Of course, if you can sepa yourself from a dollar you may sit in any one of the first nine reserved rows downstairs. There is no uch distinction upstairs on the top deck, however. Everything looking like @ peat there, be It tho first row or the nineteenth, will cost a cold dollar. The fans may protest loudly and lengthily, but said protests aren't likely to be heeded in these High Cost of Everything Days, unless, as we Intl- mated at the beginning, somebody—say the National Commiasion—gets busy and jacks up the owners who expend hun- dreds of thousands on massive struc- tures, only to sit back and wait for the “common people’ to pay the cost, Sounds something like building @ sub- way and then handing it to the capital. ists, With an Idea of getting some com- Parison of these days of fancy baseball, with its accompa! ‘his toby r wn in Water street.

MAGNATES JUSTIFIED IN RAIS- ING THE PRICES. “Baseball 1s now a gigantic industry,” began Mr. Day, ‘players’ salaries and expenses have increased by leaps and ®ounds the last twenty years and the fans must now expect to pay more for ft.

Day talks of and development of ba eleven years’ experience ig tho Giants’ club and thirty years’ deep atudy of the sport. The former New York president is familiar with the big anlarios that are paid players now com- pared to the days re the Brother- hood war, when stars recetved com- paratively emall compensation.
