WORK ON NEW PARK.
Highlanders Will Have Fine Plant
in Which to Open Season.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Work on the
new park of the New York American
League base ball club will begin here
next week and will be rushed to COM
pleHon SO that the Highlanders ca Z
open there April II. The work has been
held up for several months by legal de-
lays incident to acquiring title to the land
necessary. The new stadium, which is
to be located at 221st street and Broad
way, will resemble in a general way the
new plant of the Giants.
The main stands will be dOuble-decked,
with seating capacity of 22.OO0 persons.
They will be constructed entirely of steel
and concrete, with rock foundations.
More stands along the left field will pro-
vide 1000 seats at 10 cents a head and
LOCO seats at % cents. All told, the new
plant will seat :s3,000 persons, with
standing room for 10000 in the outfield.
The shortest foul line from home plate
to stand will be 319 feet, giving an ex-
ceptionally large playing surface.

respect the Giants have done nothing to
make very impressive showing.
This is shown by the figures, for to date
but three bases have been stolen on
the Athletics catchers, which is hardly
a good showing for team which was
believed to be one of the greatest base
running aggregations.
While the showing Of the Athletics in
the last worlds series against the Cubs
opened the eyes Of some of the pessi-
mists, and they established themselves
then as most dangerous team. there
ARE few who have really realized just
how good a ball team Connie Mack has.
That principally because there is moth
ing flashy about his players. They go
along about their business in a business
like manner-never play real poor game
and very few that are not good. But
the present series is showing the Ath-
letics in their true form. 1t is a great
team. with a great manager, and it will
probably be several years yet before any
team will be able to beat them out of
first honors in the American League.

ries has its heroes, it also has its dis
appointments, and these are always nu-
merOus. In this instance the Giants are
naturally furnishing most of them.
There are but decidedly few men on
McGraw's team who have come up TO
expectations. Herzog, Doyle and Meyers
are the only ones who have played the
sort of ball that one would expect from
championship team, None of the
others, barring, of course, the pitchers,
have done anything that would warrant
them being styled among the really great
players Of the major leagues. Barring
Doyle, the entire infield has been a fail

Snodgrass or Murray has lived up to

tells why the Athletics have three of
the four victories to their credit But
their lack of hitting seems also to have
affected their fielding. as it usually does
with a lot of poor ball players. and the
wonder that they are champions is all
the greater.
When for several weeks prior to the
series the wonderful base-running pro-
cli-ities OF the Giants were heralded
throughout the country some of the adj
mirers Of the Athletics really feared that
this might be the cause of their undoing.
But Connie Mack was not fooled by these
predictions. He made the very wise re-
mark that before any one could steal
base he would have to reach first, as
that could never be stolen, and he seems
to have sized 1t up right, for in this
