Due to an error on this writer's art 1 neglected to mention in yes- erday's column that the sender of the letter reproduced referring to the old C. A. A Grounds was Col. E. A. Ings, prominent citizen of this city up to about a year ago when he proceeded to Winnipeg. s .

It was very thoughtful of Col. lngs to fumish us with the infor- mation and was certainly appreci- ated b this writer who gained in- format on that he was hitherto not acquainted with.

"'l'ars" had to make a belated

pennant rush to get into playoffs. a s s

Reason for this attitude is although Officers are still display-i ing the steady form that marked their games all season Navy nev- ertheless have showed a new lease of life in their last several games and should they still be at the

Officers‘ steadiness however as

stated above has been a big factor,’

in their leading the league and;

should Navy slip up at any time

The outfield is to be skinned a1 certain distance out from thc in-l field which will make for a faster game and the baselines are to be marked plainly so as to aid the of- ficials in their Judging of foul balls, etc. The mound is also to be raised, putty clay being used

s s s

These are certainly moves in the right direction for although the diamond has been in fairly good shape all season long never- theless improvements, small as the above may seem, tend to bet- ter the games both from players‘ and spectators‘ standpoints.

s s s

It will mean a speeding up of the game; eliminating of time-losing arguments especially as far as the matter of ul bal is concerned and give the fans a much better chance of witnessing clearly the close plays that are bound to take place. '

If, after invading the parks ' the eastern contenders, the Yankees and the Red Sox, thev are able to collie home still in front, the fans will "tear down the ball park." And there is pre- cedent for that, ‘too.

“St. Louis has always been an American League totrn," our in- formant says. “In 1922 on Labour dar when the drew a full house for a double eadcr, the fans got so excited they ripped up the seats and tore the wooden sides off the park. Aftcr that they put up con- crete sides, but there is no telling what the fans will do if the Browns come home in front."

s s s

He emphasizes that Si. Louis- ans, by nature cautious. have been waiting to see what happens, but that they will swing over to the support of the Browns to down the Cards if the teams meet in the ser cs.

The fans of 1922 had their spree for nothing, because the Yanks went on to nose them out for the pennant, but they don't believe that wfll happen this time. There is no less an authority for that than Mike Gonzales, the canny Cuban coach of the currently neu- tral Cards.

The St. Louis operative is con- vinced that the Browns have a more sol-id pitching staff and, that they will come into the series "red hot" as did the Cardinals of i942. who swept the Yankees off their collective feet. ' .
