This ta pure charity cn the part of ethe ball magnates. They fear that if, they are taxed themselves their usual profits will be impaired to such an extent that they may be tempted to clone their gates. There's another complication. If the ball clubs are taxed, say 10 cents for each spectator, they might have to raise the price of tickets a quarter or 80, This would be a genuine mis- fortune for the fans, and the mug- nates would be broken hearted. It is bad enough to have been forced by circumstances beyond their control in the past few years to raise the price of bleacher its and to charge fancy prices for admission to post-season series gam ‘The fans must be saved, no matter what it costs them. | | | 0 WIS FIRGT Li — @ ig Six” Makes First Appear- BE, speaking editorially, and i, @peaking individually, have to ‘, H i admire the scrapping spirit ot| 4 Big Reception Will Be Given!
