the
Western Association, besides hold
ings in various other minor league
clubs.
1.-The question" Breadon said,
els a serious one, and the fans are
entitled to a fair answer. The
answer is the cost of producing
and operating a baseball club
have not come down.
Last season it cost us approx I
mately $1.OOO,OOO to operate the
Cardinal organization. That fig
ures no return on our investment.
That was more money than we
took in at the gate.
1t cost us $435,OO to operate
the St. Louis National League
club. That represents a 800 per
cent increase over cost of operat-
ing the same club in 1910. The |
same has been true of practically
every other baseball organization"
BrcadOn outlined the operating
expenses for the CardialS Ma I
tional League club for 1882 as
follows:

ings banks, previously had sold $50, ,000,-
000 of its capital notes to the corpora

Commenting on the action of the
banks, Jones said:
The participation of New York City
banks in the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation in the preferred stock and
capital note program for increasing the
capital of banks throughout the coun-
try will give greater impetus to the plan
by encouraging banks everywhere to
place themselves in stronger capital
position so as to better respond to the
credit demands of increasing business. -

yesterday were:

 It's irus that Andy did not win the Stanley cup alone. He had magnificent aid from the front line of Boucher and the Bros.

But it was Andy, back there fin the nets, who, more than any one else. cnabled the Hangers 10 sweep pagt the Cauadleng and Leafs in the cup playoffs.
 His was the largest contribution for the simple reason that n hook "y team is no stronger than itr Ronli". A manager may have six shnrp-HhootiDg forwards, scoring right and Jeff, but they won't do him any good unless he has fl goa . ic who can stop thc blasts of the rival forwards.
 Aitkehhcad'b job was made aII the tougher by the fact that he succeeded John Ross Roach, who despite his weakness for burning candies at both ends. was (and still K, for that matter) one of the greatest goaltcndcrs fin the league.
