.SHIBR PARK MAY
HAVE Big BATTLE
Franklin Field Too Small
for Army.Navy Contest.
80 . Ths Washinrton Herald.


Annapolis. Md, Nov. 2S.-The athletic
officials at West Point and Annapolis
are dissatisfied because Of the insufficient
number Of tickets, under present cOndi-
tions. 10 meet imperative demands. and
unless the University Of Pennsylvania
can make some provision TO improve con-
ditions il is likely that the Army-Navy
game will not be played on Franklin
Field again.
The three-year agreement ended with
this season. and while highly appreciat-
ing Pennsylvania courtesy, yet some
thing must be done. Philadelphia is re-
garded as the ideal place for the game
because of central location. To play in
either Washington or New York, as sug-
gested in some quarters, is out of ques-
ton, because of the greater distance from
one or the other academy. II no salts
factory terms are made by Pennsylvania,
il is probable that Shibe Park, a baseball
ground in Philadelphia, will be chosen.
This would give the Army and Navy
each half Of the seats for distribution,
instead OF one-third each, under present
arrangements.
The authorities of the rival academies
will shortly take the matter up for con
sideration

It is not believed that the Athletics
would be favorable TO the scheme. al

Major league teams I'm the past have
objected 10 playing even exhibition games
az Atlantic city owing 20 the skin" dia-
mond there. The grounds are barren OF
grass and the ball shoots SO fast or the
ground that the players are much more
liable to injury than they are on the big

comes 'wingy, and II is much more diff
fcult 10 throw or 10 pitch.
This objection, il is claimed. can be
easily obviated by the sodding OF the field.

that the present management OF the Phil

Ryder, OF the Cincinnati Enquirer, who
witnessed all OF the Reds games, both at
home and abroad, has gone carefully over

Chance came nearest TO this mark with
sixty-seyen TO his credit During The
past ten years Wagner. of Pittsburg has
led the base stealers five times, Chance
and Bescher each twice, and Maloney
once.
Ryder has carefully compiled Bescher' s
record and he has found that In four
games Bob stole three bases in each. and
that In one game, against New York,
with Meyers and Schlei catching, he pill
fered four times. He stole fifteen times
on Brooklyn's catchers. fourteen times
against the Giants. and twelve times
against Doom. Moran, and Jackiitsch, of
the Phillies
1t is particularly interesting 20 note
that in about twenty games against the
Chicago Cubs Bescher stole only five
