NEW YORK, Dec. 9-F. d. Baldwin,

door baseball situation In this section
of the State. Mr.. Baldwin is well
known in baseball circles. both n the
indoor and outdoor game. having been
in managerial capacity for some years
Indoor baseball has never been very
popular in this part OF the State, which
has been attributed 10 lack OF soma one
here to take mold of the game and in
troduce it 10 the public in a proper way.
1t has been In the past. and Is stiIl.
played by a few regimental teams. and
teams Of few other organizations. but
has never proven much OF an attraction
on account OF the style Of playing the
indoor game, and of its being confined
almost exclusively TO reginlental teams
Should Be Popular.
Indoor baseball. when played accord
ing 10 the official rules as adopted by
the National Association. Is almost as
interesting as the outdoor game. and
should prove as popular a sport in the
winter months as outdoor baseball Is in
the summer. 1t is played extensively
in the northern part of the State and
Canada. as well as all through the
Northwest, in all the armOries. athletic
clubs and gymnasiums- Regular
leagues have been formed in all the
large cities, and schedules compiled for
a number OF games with each team. in
order to decide the championship.
A large number of the professional
baseball players who play in the minor
leagues throughout the country during
the summer can be found among the
ranks OF these indoor baseball teams
The games have all been close and In

This resolution was framed In order
to do away with that greatest of basket

Potomac Park Offers
Ideal GridirOn Site
Of Space for Players and Seats
for Many Thousand Spectators at the
Navy-Army Game.

and $500 year TO keep them in good
condition. while to build stadium like
that at Cambridge. with concrete and
steel supports would cost about S6
seat"
1t is evident that the latter kind would
be far more satisfactory than the wood
en- stands. the entire cost representing
outlay OF s1s0.000. but the wooden ar
ticle would be a big help and much bet
ter than nothing.
One other of the many plans. which
the superintendent has in mind In
connection with Potomac Park. is to
put an inexpensive cinder path about
the outer edge OF the tract. By keeping
this well rolled and sprinkled, which
would be done at the expense OF the
city government. il could be used as the
grounds on which to hold the meets
which are at present held al George
town Field and which is not as centrally
located as the new park.
Public Subscription Suggested
If It Is found to be impossible to get
enough money 10 carry out this plan
1t would be perfectly satisfactory TO the
superintendent for the different athletic
and public bodies in the city to get to-
gether and take up porrlar subscrIp-
tions for the purpose of installing such
athletic paraphernalia as would be es-
sential TO a first-class park.
Among other things, Colonel Bromwell
said: while l would like well to see
the greatest of football contests played
right here IN Washington, in my tudg-
ment the thing 10 do Is to have first
every convenience and facility that the
Capital City can offer before saying that
we are ready for this game. Then.
when We are prepared for all emer.
gencies that might arise we ,could show
those who have charge of the affaif
that Washington is better suited to the
purpose than any other city and the
gathering would be an annual affair
here
Even IL IL is decided not to have
the game played In the Capital. II
would place Washington second TO no
other city TO have a park where athletic
carnivals could be held. and IL would
furthermore do a vast deal 10 promote
interest in outdoor sports and manly,
! healthy exercises which would be a
positive benefit to the children and
young men and women or the District. -
