Free Baseball Plan Aims to Give Wichita Fans Free Games
Wichita leader McEbright proposes a season plan to offer free baseball in Island Park by selling 75 000 tickets at 50 cents before opening. Once sold the park would be opened to the public with paid admission, allowing a 59 cent season pass for the poor. Merchants and local businesses would back the effort, hoping for increased trade and free newspaper advertising as Wichita and surrounding towns gain access to free games. President Ebrigh intends to present the idea to the city’s commercial organizations soon.
