Where Park Will Be Built.

The piece of property on which Rup-
pert and Huston expect to build is at
present occupied by a Hebrew orphan
asylum, and has been sought by them
for more than two years They re-
Trained from building heretofore because
they were satisfied with the terms I'M
der which they were permitted to use
the Polo grounds; they were even urged
by other American league club owners
to construct a plant OF their own, but
forced to move and Will have heaps Of
trouble getting ready FOR the coming
season, as the orphanage' buildings have
to be torn down, the property cleared Of
trees and work begun on the baseball
structure. How soon this can be dono
Is not known, but 1t may be long after
the first Of the year, as the Hebrew in
stitution liz not ready TO move because
Ats new buildings In the Bronx are not
yet ready for occupation.
What caused the split between the
owners of the two New York clubs Is
not known. but 1t Is understood there
has been considerable ennity between
them for more than a year. 1t in
creased this spring when someone con-
nected with the Yankee organization
took steps to have a certain pitcher
stopped from joining McGraw's club.
This, II is said, brought the trouble to
a head and caused President Stoneham
to notify Rupert and Huston that their
lease for 1929, would not be renewed
under any circumstances.
Must Hustle to Prepare Park.
The decision of the Giant officials UNI
doubtedly is a blow to the American
league magnates, 1t was unexpected, as
efforts were made to intercede and for
a while it seemed as II the intermedl-
aries would be successful, but Presi-

of what had been attempted against his
team, fatty refused, and decided to
make 1t as difficult as possible for his
rivals. That he has succeeded In doing
so Is not to be doubted, as it surely Is
a problem for Rupert and Huston to
get the Amsterdam avenue property
cleared in time to start work on "a
plant and have 1t ready by spring.
For nearly 10 years the Polo grounds
have been used by the Yankees. In that
time the club prospered and 10 need
was seen to erect another park, as 1t
was believed the agreement between
the two clubs would go on Indefinitely.
The owners OF the American league
club realized how difficult 1t was to
did not bother about trying to build.
1t was cheaper to use the Polo grounds
and also reduced the expenses OF the
Giants. Besides, the fans of New York
| were satisfied to go to the Polo grounds
to watch both teams play, as the trans
p~ortation is ideal, 155th street being the
terminal for many Of the elevated
trains.
The location Ruppert and Huston are
said to have under consideration at
| Amsterdam avenue and 13Sth street is
| said to be adequate for "a ball park. II
| covers two city blocks, Is opposite the
City of New York college n is only
a few minutes walk from the 137th
street station of the Broadway subway,
The plot is said to be suitable for a bal
park Capable OF seating $4,000 people.

EYEs10HT AND BOXING.

No-declsion contests, inherently, are
bad for the game. They leave too wide
a gap for comment, and too free a
reign for activities on the part of I'M
scrupulOus but alleged smart managers,
Their speed and ability TO reach the
telegraph office with their flatterig
yarns Of victory is well known, But
that which puzzles many Is just how
a pair Of fans can sit in the same
house and in the same row and see the
same bout In W different lights,
At the Moore-White affair of Mon
day night. Moore established a winning
margin In every one of the eight rounds.
II was an unquestioned victory to any
student OF the game-as clear and as
plain as the nose on a face, But In a
heated debate Tuesday this remark was
dropped by an intelligent mani: II real
ly cant see how anything less than a
victory for White could follow his fine
work Of Monday night. He outboxed
and outhit Moore and was the more
aggressive Of the two"
Imagine FL Or can you?
The unacduaintAd have this great
fault: In place Of watching both boys
In action they foilow the work of but
one-the lal they have either picked to
win or have backed with a small wager.
The amount may nave been very small
1t may have been laid, not for the pleas
ure Of winning but simply to have a
bit at stake; but II has served the pur-
pose Of binding the fan to all except
the attack Of his own man,
From his perch he watches his party
jab and block, duck and counter but
he misses the rest. He never sees the
other fellow using his right, blocking
neatly or employing a deadly hook.
The rest is simple. At the end his
tabulation is one sided. He has the
score Of but half Of the battle. There
fore, his queer conclusion.
Only those who regularly follow the
sport have learned to watch both sides
at once. This may sound WOODY OF
foolish, but it Is true.
