Text	The free ticket business has been interesting the local cranks very much of late. It transpires that the thousand or more tickets which the National league people distributed right and left, just about the Fourth, and which they claimed had been paid for by a lover of the game and an enthusiastic back of the old League, were all “complimentaries” or dead-head tickets—not over half of which, by the way, according to turnstile returns, could have been used. The old League people, when this discovery was made, retorted by declaring that the Players' League had given away thousands of tickets. This was entirely too thin to be credited by the knowing ones, especially that army of men whose delight it is to see a show or ball game for nothing, and who had pulled every string they knew of to get free tickets, only to be told that “it only costs a quarter to see a game: shell out.
