The White Construction Company, Of
95 Madison Avenue, will do all tho
pouring Of concrete and laying Of steel
at the future home Of the Hugmen for
the comparatively Insignificant sum Of
S1,250000. The rest OF the $4,000 600
so carelessly mentioned by the Yankee
magnates is distributed among various
worthy causes, such as buying tho site
decorating the interor-to- and put
ting aside reserve fund for expan-
sion beyond the present contract.
While there has been little dosul-
tory filing and grading going on at the
161st Street location, IT WAS unofficial
and did not count in the standing Of
the clubs who were bidding on the con
tract. The first official blow therefore
will be struck at a. m. this morning
whom Tony Nenezotti better known a.
Driver No. 243, backs up his dump
cart Of "clean full tips his load and
shouts "Giddap" to his long sufering
team There were four signers to the
contract yesterday, Colonels Rupert
and Huston for the parties Of the first
part, and G.. Edward fischer, president,
and James w. Escher, secretary treas
urer, for the White Construction Com
pany.
Stands To Be Triple Deck
The present specifications call for a
triple deck reinforced concrete grand
stand that will seat $1,000 paying
quests, with temporary wooden bleach-
era to hold some 10000 additional
spectators. In time, the triple deck
prandstand will be built entirely
around the playing field, and 1t IS TINS
feature of future operations on Whlcn
the colonies are relying to brIng Jhe
total cost around the S3,O0o,00Q-dQil Hat
level. Said Colonel Tillinghast l. II ON

should be called a rubber plant. " re
lust sowing the seed now, and we re g.
going to stretch the plant every yea.
Eight months from yesterday IS the
oyniration time for the completion o.
the present contract, but when pre9st'l
for an answer on the prospects o.
nlaving the worlds series at the ne"
narL in the event that the Hugglns
gov Gallons off with the American
LEAGUE gonfalon. G. Edward kscher
said: "If the Yanks will do their
part toward bringing the world series
in the general direction OF the
stadium. the White Constructor ooh-
many will undertake the job OF having
the grounds sufficiently completed 10
stare the contest" Colonel Rupert
grabbed that remark on the fly and
eountered: well, better get your
grounds ready in that case, because
we're going to win that pennant.
Stucco Effects Waived Out
Bald figures mean nothing to the
baseball fan in the matter Of engineer
ing or architecture, but just 70 ihahe
il a matter Of record it might be
stated that the new stadium Will be
composed entirely Of reinforced con
crete. excepting, of course. the TEN
norarv wooden bleachers. The granite
blocks and stucco effects, which were
once contemplated for exterior decora-
tion. have been waived out OF the
league. Two thousand tons OF steei
will be covered up by some $4,000
cubic wards of concrete before the
White Construction Company ceases
As stated before. the seating ca
pacity provided under the present
snecihcations will be in the nelghbor-
hood of 10000, but the two colonies
promise to proceed at the work O.
building the triple deck stand all the
way around the field as fast as they
can get people to sit IN the seats.
When the encircling process IS com
pleted the ultimate capacity VIII be
approximately $4,000, witch would be
called fair-szed g-.Nering in any
village for any purr.se whatsoever
