Cubs to Houe Largest Single Deck Stand In The Baseball World

CHICAGO, March 4.-(By Associat- ed Press.)-Chicago will have the largest single deck baseball stand in the country when the new Cubs park is completed for the opening of tho 1923 season. The work is rapidly nearing completion at a cost of near ly s400,00o.
 When finished the park will have a seating capacity of approximately 31,000 compared with a previous ca pacit yof 17,50o. There will be 9,277 box seats, 16,572 grand stand seats and about 5000 bleacher seats.
 The old steel and concrete stand, which was erected in 1914 by the Chicago Federal League club and taken over by the Cubs with the ab- sorptiGn of the Federals in 1916. was cut into three parts. The side sec- tions were moved back while the cen tral section was left in it's original position and the open space between the stands was filled in with new sections.
 One Square Block.
 The new grounds and stand will occupy one square block. There will be twenty entrances, and thirty tick ct windows. Heretofore, the park had only one set Of bleacher seats but under the reconstruction, there will be bleacher seats in both right and left fields.
 With the enlargement of the stand also came an enlargement of the playing field. The diamond was moved back sixty eight feet, and then turned more to the northwest The distance from the home plate to the centre field is 40 feet. The depth of the playing field at the foul lines will be about 345 feet.
 The cost Of the stand at the time of it's erection was approximately $350, 0,o0O. The plant exclusive of the franchise, will now be worth ap- proximately $750,000.
 A six room bungalow will be built in the northwest corner of the site to be used by the ground superin- tendent as a home and office.

ton to his charges above mentioned
Last spring he was sent ON survey

of Africa, with the idea of establish
ing an Episcopal mission there. It
was later announced that he was To be
sent ms the director of this work AT
any rate his many friends thruout this

n ERAIANY has been declared, by
" the reparaiions commission. Ia he

doesn't seem 10 be OF great importance,
resents decided victory for France,
which has contcnded for a long time
that Germany could be placed in volun-
tary default by majority vote of the
commission. Great Britain, holding the
opposing view, had been supported by
by them on this issue and her repre-
sentative cast the only vote against the
action. Mussollni appears 10 have
swung to the French side IN the repara-
tons dispute. and II may be that in
the session of the allied premiers in
Paris this week he and 1heunis of
Belgium will stand with Poincare. leav-
ing Bonar Law alone in his effort TO
restrain the French from taking rad
ical steps to collect from Germany.
More than 60 per cent Of Germany's
wood deliveries We're made, but she
said she could do no more and that
the deliveries for 1923 must be greatly
reduced. She also announces she can
not deliver the 10000 tons Of pure
nitrogen due on separations account
because the German production of this
commodity is already far below domes-
tic requirements.
France according to selni-ollicial
statements, feels that unless she
exacts forfeits from Germany she faces
absolute ruin, and consequently She in
tends to get the forfclts, even If pay
ment In full cannot be obtained, How
ever, NJ. Poineare does not now Intend
to seize the Ruhr valley by force of
arms. His present plan is TO send In
customs officials TO collect revenues
and In this way wiring reparations from
SHINES and the other rich industrial
lists whose resources the German gov
ernment has so far refused to draw
upon. These magnates have steadily
opposed all plans for payment of war
obligations, and at the same time have
been pillng up vast fortunes in eoun-
try that claims to be poverty stricken
and starving. Naturally the French
are bitter against them, and naturally,
too, France cannot stomach the British
policy which calls mainly for gentle
treatment of Germany so that British
trade may benefit
While Poincare's program does not
involve a military invasion of the Ruhr,
II provides for the use Of the army
TO protect the civilian officials to he
sent into that region Judging by the
past, such protection will be necessary.
