Baseball Magnates Should Give Extra Pennies to Griffith Fund
Baseball magnates from major and minor leagues will charge extra pennies on tickets to fund war needs. The extra money, instead of Red Cross charity, should go to Clark Griffiths ball and bat fund, which has supplied equipment to thousands of soldiers. With nearly a million new servicemen, the fund could expand as the season nears. Harry Frazee estimates pennies could reach 100000 in 1918 from the big leagues alone.
