On Saturday evening, Nov. 16, at
the home OF Mrs. Green, the Young
Women's Foreign Missionary Society
held a reception for Miss B%rethorst, a
missionary from West China. A most
pleasant evening was spent by the
forty or more young people who were
present. A fine reading was given by
Miss Breed. Then Miss B%rethorst, in
a most thrilling way. told of her work
in West China, of the customs there
and the great need for workers. She
showed many curios and pictures, and
introduced a guest in the richly en-
broidered gown of a lady of rank,
another in the costume Of a merchant
of the middle class. Most delicious
refreshments We're served by the hos
tess. AS a result OF Miss Brethorst's
plea for workers the w. f. M. S. has
assumed the support Of a teacher in
n of her schools in West China.

STAGE GAMES IN
MODERN PARKS
Great Worlds Series Far
From Corner Lot Va
riety Nowadays.

New York. Oct. THE world SER
les games will be staged. both at New
York and Boston. in theatres of the
new steel and concrete type which
nearly half OF the major league cities
now boast OF and which others are
fast copying for the safety and con-
venience Of spectators. The building
Of these permanent homes for base
ball is repeatedly pointed to as an in
game.
The New York national club claims
to have eclipsed al! other major
league cities in this respect with its
mammoth stadium at the Polo
grounds, at the followed base Of Coog-
ans rocky bluff. at the north of the
city. This will be the scene this year
OF woldr series contests for a second
consecutive time. In Boston. the
American league pennant winners
boast OF as fine a structure, but of
smaller proportions. erected early this
year at Fenway park, in the Back Bay
section of the city.
The historic Polo grounds, home of
the Giants, is expected to provide this
Year for a greater crowd of spectators
than { witnessed a ball game be-
fore. The world record was establish
ed there at the opening game last fall,
when in an incompleted state the am
pitheatre was crowded with 3S,2S1
persons by actual count at the gates.
The great stadium has since been
completed, and will now seat comfort
ably a crowd as large as last year, at
which time several thousand persons
stood. The main structure is in the
shape of a horse shoe of steel and
concrete, curving around more than
half the field, and having. double
decks, seating in individual chairs over
$4,000 persons. In addition to this.
the bleacher seats accommodate 49,
900.
The structure which the Boston
Americans have in Fenway park is al
so Of the fireproof and modern-con-
v%enience type. but a single-decked
affair. seating about 1900 in the
main stand. 1t was built with the idea
that an upper tier might be added lat
er if needed, but this was not attempt
ed for the world series. A temporary
addition. to accommodate about 5000
persons have been made to the grand
stand, and temporary seats provided
also between center and right field
bleachers to accommodate about g.
600 also. Wit hthe regular bleachers,
the total capacity will be raised to
probably over 10000.
