Spiller's Field at
Atlanta Unique
In Many Ways

Atlanta. May 11.-SpillerS Field At
lanta's newest athletic park and the
home of the Crackers. the Atlanta
Southern Associat ton baseball team, is
In many ways one of the most unique
fields of its kind in the south.
While built primarily for baseball
field, It is readily convertible into
field, stadium or arena for any athletic
purpose It covers space of 10 acres
and is 10 minutes trolley ride from
Five Points. the center of the city.
The plant cost $1S5, 900 complete, the
land on which it is situated being val
ued by II. J. Spiller at $22o,oOo add
tIonai. The grandstand normally seats
$500 persons and the bleachers 44oo'
There is standing room in the grand
stand to accommodate 1000 more with
out causing inconvenience to those VINO
are seated. If 1t should become neces-
sary within the next five years, the
seating capacity can he increased to
3eoO more. In case of larger crowds
ut some special event. there Is ample
room for the construction of Temporal
ry seating arrangements.
luxurious rest room for women
has been equipped. and competent
maid Is in attendance during all events
ut the field.
Lighting arrangements have been IN
stalled SO that prize nights ana other
events may take place at night. it Is
proposed to hold the projected STRIP
ling McTigue fight at Spiller Field as
n Kind of christening for night events
IL 1t is desired to hold pageant,
this can be done by utilizing huge hood
lights that are to be placed at strategic
positions about the field.
Another unusual feature centers
about the Jim Crow law. which necessl-
tates seating arrangements for negroes
separate from white people. Some OF
the most enthusiastic and vociferous
rooters in the south are negroes, whose
fog-horn voices can be heard above the
din. For negroes, Mr. Spiller has pro-
vided a separate grandstand. There are
also separate bleachers for negroes

field glasses. When there is no balloon
there is TO be no game that day.

What is the best way of
taking care of a good bat?
Answered by
JACK RENTT nv

JAIN DEN LIE
Pitcher. New York Giants: Known
as terrific slugger. Purchased from
baltimore for approximately $4,000
and worth II.
A good baseball bat should be pro-
tected by player because it is one
of his most effective working tools.
1t can be protected by not allowing
it to come in contact with extreme
temperature changes and by keep
ing it from very damp places or very
dry places.
If you really want to get regular
knockout" of bat. pick out one
which satisfies you and rub 1T with
Iinseed oil day after day. In about
two weeks or a month 1t will begin
to get ripe" 1t will feel like a
piece of fine tool steel in your/hands
and when 1t connects with the ball 1t
will give off ring which is almost
metallic. Furthermore, such a bat
will knock a ball farther, having
more resilency and "bite."

IT'S FOR RUM PIRATES TO FEAR
New Craft of Coast Guard Will
Prove to Be Formidable
Enemy

There has just been launched at East
Boothbay, Maine, the CG171, part OF the
United States rum-chasing navy. The
CG171 is rather prosaic title for very
business-like appearing craft. 1t is IS
feet long, II feet beam and draws feet.
Upon its forward deck is set up FORM
liable gun mount. Nine more are to be
cording to contract, the ships are to be
ready month apart. There are $50 of
this type of craft contracted for by the
government for the coast guard fleet Ten
are in the process of construction at
South Freeport. These two blocks Of
ten each are the only assignments TO
Maine builders.
The type is more like cruiser or
revenue cutter than a launch, although
in reality it is high speed launch Each
boat is equipped with two 200 horse
power engines and carries gasoline sup
ply of 1000 gallons. Its cruising radius
is within 1000 miles, depending upon the
rate of speed.
Better than 20 knots" is as much as
can be officially learned as to Its speed
although it has been reported that it will
do IS knots. Upon completion these rum
chasers will be assigned to bases of oper-
alton at various places upon the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts. 1t is believed that
the CG171, when turned over will be inn
mediately sent to base S, Boston, to oper-
ate in the New England Yates.
