Gods" New Midget Boss Says The "easy looker" Isn't so hard to handle after if you know how. That's the verdict of Charley Stis, Midget manager, as to dealing with the gentry wbo expect to see a ball game without price or at a greatly reduced figure. Stis reminisced on this topic last night, awl old of days in New Haven. There, perhaps inspired by the Intelligence emanating from such an institution as Yale, the manager found a way to stop the looking of the "easy lookers." According to Stis, there was a row of cottages ever looking the playing field from what would, have been deep center, if the fMd bad gone that far back.

Th0oceupairis of these cottages rented their rooms for the afternoons, advertising them as an inducement the opportunity to witness the ball games. Finally, the manager became peeved st the idea, of some other person's ipocketlng the coin that should have flowed into his own strong box, so he put a signboard, huge and high, along the center field fence. Then the guests of the cottages couldn't see under, over, or through, so one source of revenue on which the cottages had banked, was gone. As a result, there was no more advertising of rooms for rent for viewing ball games. Manager Stis didn't say he would take such steps here, but he did Intimate that he didn't propose to have some people pay for what other people appropriated.
