The settees are so constructed that the
seats can be lifted and in case of a
rain may be kept comparatively dry.

yet whether the diamond will be a
grass or skinned one, but the possi-
biities are that it will be grass, al
though all the rest Of the teams in the
league viii have skinned diamonds.
There is a possibility Of Rube Wad-
dell playing with the local club, as
announced in THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL several DAYS ago. Waddell has
written to Manager John Kelley Of

GUNNER NOR AGAIN

LONDON. Feb. 15.-Another fight is
being arranged between Tommy Burns

$4,000 to stay six rounds, and Burns
expressed entire willingness to accept
the challenge.
The American viii have no difficulty
