League Owners
CHICAGO. April 1 Twenty five
cent baseball in the American Asao
ciation is no more. The high cost of
the national game will be ushered in
with the opening of the 1920 cam
qaign. President Hickey has just announ
ced that with the start of the pen
nant rmce April 14 the prices of all
rata in every park in the league will
be slightly raised to meet the mount
ing cost of operations and the higher
salaries paid baseball players.
The fan who last season paid thirty
cent, war tax included, for a favor
ite spot in the bleachers, will be ob
liged to lay down fifty cents this
season. This includes the war tax.
The price of grand stand seats will
be advanced from 60 to T5 cents, war
tax included. But there is solace for
the fan who sits in the reserved seats.
The price will remain the same, 85
cents. The price of box seats, how
ever, will be fixed by each individual
club.

announcing the increase, aclarcd
that a readjustment of the prices of
admission was absolutely necessary
to assure success of the game. He
declared that operating expenses
since the organization of the Amer
ican Assouiation nineteen years ago
had doubled and in some instances
were three times has high, whereas
the price of admission had remained
the same.
