Spend Money Freely 0n Pittsburgh Pirates

(Dy Duke Mona)

PITTSBURGH. April 2 -(AP)—- Pittsburgh Pirates today would be listed as s. red-hot choice hr the National leallw pennant instead of ‘monﬂ those present if architec- tural beauty instead of basehlts gm titles. ‘

The new Bucco ownership. which has set local fans agog through (rag-spending for such "interim" players as Hank Greenberg, has plunked down $500,000 to improve Forbes Field, long regarded as one sf baseball's most attractive parks.

The item in the “face-liftlng" at. the park which most intrigues the fans is the shortening by 30 feet of the 365-fo0t distance to the left field wall.

This was done to provide a 3t)- foot-wide bull pen for home and visiting batteries-and to providi rt shorter tﬂrgct for the club's’ home 11111 blasters. Greenberg and Ralph Kincr, both rl-glithand swatters. Greenberg led the American Lea- gue in home runs last year with 44 and Klner performed thc some rho-re in the National with 23 cir- cuit swats.

Fans have labelled the bull Den enclosure "Grecnbcrg gardens" be- cause they expect to see a lo’. of Haiikua-Ponktis shots drop there.

Tho park seating capacity has lmClt raised from 33.800 to 35.545 by the addition of two rows of box writs back of home plate and along the base line. This also shortens thc distance from the platc to the screﬁll. making a catchers foul- cliiisiisg easier.
