KIT N the first place, when a
sudden storm comes up
- and the rain pours down in
torrents, there is not a place at
Oriole Park that offers shelter
from a drenching. Soft drinks
are sold in paper containers that
consist of SO per cent ice. Gig
arettes are sold at 100 per cent
increase over prices in cigar
stores. The electrically operated
scoreboard, if it may be called
such. is as big a farce as l have
seen in recent years, for it is
always incorrect. When the an
nouncer comes on the field, in
stead of announcing the batteries
by names, he shouts that No. II
and No. 8, are for Jersey City,

through storm there, which
lasted for at least three quarters
of an hour, during which he had
no fear of getting wet. Curtains
had been erected around the park
by the Washington management
for such an emergency. And, then,
just think! Cigarettes at popular
prices. score cards at 5 cents,
an efficiently operated scoreboard,

If the management at Oriolc

cause a curtailment of the prof.

perhaps attendance will show a
decided increase

The following is from Mr..
Keck's column in the sports sec
ton of the Baltimore American:
"Our discussion q few days ago
of the attendance situation ct
OrioIe Park this year leads
reader, H. w. Pfundt, Of 929
North Eden street, to throw some
light on the matter with the fol-
lowing letter:
"'Dear Sir: Having read your
article in the American with re-
gard to the poor attendance at
Oriole Park, / will endeavor to
inform you Of some Of the reasons
for dissatisfaction among the fans.
/ heartily agree with you that
Baltimore, in point of population,
is a city of major league caliber
and should support its minor
league club with a view to event
ually attaining big league team.
We have a wonderful minor
league club and Manager Jack
Dunn is deserving of credit for
keeping his collection of stars to-
gether, but when you consider
conditions with regard to the well
fare and comfort of the patrons at
Oriole Park, l believe you will find
the solution to the question of
what has caused the decline in
attendance.

This promises to be the busiest
season for champions III the his
tory Of professional boxing. Until
recently the warriors Of the ring
took their vAcations in the good
old summer time. Now promoters,
with properly located great open
spaces, are bidding. so briskly for
championship attractions that
winter may become the dull sea-
son for the title holders.
It is quite possible that every
American champion will be seen
in action in New York or New
Jersey before October. The fly
weight title ID at stake at the
Polo Grounds next Monday night.
The new worlds feAtherweight
champion will defend his laurels
next month. Benny Leonard and
Lew Tender are said to be as
good rs matched for fifteen
rounds to a decision in mid-July.
Jack Dempsey will box Willis,
Firpo or Willard IN August or
September. Joe Lynch, bantam
champion; Johnny Wilson, middle
weight champion, and Eugene
Tunney, American light-heavy-
weight champion, may all appear
on one card in q big outdoor
tournament. Mike McTigle,
worlds light-heavyweight title
holder, will also be seen In action,
possibly against Tunney.
The only champ who is out Of
the picture at present is Mickey
Walker, who was recently de-
clared null and void in New York
State. However, if some pro-
moter steps forward with good
offer to Walker and Dave Shade
we have an idea that Walker can
make his peace with the boxing
commission.

A S soon as Jimmy Wilde and
a Pancho Villa pass out of
the picture the business Of
drumming up interest in the New
Jersey. argument between Jess
Willard and Luis Firpo will begin.
Willard has departed from
California and is due at the end
of this week. He will imn1e-
diately resume training at his old
quarters in Yonkers. Jess has
taken or 10 or Is pounds since
the Milk Fund show, but will have
nearly four weeks to work it of.
Firpo may not get back to New
York until late in June. The
fact that he was obliged to post
pone his appearance in Havana
FOR a week may result in a can
collation. of the bout scheduled
for Mexico City. If Luis Angel,
the demon dollar chaser, goes
through with his MEX" engage
n,ent he will not return to New
York until late this month.
The bout between the Kansas
niant and the Argentina financier
has been tentatively set for July

self praised, az in the above,
- and yet thprc is room for i'm
provement in the majors. He
who stops has begun to fall be-
hind.
In our travels around the league
we have noted room for improve
ment in many major league parks.
For instance, in the new Yankee
Stadium, fans are mulcted q dime
to have an usher dust off their
seats. Every usher carries con-
spicuously a little broom, just To
get this cline from every fan he
directs to d seat.
In Detroit, especially since the
addition of the upper tier, fans
are offered no signs in direction
as they enter the gates and may
easily become bewildered in seek
ing their seats.
In Boston some 1000 fans were
forced to leave the park through
single exit about ten feet wide.
Five adjoining gates were kept
closed. Why this was done could
not be guessed or learned.
Here in Washington, those cir
Gus seats should be removed from
left field. They necessitate
ground rules where there should
be none, thus interfering with the
enjoyment of the fans.
But, as the letter to Mr.. Keck
indicates, there is a vast differ
ence between baseball in the
majors and the minors.
