Mr.. Navin is present with the team

stands at Bennett park the most avail
able OF the ideas that he is able to
secure from the efforts OF his prede-
cessors in the art of permanent stand
construction.
In New York, Mr.. Navin plans to
make a thorough inspection of both
the American anu National league
grounds. He Will also make the trip
TO Philadelphia, where both clubs have
swell new plants.
In all probability he will take in
the monster park that is being con-
structed by Barney Dreyfuss for the
Pirates at Pittsburg.
Mr.. Navin does not face the neces-
sity for Immediately constructing
complete plant, but expects to make
his grandstand along what is now the
left field fence, the nucleus of a har-
monious whole, the details OF the re-
naming plans To be worked out as
soon as The present structures outlive
their usefulness. Though the main
stand is the only Improvement plan
ned for the coming year, a general

Today's Pitchers Doubtful.

The pitching selections or Doth mani
ayers will not be determined until the
teams arrive at the field this after
noon. Il would not surprise those on
the inside, IL Jennings should decide to
use Mullin, though Suggs and Killian
are both possibilities. and Works looks
worth a trial on his good showing OF
the opening day OF the series, when he
relieved Summers and shut the Yam
KEGS out In the closing periods. Don
