Lippman Property is Ideal Ball Park, Says Baumbac

this question. why doesn't Notre
Dame bring some OF the big foot
ball teams here %
The reason is this: They cannot
afford 20 guarantee en- outside team
enough money because the attend
ance doesn't warrant II, and the rea-
son for this state OF affairs is that
Cartier field is too far away, too
inaccessible for the general public 20

I have seen close 20 5000 people
at SpringbroOk park at a ball game.
and that was about four years ago.
II can be done again with the right
conditions prevailing. If this SPOT is
not available there are still a few
others that could be turned into a
mecca for the general public. prin-
cipally Leeper park where there is
plenty OF room for this same ar
rangement. There are arguments
that this Is too expensive a task, but
with a few features added sucn as
a roller coaster or chutes and min
allure pleasure park. this could be
turned into a paying proposition.
The Lippman site could be con-
nected with Howard park by simply
building a small footbridge connect
ing the two. II would take some time
70 accomplish this but a good start
could be made by bringing baseball
back 20 South Bend. and by build
ing an athletic field which we need
for several reasons, and which would
also be a good investment, even

FRACTURED SKULL
CAUSES DEATH IN
PLACE OF JUICE

A fractured skull, not electrocu-
ton, caused the death of Harry La
Borde, helper in the sub-station of
the Peoples Light company, Third
street and Pershing avenue, Dav-
export, who was found dead in the
high tension room about 1 O'Clock
Wednesday morning.
This fact was definitely estab-
lished by a post-mortem examina-
ton performed by Dr. John D. Can't
well. assisted by Dr. P. A. Bendixen,
in Stapleton's undertaking parlors,
Fourth and Perry streets.
No point of exit for the electric
current could be found on the body,
although it is possible that the
Juice" may have entered on the
right hand. From this fact it was
apparent that the man had not died
from electrocution.
On the other hand, severe frac-
ture of the base of the skull was
found, and blood clots were found
on the brain. This established
Clearly the cause of death.
1t is believed that young La
Borde. while cleaning a switch, got
a slight shock, and that the electri-
city hurled him to the floor, where
he struck his head on a protruding
bolt and fractured his skull.
The attending physician said that
when he arrived at the scene of the
accident rigor mortis had not set
IN, as is usual in cases of electro
cution. He was unable until after
the autopsy to determine the cause
Of death.
