i I 3S Bringing Up .OO BE TONKJMT AT THE HNE TO BE ONTOUnDXJ MITT ALL "fMtTIMtl FOLLOW HIGH COST OF LIVING Prices for Seeing Base Ball Games Are Being Boosted. SIZE OF BLEACHERS OUT DOWN Cheap Senta Given Poor Locations in Order to Force the Fans to nny Where the Price Arc Higher. NEW YOIIK, March 29. Base ball Is going to coat ft whole lot more this sen lion that Is, If tho fans want regular seats from which they can see things happening In the field. Ileal seats havo been advanced In prices. The 60-cent bleochor seat of the old days Is being eaten up gradually by grand stand addi tions and tho erection of now stadiums and tho older 26-cont accommodations are disappearing slowly but surely. Not so many years back the 60-cent bleach ers at tho Polo grounds, for Instance, started behind the first and third buse lines. Now n seat In the same location or thereabouts costs 76 cents and upstairs L while the old 60-cent hlcocherlto Is shifted to"tho back'of the grounds where field glasses are almost a necessity. When Charllto Ebbetn made his little speech on tho high cost of base ball. In connection with his new S7&0.000 base ball stadium In Brooklyn, ho Inadvertently, perhaps, started a flro of Indignation among tho fans, which has been smold ering (or a couple of years. Ebbets says the price of base ball Is going- up, makes no bones about It, and Intimates that the fans must foot the bills. In other words, they will be taxed more for seats, which formerly cost them from 26 to CO cents less. The Dodgers' owner explains this by saying players' salaries have In creased and everything else has gone up, too. In mapping out a plan of recouping, Ebbets has deoldtd that there'll bo fewer 25-cent bltaohers at his new stadium, a raise of 60 cents In the price of box seats besides, and a smaller number of 60-cent seats. Ebbets, however. Isn't alone In the movement to raise the prices, for supporters of the Athletics In Phila delphia have seen their cheap bleachers replaced by grand stand extensions, and Boston rooters also have had their 25 cent seats decreased In numbers. The Giants' management, t&o, have felt compelled to stretch the grand stand (at higher prices, of course) around both sides, and the old-time bleacherlte has been steadily pushed further away from the home plate. While the base ball publlo lets out long and raucous yells of protest against the Increased cost of the national, sport the magnates are emphatic in declaring that higher prices can't be helped, because to make both ends meet It is necessary to charge more on account of the great rise In players' salaries. Then there are other expenses an owner must incur to turn out a winning team. Manager's Task, The situation that confronts the mag nates Is made known by John B. Foster, secretary of tho New York Has Ball club, who has been Identified with the diamond game for twonty-flve years. "The base ball public little realizes the tremendous cost of base hall," said Sec retary Foster discussing the pending movement to raise the admission charges in some cities. "Big crowds are seen at the Polo grounds, and the fans -get the idea that fortune are made over night In the game. But the profits are not no great, when, say, that out of a crowd of 30,000. probably 6.000 are dead, heads. "Base ball owners, like other people, have been forced to alt back and see ex penses steadily climb during the past twenty years. Take one Hem alone, play. ers' salaries. Men like Mathewson. Cobb and Warner are paid any way from 25 to to per cent more than the stars of tht brotherhood days. The increase In the wages of the average run of players U mueh more. A player getting 11.000 twenty years back was thought to be well paid, but the same man today Is re. celvlng 15.000 or 13.000. Even the minors have cut In on the higher scale with an Increase of per cent in their salaries. au carry a ream in rough a season now requires the services of nearly twenty-seven men. In the old days four- icen ana even twelve player were deemed sufficient. The raise in players wage began when the American league was created and the resultant keen com petition with the National league. Teams started, to bid against each other for star players, with the result that now many are paid bank presidents' salaries. Rack In 169 a team's franchise could be purchased for about 135.000. but that sum would hardly buy two players of the Cobb and Mathewson type now. Wage Increase, "Along with that of the players, the wagts of umpires and other officials were Increased SO and 100 per. cent- Then to tak up another Item of expense that 3f transportation. It costs about SO) per sent more to send teams around the country now than It did In the day be fore the Interstate railroad law went Into effect Arriving at a hotel a base ball manager find that It cost $5.60 a day to house each member of" hi team Father " 1-INW0 AT THAT lXo fI 1 0nVTre v R'K H IN HERB YOO've ( " I I!

Secretary Foster hero divulged some Interesting tacts uboutMhe polo grounds. "Just to open the grounds." went on the secretary, "costs the club $200. So, when only a small crowd turns out It enn readily be Been trjat thn loss to the club In this one particular Is considerable. "Tho greatest, cost, however,, that was saddled on the magnates was the bulld liiK'of tho great stadiums' In New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, ClovelandY Pitts burgh, Boston and Brooklyn. Tho fans became very . high-toned In their tastes and wanted only their stands constructed of Iron and steel. Naturally all. this. cpsts a great dent of 'inbne,' In fact several of tho stadiums represented an outlay of over $1,000,000. Prices liaised. "This burden proved too heavy and Iho Philadelphia' American league club, shortly after tho beautiful Bhlbe park was completed, was forced to abolish tho 25 cent seats. This move was taken, not withstanding the fact that the AthlettcH havo had champion teams since 1905 and Philadelphia Is -a good base ball city. While the figures were never given out It Is believed that the Philadelphia club Just barely mado expenses' during this period," Getting back to the New York club, Mr. Foster said that the Giants lost monoy every year fronvHSW, with tho exception or 1904, until tho Into Mr, Brush took charge. The secretary concluded with the statement that bane ball, from the side of tho magnate, was a hugo gamble, A club can loso In one year tho profits made In three, and tho second division clubs do business on a trusttoluak.pollcy like a race' goer who hopes to Ret a good break from the barrier. Secretary John Hcydler of the national base ball commission agreed with John I Foster that cheap bal.1 was on Its last legs. Mr, Ileydler voided the opinion that the, higher cost ot the. diamond sport was Inevitable. "Base ball expenses have outstepped the charges to the fans,!' said the secre tary, "and 'the days of 25. went base ball are over, re.Aliy thoy were over five years ago, for. then tho tide began turning to the high- scale of prices. A true rfan, nevertheless, will cheerfully coma across with 60, 76 cents or $1 to see a good game," declared.. the genbl secretary. UNIVERSITY ' TEAMS Hindered BY. cold . ' . .

Jiggs Donahue Dies in Insane Asylum CHICAGO, March 29.-The fact that John "Jlggs" Donohue, the former Chi cago American league first baseman, who won fame In tho world's series game of 1900, between the two Chicago loaguo teams, Is dead, became known here to day. The man who was. termed the great est first baseman he had ever known, by President Comlsky of the local Ameri can league club, died In an Insane asylum near Columbus, O., five weeks ago. Mrs. Donohue was notified ot his death yester day by an Insurance, company, In which he had a policy. - The players first big league engagement was under "Connie" Mack at Milwaukee during the Infancy ot the American league. In 90ti ho accepted '1,056 chances at first base, a record whlcl,has never betn equalled. "JIbes" also had tho rec ord on thu fewest number ot ahancos In a single game, on May 23, having, only orto.

He allowed the first strike to be called uu nun mm uno grove a not one tnrough' short so fnst Dowllng had time to make no moro than a futile stab at It, both runners scoring. In the third he sent a long fly to center field, which, had it not been dead against a fony-hiU'e gale, would havo gone over the fielder's head, but It was caught. In the sfxth he slammed out another single to left and In the eighth, after Cobb's home run had tied the score, Shestak opened the sec ond half by laying the pill far over the left field fence, winning the game un assisted, for no one scored thereafter. Two Men Hard lilt. The two youngsters that appear to have the hardest row to hoe to a regular berth are Neff, an Inflelder, and Bright, an outfielder- It would be next to im possible for any club short of the major to put In an outfield superior to Coyle, Thomaeon and Congalton. The first two have been tried and found .worthy by Omaha, and Congalton never hit below 900 since he entered the American asso ciation several years ago. Ttfls Is. what Ilrlght Is up against. Yet he should not have cause to worry If he should not make tho Omaha, for Rourke has said he has had several offers for him and that he can place him to a'dvantajre. Neff has somewhat ot the same thins to contend with In his fight for 'a station Inside Kane promises ' to play his ' best season this year at first, Schlpke at sec ond and Justice at short both are going well, while Grubb at third looks Ilka a phenomenal youngster. A book opuld be written eulogizing his prospects, but atarh a publication might turn the head of a more experienced hero, and since up to the present time Grubb is a, model young ster for modesty. It probably would be better to suspend publication tor a while at least. Neff has shown 'ability 'both in the field and with. ,tlie. sflck. There. Is . possibility that ha may j be able to play a better game than some of those now 'on the Infield and even It hp' doea not make a regular berth, he still ' has ji chance ot beating Scanlon out for utility Inflelder. Scanlon ha been In poor health and has not reported. Weather Unfavorable. The weather here since the Itourkes. went Into camp ha been characteristic of that encountered by the major leaguer this spring. It ha betn a bad spring everywhere and If anything the Omaha club ha been favored mora than -30, 191S.

Marty Is expected to be a big factor In i keeping the Bucca- neers In the race for first honors this season. Western league patrons are 'especially Interested In OToole, for it was In this league he first attracted notice. HI pitching for Stoux City was of the sensational order that after wards raised him to the position of the highest prtoed ball player ever sold. He lms, not been a disappointment at Pittsburgh, for the reason that he has shown Just the sort of ability ho was ex pected to have. That his record. of1 games .lost, appears to be "against him Is- due to the fact that the Pirates have al ways seemed, to play their poorest back of him. whllo It was his luck to have op posed to him the class of the league In the way of pitchers. themaJortty., Storms have bn pnAml all over the country, many of the teams inai are starting home have not had -more workuhan has Omaha, and as soon as, the effect of the .present storm has passed, which will jboi within th. . day or two, condition here will -not be (so bad..
