The Circus Lot FavOrably Considered d
by Manager Manning.

An effort has been made to have the
grounds Of the new Washington base ball
club located at Anacostia. Gentlemen In
terested in the Moore tract Of eighteen
acres, fronting on Nichols avenue, in Ana
costa, have been the movers in the project.
Mr.. F. c. Stevens Of the Washington Trac-
ton and Electric Company was interviewed
as to street car facilities, and promised to
look after that phase in the event of the
grounds being secured for the purpose
named. Real estate men and others then
called upon Manager James Manning to DIS
cuss the plan. but they were given to UNDER
stand that he had secured two options on
pieces Of land in the northeast section OF
the city for his ball park. 1t is said the
Moore tract may be opened by syndicate
as an amateur athletic park.
One Of the available sites for base ball
grounds inspected by Manager Manning
during his recent visit to Washington was
the square bounded by North Capitol and
1st northeast and l. and NJ streets, used az
circus grounds. He expressed his approval
of the location. which is accessible either
directly or by transfer by all the Lines Of
the Washington Traction and Electric Com
pany. The grounds are about 600 feet
square and are ample for the purposes Of q
ball park.
