YANKEES new HOME
A PALATIAL AFFAIR
Farrell Makes Public the
Plans for Huge Stadium
at KingSbridge.

Frank ]. Farrell, president and chief
owner of the New York Yankees, an
nounced yesterday in detail the. plans for
the new stadium which is being built for
his team at Kingsbridge and exhibited
some pictures of the stand as It will look
when completed.
, Work will begin this week, and the
contract stipulates that the stadium must
be completed in September.
The plans call for double decked steel
grandstand which will seat 20, 900 spec
tatots. The uncovered stands, or bleach
ers. which will extend beyond the left
and right field foul posts, will accommo-
date 1900 more. while it will be possible
for some 5000 or 5000 additional persons
to witness the games standing on the
field Thus It will be possible for 1000
fans to look on when the Yankees fight
it out in a worlds series.
1t will be necessary % drive piles for
the foundations of all the stands, includ-
ing an up-to-date clubhouse for the home
and visiting teams. But this important
factor will be finished within two months,
so that early In June the concrete and
steel workers can begin their work. The
main entrance will lead directly from
Broadway and 226th street to the rear Of
the grandstand.
The entrances to both decks will con-
meet with the platforms Of the subway
station at that corner. The left wing and
bleachers will extend far around the out
field to a point in left centrefield. The
right wing of the grand and open stands
will not extend beyond first base.
From the home plate to the left foul
pole will be 325 feet. From the plate to
the right ied wall the distance will be
$50 feet, while the distance from the
plate straight to the barrier in centre
field will be $50 feet. The playing arena
will be greater in area than either the
Polo Grounds or Ebbets Field.
The New York Central has agreed to
build a sx-track terminal between the
main line station at Marble Hill and 225th
street, where ten-car trains can load and
unload persons who prefer to go by way
of the Grand Central Terminal. The rail-
road company guarantees TO run express
trains from 42d street to the new park in
eighteen minutes, also in the same time
going back.

WILSON WILL MEET
NEWARK INDIANS
international Winners Will Stop
at White House on the
WAY North.

President Wilson will show his sppreei-
alton of the Newark Indians for bringing
the International League pennant to his
home state of New Jersey by giving them
an audience in Washington when the base
ball players arrive there next Wednesday
for a four-game series Of exhibition con-
tests with Clark Grifith's Senator'S.
The meeting with the nations Chief
Executive has been set for the morning,
as announced yesterday by Representative
Eugene Kinkead. from New Jersey part
OF whose district lies in Newark.
The suggestion 10 Mr.. kinkead was
made by John Shields, one OF the party
of Newark men who have been with the
team during its FIVE weeks of training In
the South,
The Newarks are scheduled TO finish
their training trip next Saturday, and Will
arrive home for a game with the Phlia-
delphia Athletics in Newark next Sunday
afternoon. The Redskins have not met
with good success in the South. They
were all right when in Columbus, where
they were training, but since starting on
their trip North playing exhibition games
they have encountered cold and wet
weather. which is said to have thrown
them of, AID they have lost six straight
games.
They are without a regular first base
man to fill the vacancy left when Harry
Swacina jumped to the Baltimore Federals
and they are without a good substitute
catcher. Zach Erhsrd, Bronx boy Is
holding down the initial sack and he is
doing il pretty well.
They also lost their star outfelder when
Charley Ebbets took Jack Dalton over to
Brooklyn a week ago.
