ROOM FOR MORE FANS.
Comiskey Buys Property and VIII
Build Bleachers.

Chicago, June S.-Comiskey is max
ing arrangements to enlarge the seat
ing capacity of his south side park.
When the ball team returns from its
eastern trip at the end Of June he hopes
to have completed a new stand seating
several thousand. He has secured the
plot of ground just east of his park and
extending to the alley, $50 feet wide
and nearly the length Of the park. This
win make it possible to put the right
field fence out of the way of so many
home runs. and at the same time give
space to run the right field bleachers
out without interfering with the player
in the right garden
Ever since the opening of the season
Coniskey has been taxed for space to
seat the patrons of the game, who have
come to see his champions play the 9th
err clubs Of the league If the weather
permits a Sunday game at all there is
not room enough in the stands for the
crowd. and the overflow has to encircle
the field. making ground rules neces-
sary. The first Sunday Of the season,
with Cleveland as the opposing team,
nearly 5000 people were present, and
several thousand had to be turned
away for lack of place to put them.
The afternoon game on Memorial day
was another example. when the grand
stand and bleachers were filled to their
utmost capacity an hour before the
game, and the outfield was crowded
with nearly 5000 fans.
The addition of this strip OF vacant
property adjoining his park thus be-
came a necessity with Comiskey.
An addition to the grand stand is al
so contemp ted The present one seats
nearly 1000. but on Sundays and holi-
days 5000 to 5000 tickets can be sold
