ORGANIZE “KNOT HOLE” GANG

Joplin Club of Western League Planning to Admit Kido Into Park for Smail Fee. The Joplin club will organize a “Knot Hole” gang among the kids of the town and let them In for 10 cents a throw. Since Joplin, by Its arrangement with the Western league, does not split receipts but gives the visiting club a set guarantee of SIOO a game it can open Its gates free, so far as other clubs are concerned. Joplin In Its first home stand drew an average of better than 900 paid admissions per game, so that the other dubs of the league lost money tn making the guarantee arrangement.
