tet has caused three surprises in the
tournament SO far and may spring it's
fourth tonight.
The last game of the evening will
be between st. Joseph's Prep and
MOorestown Friends. st. Joseph's has
we'll balanced team, and should come

BY EDWIN J. POLLOCK

It's the best looking bnll park I've
ever seen--in Leesburg.'

The Mayor then entered into a
lengthy speech on what could and would
be done to the grounds and their plans
for the erection of the stands and locker
rooms. Shetts presented some of his

phia, and Samuel became the boss of
the works.
Sans first act was to buy nil tbe
twine in Leesburg and citizens had TO
carry away unwrapped packages from
the corner grocery. BY the time sam
got all the string arranged. the ground
looked like huge tennis net. The
diamond was laid out. the inficld
sodded and grass seed was planted in
the outfield. Grandstands and bleach /.
ers were erected, with seating ca =
pacity Of more than thousand and
the whole field was fenced in. VIM
Elaborate details were included IN
the plans for the clubhouse under the
stands. Individual dressing rooms werc
erected for thirty four athletes and hot
and cold showers installed. Two good .
sized rubbing tables were built and
every comfort and convenience for the
players, even to coat changers in the
individual lockers, were taken care of.
Everything Contributed
Mayor Mackenzie was as proud ns
the provcrbial peacock when he led the
Pills into the grounds for the first
time.
Here it is, boys" he said, and Il
was all built by Leesburg citizens. we
didn't pay a cent Tor labor, and what
material wasn't contributed was bought
at cost. Even the ground was con :
tributed.
THAT left field fence is 235 fee,
away from the homeplate: it measures
3O2 on the right and $50 to center,
And every post and nail in the fekce,
grandstand, clubhouse and bleachers
was driven by some lawyer, doctor,
groceryman or druggist. It's all cy-
press wood and it'll never rot. The
sod was hauled from a point sixteen
miles away in blocks foot square.
We all helped, every one Of u.s."
Shettsline was amazed when he gazed
on the park.
THAT infeld would be n credit to q
major league club" he said. There
are plenty Of them not as good. And
this was all done in less than seven
weeks.
Such a ball park! I never did see
anything like it. It's the best train
