TO PAY LARGER PRICES

Club owners in the major leagues expect to pay an additional $2,000 for hotel bills this season. Several of the club presidents have been notified that some of the hotels where their teams stopped have found it necessary to raise their rates 50 cents to $1 a day for each man. The clubs usually carry about twenty-five men on the road, and this will mean the payment of sls to $25 additional each day, or about $2,000 for the season.
