THE T QIYMOC, GAMES. ‘This maiter of free tickets or *Annie Oakleys” for sporting events appears to have become a pressing and perhaps embarrassing problem t0 a number of our bigger athletic business firms. 8o shocked were the major league baseball magnates upon learning,! for example, that ‘the New York! Yankees distributed passes equiva- lent to the admision of 250,000 per-! cons during last season, that it was solemnly moved, seconded and de- cided that no club may henceforth | issue more than 500 season pass‘ tickets or books. This is the equivalent of 37500 individual admissions and means, if the Yankees live up to the letter of the resolution, that only one free customer will see Babe Ruth in 1932 for every four “deadheads” in 1931. Metropolitan boxing and wrest- ling promoters, too, have caught the spirit of retrenchment, now widely manifest, and pared down the output of Annie Oakleys, co named because the complimentary ducats look as though they had been used for targets by the one- time celebrated trick-shot artiste. Of ecourse, 21l this has been ac- companied by squaking of the violent sort, especially from those chiselers and hangers-on who con- sider the day lost when they have failed somewhere, somehow to ex- tract a brace of free pasteboards to something or other. The complimentary ticket racket has' grown and flourished, as a re- sult of boom times. Denial comes hard now, especially to the boys who have nothing much to look dorward to at all, outside the ob- tainment of the deadhead ducats. The situation is, indeed, very dis- tressing. | Chance To Strut It is a curious fact everywhere that these punched pasteboards have a fascination, even among those who can afford to buy their tickets to the various sporting events. Outside the newspaper of- fices, where the free tickets are more of a hazard than benefit, there seems to be a feeling of dis- tinction attached to possession of “Annies.” They flavor perhaps of} “drink on the house,” not perhaps | ji| press box. jboys who have been used to getting |industries which are still paying necessary -but highly and gratifying.

They will find it hard to say “no” tothe their passes for years and will ex- pect them particularly in such de- pressing financial times as these. To the newspaper goes a rela- tively small portion of the free tickets in the Big Town. Officials politicians and friends absorb the bulk of Annie Oakleys. The office boy, the elevator boy, the barber, the bootlegger all look to the sport- ing editor (popularly supposed to go around with a pocket full of tickets at all times) or to the sport- ing magnate for aid and comfort. WAGE SLASH PROBE URGED WASHINGTON, March 5.—As- serting that wages have been re- ducad in greater proportion than living costs have dropped, Chair- man Connery of the House Labor Committee has demanded an in- vestigation of wage slashes by large dividends. The Massachusetts Democrat said Labor Department figures showed wages had been cut 40 per cent siice 1929, and that in contrast the cost of living had declined but 25 per cent since 1925. e DE MERS -~ }THE NATIONAL.
