Lookout Club Loses Tickets
Chattanooga Tennessee March 10 Special Owing to a mistake in reprinting the Southern League schedule as altered at the Little Rock meeting the Chattanooga club this week had to destroy an order of 1000 ladies season tickets which cost the club several thousand dollars. The order for tickets for the season was held up hastily just in time. The schedule as sent out had Chattanooga playing four games in Birmingham and failed to shift the series between the two clubs in May and June according to the matter passed at the meeting. President Andrews believes the league should reimburse the local club as the loss of the tickets was due entirely to negligent clerical work in the league office.
