FIELDER JONES' PIPE DREAM
Would Build Ball Yard to Seat $780,
600 Persons-Used Only for
World Series Games.

Fielder Jones, manager of the ST.
Louis Browns, has an idea that comes
pretty close to being a pipe dream.
1t involves the erection of baseball
plant that will seat 10000 and be
used only for world series games.
The world series is really some
thing apart from the National and
American league races" says Jones.
1T is the grand climax of the two
stirring races, and appeals as much to
the fan in Bangor, Me-, as to the fan
in Portland, Ore.
Provision should be made so that
all the fans who want to see the big
series could do so, and be sure of &C.
commodations.
Organized baseball might provide
the big plant at an outlay of about
100000. Some community might do
nate the land, the railroads and other
enterprises that reap benefits could
chip in to defray expenses.
"The world series advertises itself
because fans think about the big
games from the start of the season

and Have Exhibited Rare Heroism
in Devotion to Duty-Equip
1900 Hospitals.

Paris.-There are now 66, 449 women
in the French Red Cross volunteer
army, equipping 1900 hospitals with
an aggregate of 11S,000 beds. The
Red Cross flag now flies above 2SS
buildings in Paris alone.
The Society for Aid to Wounded Sol
diers, the largest of the three Red
Cross organizations and the originator
of the work in France in 1864, expend-
ed 80, O00, OO0fcs. ($6, 400,O0O) during the
first seventeen months of the war. The
society has operated 796 hospitals.
with 81 ,081 beds, and given a total of
100000 days care to wounded SOL
diers Besides these hospitals the So
,ciety maintains hospital of 500 beds
at Saloniki, ninety-three refugees es-
tablished in the sixth and twentieth
military regions in France, seventy in
frmaries in railroad stations and for
ty-fve railroad canteens
The cost of maintenance of hospitals
varies so much that it is difficult to
establish average cost per capita per
diem, but as near as can be calculated
this society has brought it's cost down
to little more than three francs (six-
ty cents) day.
The Union des Femmes de France,
the second in Importance of the Red
Cross societies, has 28,446 nurses,
