TODAY'S SPORTORIAL
By Kirk Miller

About the first piece Of busi-
ness coming to hand In the In.
FAINT year is the stockholders
meeting Of the Washington
American League Baseball Club,
scheduled for next Tuesday at
the club offices.
And boy, this will be bust,
ness!
The team had a big season in
1880. That is to say, it played
to a lot of folks and thereby
compiled a big stack Of chips
for the stockholders.
While it will be possible to
declare the customary 6 per
cent dividend, it is by no means
a certainty that such a gesture
will be made.
For some time Owner Grit
fifth has had under advisement
a proposition to enlarge the
stands and it will not be sur
prising to see that step taken
soon. This will take money
which ordinarily is involved in
the annual whack-up with the
stockholder then some be-
sides.
The general idea is to stick
stands up off right field, but
property will have to be &C
quired and the taxpayers whose
real estate backs on the alley
in the rear Of those right field
signs are asking plenty for their
holdings.
