Proposed Project.

Persons interested in the establish
for day and night baseball in FL
Centre met in the chamber of com.
mcrcr headquarters on Main street
last night rrrfecting plans for the
creation of such Il field. Glen Edgar,
vice-prrsidcnt of the Night Bas"
ball league, presided.
1t was decided that the logical
site for the proposed field should
be the northwest 10 acres of the 40.
acre plot belonging to the Eoyce-
Aten Post, American Legion and
located Just north of the railroad
tlacks and between Imperial and
18TH streets.
The plan, however, calls for the
development Of the remainder of
the tract by the Legion and other
organizations. 1t is planned for
baseball to build an enclosed park.
Money for the purpose is to be rails
ed by popular subscription, by the
sale Of season tickets for baseball
games and 10y advertising on the
fences \ grand stand to accommodate

pcctcd that it take about $4,000 to
finance the work.

tn" baseball park development Is
contingent on placing OF a swimming
pool, a convention hall, tennis courts,
Il barking space for 1000 cars and

was generally agreed that the ball
park alone would prove an unprofr-
table venture.
II is expected that the various

particular part of the development.
Some landScaping must be done and
it is hoped that meeting places fer
boy and girl scout organizations
will be built. The San Diego and
Arizona railroad is said to be viii
ing to have a crossing placed at the

Press Release

Continued from yesterdays AUj8.)
COMPLETING THE CIRCUIT OF THE
GLOBE.
The next voyage of DR.. Meinesz was
in 1926 when he Travelled on the a
Dutch submarine from Holland to Java
bv way of the Atlantic, the Panama
Canal and the Pacific Ocean.
In all. DR.. Meinsz has determined the
value of gravity at 200 places Or points
over the oceans and Mediterranean and
Red seas. AS a result of his work we
are now able to saw that iSOStasy as a
general principle exists for the crust Of
the earth under ocean areas to a de-
gree Of perfection comparable with that
under the continents. Or, at least, we
can say that this condition obtains for
the crust under those rOuteS that u" has
travelled. But the ocean waters cover
ABOUT 14O, 900, 900 square miles Of the
parth'S surface and, of course, MS tests
have covered only a very small part OF
this enormous area. Thousands CT gravl-
ty stations are needed to make certain
that we know the condition OF all OF the
crust under the seas
REASON FOR DETERMINING CRAWL
IY AT SEA.
The question is often asked what is
the scientific and practicable value of de-
tarmining gravity at sea. The answer is
that mankind Is never content 10 sit still
ia ignorance when by a little eXertion he
can find out ana" fact 0 frature. We can
call it the spirit Of research or merely
curiosity that .animates the scientific
worker and Nr. Mejnesz has this charac,
tpristic to an extraordinary degree. he
wants to know more about the earth's
crust nos only in a general way but in a
,detaiisl one. For Instance, what is the
