FEDERAL LEAGUE
GUTS PRICE
NEW YORK. Auk. 9—The Fed era
Baseball League announced today thal
for the remaider of the season th<
price of tickets admitting to the blea
cher sections of all towns in the league
would be ten cents. In the older leag
ues the price of bleacher seats is fiftj
cents. When organized baseball first
entered the large cities the price wai
25 cents. Later when the Nations
League was the only major organlza
tion the price was 50 cents. Then th<
American League entered the flelt
pledged to 25 cents baseball, and lm
mediately jumped into favor with th<
masses as it was giving a fine artich
of all at a reduced price, and the ma
Jority of the baseball loving publif
had always felt that 50 cents was toe
much to pay for a bleacher seat in the
hot sun. The National and American
Leagues soon made peace, and then
slowly but steadily the service given
by the newer league was curtailed
Some of the American League cities
cut 25 seats altogether, while others
erected new bleachers in centre field
and raised the price of the base blea
chers to 50 cents. This has created a
great deal of dissatisfaction and the
move of the Federal League officials in
lowering the price to 10 cents will
douubtless increase the popularity of
the Gilmore organization, and have a
beneficial effect on the waning atten
dance. None of the major leagues
have been making money this season,
and it is believed that the declining in
terest the public is taking in the sport
is largely due to the high price of ad
mission. On the other hand the man
agers assert that the big salaries paid
the players demand that they get more
for their seats. The Federal League
officials have had the matter of blea
cher reduction under consideration
for some time and It is felt that 10
cents seats will do much to revive the
interests of the American public In
professional baseball.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9—General
Carranza has cabled his agents In this
city that the Brazilian minister had
left the Mexican capital, and had been
given safe conduct to Vera Cruz. The
Brazilian diplomat was taking the first
steamer out of the country, because as
Carranza said, he had learned that
Carranza was preparing to expel him,
on the ground that he was really
representing the Interests of the Unit
ed States In Mexico rather than those
of his own country. Senor Ortego,
the minister from Guatemala, was ex
pelled by Carraza for similar reasons.

The cable was repaired yesterday
morning and communication has again
been established with the states. In
commenting on what it caiis our "cable
troubles” the Juneau Dispatch says:
This is an infliction which seems to
come every so often. Uusually when
something happens to the cable the
Burnsides is at anchor in Seattle or
Tacoma.
If the cable to Alaska was operated
by a private company, it would place
the cableship at some part nearest
where the break might occur, so as to
be ready for business without any loss
of time. Moreover, a private company
would lay an extra cal'e in order to
handle the business and ta^e steps to
guard against breaks every month or
so. The rates paid on the Alaska
cable and the volume of business han
dled pays the government a handsome
profit and can well afford to use some
up-to-date business methods In keep
ing it in good repair and giving the
people service.
Really, these constant interruptions!
to service are becoming a bit tiresome.
It is hoped that the wireless people,
have been getting ready for the past!
several months to enter the Alaska
field, will get on a commercial basis
soon and give the United States cable
some healthy competition.
