promoters from tackling any ven- lures because of the fact that it is just as easy to stay outside the fence and watch the sport going on, as it Is to pay admission and sit on the bleachers.
 An ideal spot for an enclosed field Is the new East End baseball dia- mond. If the members of the park board could see their way to erect ing fence high enough to protect promoters of events at the field, there isn't any reason at all why. in the course of comparatively short time, the erection wouldn't be paid paid for from receipts at the park.
 That the field would be used for enough ventures when times are normal. goes without saying It is probable that the Industrial Base ball league would use it. Probably the City league would use it. It is a certainty that football promoters would use it and. during the sum- mer months, it is very probable that some ambitious sport promoter would stage amateur fights there. there.
 It would be an ideal spot to re- introduce track and field meets 10 this city which was one of the out standing track centers in the state not so many years ago and we figure that it would be a paying proposi- tion for all concerned.
 Another thing too that could be considered with regard to this park would be the installation of grass diamond. The city has all skinned diamonds at the present time. A welcome innovation would be the building of nice grass diamond at the East End, with the base paths skinned the same as they are in the league baseball parks. This would be the fastest and the best diamond in the city
 We don't doubt for a minute that If baseball games such as were play ed in both the Industrial and Sen for City leagues during the past summer were played in a park of this kind with a nominal sum charged for admission. the fans Of the city would support the projects.
 At the present time, with the sys- tenn Of collections used at Walnut ' Hill and Willow Brook parks. there is no adequate return for the money and effort expended to keep these projects going. The attraction in an enclosed field would be great enough to bring crowds nocking to the parks at all times.
 We believe these suggestions might well be considered by the park board.
 The Church street Collegians. an aggregation of baseball tossers would like to challenge the Paradise Park | baseball team, champion outfit of the Rotary Club Boys Baseball League, to a game to decide su- l premacy. Arrangements for the con- l test can be made by telephoning Joseph Tiadora. manager, at 3SS9. The Sokols have selected Mike Lynch as their choice for umpire in the coming series with the P. &. F. Corbin baseball team. This completes the details for the series. Ed Crowley has been selected as the Industrial League selection.
 A pcular situation exists with re- gard to the Holy Cross Sacred sHeart baseball game at Willow Brook park tomorrow afternoon. On the Sacred Heart roster are the names of six former Holy Cross stars. The Holy Cross team last year captured the honors of the city in semi-pro base ball
 Manager Val Gay. in discussing the choice of an umpire for the game tomorrc~ rendered Si Budnick a pretty compliment when he said, "I know that Si is a Holy Cross man but that won't make any difference in his umpiring. He is a square shooter and We don't expect any raw deals from him"
 The West Ends of the Senior City League will meet picked team ol All-Stars from the Junior City League this afternon a o'clock or Diamond No. l at Walnut Hill park This should resolve itself into an in teresting contest.
 Lefty" Folden will probably pitch Tor the West Ends with Sammy Cap. odice hurling them over for the All Stars Tommy Blanchette. regular noundsman of the West Ends has stated that he will not work in the game.

 ! luncheon in the Burritt hotel next Thursday noon. Tad Jones, noted
 oach, will address them and a. sur
 rise program will be furnished by
