NEW SITE CHOSEN
FOR THE BELD|NG
BASE BALL FIELD
SECOND INJUNCTION AND CO.
INCIDENT OFFER OF NEW
GROUNDS

Following Judge Davis decision of
a week ago in the case of G.. G. Briggs
VS.. The City of Belding and the Beld-
ing Base Ball association. second in
junction was served on Mayor Under
wood, Guy Alexander and DR.. T.. w.
Little last Monday evening.
The second injunction took on more
of a blanket form and embodied some
OF the terms that were evident in the
late decision of the Judge. 1t practi-
cally prohibited the practice games of
the team and made it almost impos-
sible for them to play on the grounds
at all Evidently the intention of the
second injunction was TO entirely pro-
hbit the playing of ball on the field, as
il gave the team the privilege of play
ing there until new location could be
found and prepared.
Almost coincident with the serving
of the injunction on the officials Of
the city and base ball association came
the announcement from Henry j..
Leonard that new grounds would be
available for base ball purposes. He
announced that arrangements had
been made with the Belding interests
by body of representative men to
acquire a field from the Belding Land
& Improvement company on a long
lease, upon which TO play base ball
This body OF land is situated on the
right hand side Of Water street and
Immediately south of Elm street. Elm
street is situated on the west side of
Flat river and is a continuation of
west Washington street on the west
of the river The ground is reached
by going west on Water street from
the west Main street bridge. The
offer on the part of the Improvement
company, MIR. Leonard and other
citizens. was accepted and the Base
Ball association have begun changing
the equipment of the grounds to the
new park. Work was started this
Wednesday morning.
The new location will not require
much work To place it in condition for
playing. The management is con-
iident that everything including the
grand stand will be finished and ready
for the game Saturday August p,
The diamond will be laid with the
home plate in the northeast corner OF
the field The fields will lie off to
the southwest and back of them the
high bank or terrace, private ground,
will make natural inclosure for the
field. A small marsh will inter-
fere with the extreme right field and
may need draining and some filling.
Aside from this the grounds will only
need TO he graded and rolled. The
fence from the old diamond will he
moved To- the new park and erected
around it,
The grand stand VIII he built on the
same plans as were formerly laid out
for IT, To the east and north of the
stand and within the limits of the
ground there will be plenty of room
for parking automobiles.
The members Of the association say
that work of preparing the new
grounds will be less than would have
been required to change the diamond
on the old park. The new park will
be used for base ball only, except by
permission. Games will be PLAYED on
the old grounds until the new ones
are ready.
IL is understood that Brinton +. Hail
and Fred A. Washburn have each
given $50 and c. c. Briggs $40 toward
preparing the new park.

U. S. SHOTS WARNED
TWO WARSHTPS OFF
NEW YORK, is RUMOR
French and British Chased
Within Three-mile Limit,
Is Rumor - Guns Fired
From Sandy Hook Battery.

NEW YORK, Nov. A.-Two solid shots
from the United States fortincations at
Sandy Hook were fired at British and
French cruiser that had chased a neutral
ship within the three-mile limit, It was
learned on reliable authority yesterday.
The incident took place about ten days
ago. Since then the cruisers have not
been seen Off this fort.
This was eliminating incident in the
game Of hide-and-seek British and
French men Of war have been playing
with merchant vessels of Ambrose Chan
mel since the European war began.
The warships, according to reports,
have been chasing their prey closer to-
ward shore haven.
The excited watchers who tell of seeing
the cruisers closing in on neutral prey as
the United States guns barked what they
interpreted as a warning message were
sure II was solid shot that came from the
coast cannon. They saw the water about
the bows Of the two cruisers stirred into
tremendous spray.
The spray concealed the craft for
AuilS lNO iilIluteb' anu Wnen IL dispersed
the warshIps we're hurrying away. The
prey they sought slipped gratefully to
shelter.
Military authorities are maintaining
strict silence regarding the affair,
which has stirred that section OF the
Jersey coast as It has not been thrilled
In years One of the Jerseymen who
brought the reports of the exciting
episode said:
Those two alien warships have not
been seen slnce-even through the most
powerful glasses / saw them as they
made in sweeping circles for the open
sea after Uncle Sam had warned them
that they were imposing on hospitality
and I'd know them II 1 saw them again
But not glimpse have caught of
either. It was about time the guns
spoke. The warshlps had been growing
more insolent every day and were con-
stantly dlsregarding the three-mile bar
Apparently the pair that got the warn
ing have been replaced by converted
Cunard liner which is careful TO keep
its distance"
Washington authorities were asked
about the incident last night. Brig
adier-G General Erasmus D. Weaver, chief
of the Coast Artillery Division, said:
They are firing solid shot from the
Sandy Hook proving ground every day.
II any shot dropped near vessel II could
only have been accidentally. while in
practice We have had no report of it."

WHEAT FTRMER
AT START TODAY,
TRADE is SMALL
Little Snap to Buying in Chi
cago Market and Traders
Hang Back for Develop
ments.

CHICAGO, Nov. 24.-wheat opened
firmer today, but trade was small. Cash
interests bought a little December and
commission houses took May.
1t was estimated that yesterdays ex-
port business In all positions would
amount to 2O0OoO bushels. The visible
supply in the United States increased
$4,000 bushels for the week to 74,e4,OO0
bushels. In Europe the supply is 7O.5Ot,OoO
bushels, against 6s1i4.OOO bushels last
week and ss,lOOOOO bushels year ago.
The market at Liverpool was 1rm on
lighter offers and an improved demand,
with American winters up 3D. on further
rains In Argentina English millers
bought more freely, and -four at Idvef-
pool was up Cd. The lighter receipts in
the United States served to encourage
speculative buying at Liverpool
There was little snap to the buying
here, however, and traders were inclined
to await developments. French thresh-
Ing returns were declared to be disap-
pointing, and that country will be com
PEELED to import largely. Seeding In Rus
sia is well advanced, and the area planted
Ia well covered with snow. Food sup
plies in Austria continue scarce. and
prices there are very high. In the United
Kingdom wheat Is starting we'll, and
sowing continues under favorable con-
ditions. Little farm work has been done
in Hungary. as the military demand has
taken practically all the labor. The area
in Bulgaria and Rumania will be larger
Corn was quiet and steady to little
easier. Some of the cash houses sold
futures moderately. The market at Liv-
erpool declined on heavy arrival s at
United Kingdom ports. and poor inquiry
for spot. The visible supply In the
United Kingdom is 24s7,OOO bushels, a de-
crease of 10000 bushels for the week.
Oats were quiet and easier.
