Next 10 the probable addition Of play
ers to the ranks of the Nationals. the
matter Of principal concern to W ashing-
ton fsndoTn, Is the question as to just
what it is proposed to do in the way Of
improving facilities at National Park
before the opening Of the next cam
paiRn-
Although it is net generally known, IT
IS fact that every feature of the re-
bUildic4< or rearTanSemeut OF National
Park has been under serious considera-
ton OF the pOWeLS that be IN the club.
The liberal support of the team when
IL showed fias res Of real baseball last
year convinced the management that IL
a winning combination is finally OBJ
tained. II will be necessary TO have ad-
ditiOnaI seating capacity
In most OF the bali parks OF the land
the plate is in one OF the corners Of the
park. and the batter faces the angle at
the other extreme. But here the case
is different National Park IS so ar
ranged that the rubber is midway be
tween the right and the left field fence,
with the result that much valuable space
is lost near the entrance that could be
put to EOod use tf-the ARRANGEMENT that
prevails at other places were followed.
How TO get around the rather aWk-
ward situation has been thoroughly
considered One suggestion has been
that the gTandstand and first base pa
villiOn be moved back. thereby making
space for further building. and the
other has been to extend the pavilion
into the bIeaCherS, move hack the cen
ter field fence, and build seats for the
sun gods IN center field
Both these plans are being worked
out, but q decision in the matter Is not
likely TO be reached until after Christ
mas BI-t one point has already been
decided, md that is that there VIII be
more seating room al National Park
when the gates are thrown open for
