FAVORING "KNOT HOLE GANG" Action of Owners of St. Louis Nationals Nation-als in Admitting Youngsters Is Approved. Each one must decide for himself what business policy he would best pursue in running a baseball team, but it may be said that a lot of us feel like commending the ownership of the St. Louis Nationals for organizing a "knot hole gang" of boys between the ages of ten and 16 years and approved moral mor-al character, for the purpose of admitting admit-ting them free to local games. Those of us whose parents could not afford to give us entrance money will recall with thrills our early experiences experi-ences at the knot hole. My own face never got normal from the right eye squint habit then contracted, says a writer In the Milwaukee Sentinel. It was a great experience and many of us will recall the genuine excitement of retrieving a ball and getting in to a ,eat! Those were great days ! The boy of today Is the patron of tomorrow, and so It is good business judgment, if nothing else and we prefer pre-fer to think it Is something better- to let these boys in free.
