MOTHER innovation for the conf
. fort and convenience Of Newark

A MOTHER innovation for the conf
~ fort and convenience Of Newark
n fans suggested By Joe MeGinnity
is being considered by the Public Serv-
ice Corporation, and will probably be
decided upon. The Newark manager
got his idea from a letter printed III
the Rooters' Column of the Evening
STAR, where many other invaluable
suggestions have been made. The idea
is to run the Market street cars which
now turn back at the Pennsylvania
station loop, with the exception of the
Kinney line. direct to the baseball park
on Sundays and holidays. Thus Bloom
field fans can go direct to the SOUNDS
without changing cars, and the same
with those who use the Central avenue
OF course. this schedule, If adopted, will
be in vogue only within two hours
previous to the time set for the start
of the game. 1t is possible that the
cars on these ines will be run oil
scheduled time, so that the fans car
make arrangements to catch a certain
car. This system is employed In many
other Eastern League towns, espec ally
In Rochester. and is a success. It was
tried last year in Newark on Sunday
In leaving the grounds, but no arrange
ments were made for conveying the
fans to the park without changing o.
transferring.
A representative of the trolley CON
pany went over the grounds with Man
ager Joe McGinnity and Secretary
Frank ]. McTague yesterday to con
slider the plan of putting in a loop o.
a spur at the park. 1t was finally de
cided to abandon that plan. Instead o
~cross-over switch between the two
tracks al the foot OF Hamburg place
will be installed about 700 feet west
of the main entrance, and the cars viii.
line up about fifteen minutes before the
finish of the game on both tracks in
stead of going around the Magazine
street loop, as Of yore. Under the new
arrangement the fans wlli not have to
walk down 4. block In order to get d
seat, but can pack into the cars on
either track, ard the cars viii be
started as fast as they arc filled. There
will not be the old confusion whom tbs
cars were running in both directions
On Sundays special cars viii be run
which will not stop to take on passen-
gers after passing the -Four Corners
these cars will be labeled express
The plan of paving the street below
the railroad will come up for consid-
Grafton later, and the chances are thai
the street will be paved.
Henry Clay Smith, Joe McGinnity'.
partner, left for Chicago last night
He was pleased with the way the new
plant is progressing and hopes to sec
it completed when he returns for the
opening game of tho Eastern League
seasot.
Smiths journey to the East was part
ly to secure a big contract for the Chi
cago firm, of which he is a head. The
contract calls for his firm to supply al
of the iron and steel for a monster
new dock being built in Manhattan.

American League team to the south
and assist in the training Of that teams
catchers.
Ducky Drake Will probably wind VI
in Buffalo this season. If George stall
ings can induce Manager McAleer, OF
the Senators, TO waive claim on him.
1t is also limited that the Detroit clu
has made an offer to the New Yorl'
Americans for the release of Pitcher
Louis Brockett. who retired of his ~
accord, and that if tho deal goes
through Brockett will return to tn
game under his old boss. George r..
