MANY DEADHEADS ATTEND BALL GAMES Against Law to Attend Without 'Pay- ing Amusement Tax: At every league baseball game, a large proportion of spectators find their way into the grounds other than by the entrance at which the collect- ors are stationed. At recent games the numbers inside the grounds, not to mention those who look on from outside, are sufficient to properly finance the club, provid- ing that all paid ° the usual admission, Sad to relate, this is not the case and despite thefact that there is a fair attendance at the games, the receipts are not what they should be for the numbers in attendance. It is a difficult task for the base- ball management to finance the club and this loss of revenue at every game is making it just that much more difficult. The baseball club do not wish to deprive those who cannot afford to attend these games the opportunity of viewing the games but do ask those that can pay and do not, to be sports and come across with the admission price at each game. The newly amended Amusement Tax Act, provides that every person who, without having previously paid the tax provided for by the Act at- tends a place of amusement in On- tario shall incura penalty of not less than $10 nor more than $200, Appointed to Public School Staff Miss Verna McLaughlin has, be n appointed by the Public School Board to the Public School Staff.
