Another barrier remains to be sur
mounted before John r. Mclean. Rep

chase the Washington Baseball Club from
the American League. The old National
League Park grounds in Seventh Street
Is the obstacle to be overcome.
About a week ago a report was cir

would be extended so as TO cut through
the south bleachers, and the grandstand.
Shortly after the report was published
the party or parties in charge OF the
estate raised the price formerly asked
for lease on the grounds. Then came
the hitch. Mr.. WadswOrth. who is now
the prime mover for the purchase Of
the club. had determined to play on
the Seventh Street grounds. or posi-

The faction which submitted a bid for
the club to Ban Johnson is still willing
to buy. provided they can obtain the
old park at a reasonable price. One OF
them said:

grounds a month ago and buy the
