BASEBALL FANS
CHICAGO, April 21 (by Associated
Press).—Twenty-five-cent baseball in
the American Association is no more.
The high cost of the national game
will be ushered in with the opening
of the 1920 campaign.
President Hickey has just announced
that with the start of the pennant race
the prices of all seats in every park
in the league will be slightly raised to
faeet the mounting cost of operations
and the higher salaries paid baseball
players.
The fan who last season paid 30
cents, war tax included, for a favorite
spot in the bleachers, will be obliged
to lay down 50 cents this season. This
includes the war tax. The price of
grandstand seats will be advanced
from 60 to 75 cents, war tax included^
But there is solace for the fan who
gits in the reserved seats. The price
will remain the same, 85 cents. The
price of box seats, however, will be
fixed by each individual club.
President. Hickey, in his statement
announcing the increase, declared
that a readjustment of the prices of
admission was absolutely necessary to
assure success of the game. He de
clared that operatin gexpenses since
tie organization of the American As
sociation, nineteen years ago, had
Rubied, and in some instances were
three times as high, whereas the price
of admission had remained the same.

TOMBSTONE NAMED
AFTER MINER’S CLAIM
TOMBSTONE, Ariz., April 21 (by
Associated Press).—A prospector’s
curious sense of humor was responsi
ve for the rtam.rg of tins town
which recently has gotten into the
news dispatches because of the Bis
bee deportation trials being held
here.
According to James F. Duncan, who
came here in 1879, the town was
founded tfiat year by Ed. Schieffelin,
a mining prospector. Schieffelin call
ed his mine near the site of the
courthouse “Tombstone mine,” Dun
can said, because the region was full
faf drab rocks that resembled tomb
stones.
* Tradition has it, however, that
Schieffelin’s friends frequently ral
lied him for his faith in the locality,
and told him that he would find his
tombstone here. After the prospec
tor had made his fortune here, in
good natured irony he is said to have
named thd town after the fate that
had been predicted for him.
Schiefflein was found dead in a log
( abin In the state of Washington May
12, 1897. According to his wishes,
his body was brought back to his
tombstone” and buried near here.
His pick-ax and other tools were
buried with him. Above the grave
his r sdnetiecer -‘ vbgkqj cmfw ff
his friends erected a simple monu-,
ment, fashioned after the rude man
ner of a prospector’s claim stake—
merely a pile of unevenly shaped
rocks.

SOVIET GOVERNMENT
MAY ADOPT MEASURES
TO ENFORCE LABOR
-*
LONDC^M, April 21 (by Associated
Press).—The Russian soviet govern
ment has threatened to put the work-1
shops of the Northern railways under
martial law in order to put an end to
what it calls the “crime” of the work
ers in wasting time in holiday-making,
according to a wireless message from
Moscow. The government asserts
that 1,000 days were thus lost in one
month, and that “the railway men
are arranging to have two days of
idleness each week at a time when
millions of people are hungering and
when it is impossible to transport
bread owing to lack of railway en
gines.” It notifies the idlers that
they will either have to make up for
the time “of which the republic has
been robbed” or receive full penalty
under martial law.
The message issued by the govern
ment is headed “Shame! Comrades!”
and declares that Russia can not await
salvation from foreigners, but must
fight her own internal blockade in or
der to “end the ruinous condition of
things, conquer hunger and save the
soviet republic.”

SACRED CATTLE OF INDIA
IN TEXAS STOCK SHOW
FORT WORTH, Texas, April 21 (by
Associated Press).—The great sacred
cattle of India have gone to home
pastures with blue ribbons for the
first time from the Fort Worth fat
stock show, setting a new era in the
industry in the Southwest.
The Brahmas came from the great
Pierce ranches in Wharton county.
What attracted most interest about
the “sacred cattle” is the fact that
they are tick-proof and drouth-resist
ing. Originally pure-broods, these
giant, gaunt cattle have been crossed
with Texas stock until they have
dropped some of the physical charac
teristics of their kind. But they still
retain the hump, and their natural
wildness has been intensified.
