Little Price Change Seen
In Baseball Admissions
WASHINGTON, April 1 (1?)
The government cleared up the
baseball ticket tax situation to
day and this is what it is likely to
mean to you:
On tickets already bought, you
may get back the 10 per cent tax
reduction if you take the trouble
to go out to the ballpark and get
your tciket stamped. On a $2.40
ticket, you'd get back 20 cents.
You'll pay just as much as you
have been paying for tickets you
buy from now on. The baseball
clubs will pocket the 10 per cent
tax reduction.
