1t has been rumored for several days past
that tho New York A. G. will lease Manhattan
Field from tho New York Baseball Club and
hold several important meetings there this
a year. II s said that members Of the club be-
lieve that such o move would boom out-ofd door
amateur sports, and would also prove profitable
to tho athletic department From several
sources 1t is learned that the matter has been
! discnsscd by tho Board OF Governors, and some
persons soy that negotiations with tho base
balll club will soon be opened. The summer
homo Of the club at Travers Island is quito
popular with the members. but II is so far away
that IL is a dificuft matter to attract the out.
side athletes II is SAID. II Manhattan Field is
engaged. therefore. many persons beliovo that
the clubs roll .of athletes will be greatly In
4 creased. Those who claim that the club will
secure the lease Of the field say that It would be
the policy OF tho managers to get ali OF the big
interscholastic and intercollegiate events, in.
oludi q football and baseball. Tho fact that
Columbia University Is located near the field 10
. also being used as an argument why the stu.
dents would avail themselves of a chance to
use It, too. Whether it turns out TO be true or
not, tho idea appears to DO a good ono from
every point Of view. The fold Is held by the
ball club for q term of years, for which an an.
nutl rental of P12,50O Is paid. 1t Is quito
probable that President Freedman would sub.
letit under certain conditions, notably agree-
mont whereby no professional baseball games
= would be played without tho consent Of the Now
York club. There have also been stories that
certain bicycle race promoters were after the
Geld. but that the terms asked for 1t were too
high II the New York A. g. should lease the
place and build frst-class bicycle track, to-
gether with an up.to-date cinder track. tho pos
ability for securing all the big cycle events
would be easily apparent.
