That afternoon Mr.. Moreland ap-

asked: Fred, what WI the name Of that
Idaho pitcher we got the tip on last

New York, April 22.-The finest

stadium in the United States will
take the place of the burned
Horseshoe" at the Polo Grounds
when the umpire calls play BALI
at the opening of the season of
1912. This was settled to-day
when Treasurer John Whalen. OF
the New York baseball club,
signed a lease giving the club
possession of the Polo Grounds
for the next twenty-five years.
It is estimated that the cost Of
the structure will be $1,000 900.
The long-term lease which was
signed to-day was considered alb
solutely necessary by the base
ball financiers to justify the tre-
mendous expense involved in put
ting up the mammoth fireproof
stadium which is now practically
assured.
Within the next few days. II Is
