ATHLETIC FIELD
LOOMING BRIGHT
The Prospects for Up-to-date
Grounds Here Better Than
in Years.

Much interest is being manifested In
the plans for an athletic field for the
city OF wilmington. Fields have been
suggested for the Wilmington High
school, the y. NJ. G. "A. and Friends
school, and according to the reports
that are now current. II viii not be
long before this city will boast of one
OF the finest fields in this part OF tho
country.
Several projects are now under con-
Alteration for athletic fields and ii Is
likely that one OF these deals viii be
closed i'm the near future. The people
back of the proposition have refused TO
make public the details, although 1t Is
known that the matter is in such shape
that a deal may be closed at any time
now. assuring the city of at least one
athletic field.
In addition TO the one proposition.
which is now likely TO be adopted, an
other field is likely TO be available for
ths city in a short time. Some promi-
nent persons have been working on a
plan for over year, and the reports
are that this deal may be closed In a
short time.
The need of an athletic field for this
city is self-evident and since the sub
Every Evening, there has been much
interest stirred up. Some of the lead
ing athletes of the city have come out
Tor the plan and declare that It will re-
suit i'm revival of interest in all

a great revival of interest In track
IND field athletics would undoubtedly
esult from the establishment OF an
Ip-to-date cinder track, which cannot
ne found in this city at the present
tine. The poor showing of runners
from this city i'm the various athletic
activities is charged up to the lack of
proper training facilities !
One of the leading clubs of this city
has under consideration a project for an
athletic field and the details of this
will be announced in a short time.
This club. 4 is understood, plans To
use the field for outdoor athletics, while
