Baseball Magnates See No Reason for Admission Cut Now Assert Pastime IS Cheapest Amusement of Day—Many Deny Gate Slump. By HENRY’ FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—-Reduction of baseball prices seems Improbable at the present time. Club owners are taking the attitude that nothin, is wrong with the game and that the admission prices are satisfactory to the fans. In New York, where the attendance has slumped In the past two months, the fans give the high prices as the chief reason for staying away from the Polo grounds. Mayor Peters qf Boston has gone so far ss to ask Harry Frnr.ee.,owner of the Red Sox, to reduce prices, but he has failed to get an answer. League officials and club owners still maintain that the business end of the game is normal and that baseball is the cheapest and finest sport available for Americans. "It is folly to think a reduction in oricee would increase attendance. So far. this year exceeds "last year in attendance Dy 200,000 A price reduction Is unnecessary. The Increase has been so small It Is insignificant.” John Keydler. president of the National League, said today. Statement of the big league club owners run about the same. William Veeck, president of the Chicago Cubs: “Price reductions would have no effect on the attendance. Attendance records of past seasons havo been shattered by a large majority this year.” Frank J.

Washington is having the best season in history.” In Pittsburg, club officials said the furs appear content with the present prices and they have no complaint to make about the attendance. F S.

SAINTS FOLLOW , MILLERS HERE Kelley’s Gang Due at Triba Park Tomorrow—No Chance to Get Gaston. Following tha series wind-up xvltit the Millers this afternoon, local fans Wednesday will get a glimpse at the two-time Champion Saints under the management of that affable gent, Mike Kelley. The Saints do not happen to be occupying their usual first place position, but they <q!U have plenty of speed and punch. When the Indians were In the Northwest they knocked the Saints for a goal and they believe they have the necessary stuff to repeat in the series opening at the Tribe lot tomorrow. If the weather cleared enough to permit the final Miller-Indian engagement this afternoon Jess Petty was expected to hnrl for the Hendrieksmen. He beat the Millers Saturday and felt capatle of scoring another win todayManager Hendricks was back in town today, after another jaunt to Cincinnati, where he made efforts Monday to get the loan of Catcher Gaston and also to deal for a pitcher. Gaston refused to come to Indianapolis, however, and now the Tribe must search elsewhere for a catcher to help Dixon. Gaston said he didn’t believe it would be a wise move for him to cor^r-nt’ to leave tne Giants, for they are Buen good pennant possibilities that he fears he would miss out on the world's series coin by coming here. Manager Hendricks conferred with Garry Herrmann regarding pitchers, but was unable to get a definite reply to his offers. He a:d learn, however, that there wasn’t any chance of getting Fritz Coinnbe, one of the twirlers he was dickering for. The Cincy team offered Hod Eller to the Hcoslers. but Eller has had such a poor record here this summer that Hendricks decided not to take him. Eller Is practically losr without the shine ball, the abolition of that delivery having robbed him of effectiveness. Pitcher Zink, right bander obtained from tb<* Giants, reported at Washington Park today and was given a Tribe uniform.
