Philadelphia, March 19.-Built OF
steel and concrete, with seating ca
pacity of $4,000 and standing room
upon and about it for 81 900 more, the
Philadelphia American leagues new
baseball grandstand is the greatest in
the world, and far and away the most
durable and the most ornate. 1t is as
different from the usual run of grand
stands as the modern opera house is
different from the circus tent. 1t is
fireproof, crowdproof, waterproof It
is even proof against the small boy
outside. for the concrete walls have no
knotholes.
This huge structure, erected on
Shibe park, the new grounds purchas-
ed by the Athletics" is an architec-
tural triumph, as well as the greatest
baseball monument in America-and
therefore in the world. 1t is nearly
completed and will be ready to the
last detail for the grand inaugural of
the baseball season of 1909 on April
IL. when the Athletics will cross bats
with the Boston team in the first game
of the struggle for the pennant. 1t
will be a day memorable in baseball
circles, for nearly all the clubs of the
American league will be here and in
uniform, to join in a grand march
around the big field.
The pavilion of the new grandstand,
as shown in the picture, is of French
renaissance style of architecture, with
walls of brick and terra Gotta trim
