TON.

Ottawa with its numerous and
faithful baseball enthusiasts Is sore.
ly in need Of an adequate baseball
park, the fire at the fair grounds hav.
ing wiped out further consideration
Of those grounds as "A desirable
grounds for the continuation of the
sport here.
A well considered plan Is on foot
among the more prominent baseball
officials and deyotees Of Ottawa for
the establishment Of a new and in.
dependent baseball park TO be erect
ed in West Ottawa, according to the
statements this morning Rumors
that the Cubs association was plan
ming to erect an independent park,
as is the case in most baseball towns,
have been travelling fast about the
city. OF course as yet there is moth
ing official regarding the erection of
the stand and the park, although the
spirit thus far Is very fine and mem
bers and officials of the local club
are awaiting further word from mem
bers Of the La Sale County fair as
ISOLATION. in whose hands the matter
OF making plans for new grand
stand at the fair grounds has been
placed
As yet no return statements have
been received by the Fans assoCia-
ton regarding tie erection Of the
stand at the fair grounds and Wheth-
er or not it will he up in time for the
local team to open the season is a
question hard to decide President
William d. Duncan and Manager Din
ny Dunn of the Cubs are as much
in the dark now at they ever were
with the result that they were forced
to look elsewhere for playing grounds.
They haven't fully dropped their plan
Of playing at the fair grounds this
year but as the season is growing
nearer and as they haven't received
any information from the fair asso-
citation the plan of erecting their own
park is being considered.
First thought OF an independent
ball park found life a short time ago
when officials of the c., o. & p, rail
way introduced the plan to President
Duncan no doubt with the intention
of sharing the expense. At that time
it was planned to build the park
along the G.. O. & p. line in West
Ottawa, where the circuscs have been
held. 1t would be an ideal site for
such park and would no doubt prove
n better site for games than that OF
the fair grounds.
Of course the baseball association
would have to first get a clear title
to the ground on which they would
erect the stand They couldn't do it
alone and would naturally need the
support of the people Of Ottawa to
carry out their plans The stand in
all events would cost at least from
$4,000 to $4,000. Below the stand
a very elaborate dance hall would be
erected around which would be a gal
lery and a large open space at which
luncheons would be served
The only thing now that is hold
ing the proposition back is that some
body hasn't come to the front to lead
it through. Somebody must take the
lead and once that the ball is rolling
everything will turn in ace high.
Conditions for such an undertaking
in Ottawa are very excellent. There
is probably no other town in this
