DOubledeck Stand For
Fenway Park Comes
Next Season

BOSTON, June eff the Red
Sox continue to maintain their
present winning ways, double
deck grandstand will be erected
at Fenway Park for the open
ing of the 1925 campaign, ac-
croding to President Quinn.
"That crowd turning out May
30 for the double bill with the
Washington Griffmen convinced
me that Fenway Park Park is
too small for a winning team"
says Quinn, a veteran in base
ball. "A second deck on the
stand will give US some 10000
more seats. That won't be
enough, either, if the Red Sox
should win the pennant."

ministratoin had been marked by I'M
usually large expenditures and there
was widespread complaint. In addl'
ton to offsetting that, the Repub-
Leans now have to offset the addi-
tiona1 fact that for the first time an
Indiana governor has been sent to
a cell as felon and that he is of
the party. The leaders frankly ad-
NIT the difficulties they confront, but
say they will be able to overcome
them. The Democrats are smiling
a little more broadly than they did.
Nevertheless, it is dangerous to
forecast. Both parties will mold state
primaries next Tuesday. There are
eight candidates for the Democratic
nomination for governor and six for
the Republican. Unless candidate
gets a majority, the choice is made
in a state delegate convention. The
chances are that is what will happen
on the Democratic side. The Ku

Indiana is inclined to go in ma

fairs. That helps to explain the
searching look from Washington in
the direction of the Hoosier com
