could easily be remedied by pump ing more air into the higher alti- tude near the roof, so that it would assume its intended shape; for it would be permanently attached to the outer rim of the stadium, and could not break away, MT. Martin said.
 Ice-hockey could be played on the huge field at any time of the year, by flooding the surface with the use of an ice-making machine. In the spring, summer and fall of the year, baseball, football and track events could be held. Indirect lighting, the very best kind for sports, because it eliminates glare, and proper heat at any time would be available.
 The cost of the entire project flg- les about $50 per seat for 100000 ,eople or about $5,0O0,000.

 In conclusion. the famous Mary and pioneer in aviation, and a lorough-going sportsman in the est sense of the word, hoped that Baltimore, through the medium of ts municipal stadium, would be one ,f the first buildings of its kind to compare favorable with the great hings to come in the postwar world of tomorrow"

 Another thing motivating against the show is the fact that little is known of Moran in New York, where a boy first has to sell himself.
 Wilson says Moran can fight, and we'll take his word for 1t. Ol Gus has been around the thumpers since Bobby Dobbs picked him up as a locker in London gymnasium in 1904, and never gave a dishonest appraisal even when 1t concerned someone in whom he had consider ably more than a roofing interest.

.TRIBUNES WILL
 PLAY 2 GAMES
 THIS AFTERNOON
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Harrisburg, Sept. 7-Today is the make or break day for Waterbury's baseball champion Tribune A.C. as the schedule calls for double header between 2 and 6 p. m. Hav- ing won its first game and had the advantage of an extra day of rest Thursday due to a bye, the Tribes must meet Washington D. c. at p. m. and play again at 5 or SIS p. m., win or lose.
 Washington defeated Pennsyl- vania, To, Thursday night earning the right to meet the Tribunes from Waterbury. Martin BomberS of Middle River, Md, are paired at 2 D. m. Friday with Spring Grove, Md, or Harrisburg's Ensminger Studios. The latter pair of teams scheduled for 8 10 a. m. game Erie day because of @ 6-6 tie game called on account of darkness Thursday evening.
 A win for Waterbury over Wash- ington will automatically bring on a night, game with the winner of the Martin Bombers-Spring Grove Harrisburg game. A loss will call for a game with the loser of the same game. A double victory Fri day means Saturdays semi-finals, though win and loss will also give the TribuneS chance in Sat- urday's play as the Brass City champs are undefeated up to the Friday game. With Washington Q double loss Friday means elimina- ton.
 Joe Miller Savitt, Gems mound star from Thompsonville, figures to get the nod from Coach Melvin for the Washington game with tall able and hard-hitting Al Quintard ale most sure to get the Tribune pitch- ing call if the second game Friday is under lights as Quintard is an experienced after-dark performer with a very fast ball and a good pitching head.

 Active Man
 MT. Martin, head of the enormous plane construction enterprise which bears his name, and, in one plant, employed 35,000 people year ago, discussed his sports areaa construc- tion plan with reporter for The Democrat, while both were in at tendance at the second annual All- American Amateur Baseball Asso- citation tournament here at Harris burg. Because of his intensive in- terest in amateur baseball for the growing American boy, the inter nationally-known bomber-builder is also sponsor of the young but lively AAABA and chairman of its board of directors, with headquarters in Baltimore.
 According to plan, originally de- signed by a New York engineer, an aluminium roof, dome-Shaped, can be set atop the huge Baltimore sta- dium, the dome to be kept in- Hated by nothing more than air. pressure; some two and one-half ounces per square inch. Luxurious, comfortable seats. such as can be found in the best theaters, would be installed and with the completed project, all-year round sports could be held without regard to sun, wind or inclement weather.
 Hardly an idle dream at this time, the plan has already been ap- proved and found feasible by U. s. Army engineers as well as engineers from the Glenn L. Martin Company with nothing barring actual con- struction but the approval of the City of Baltimore and State of Maryland authorities. scheduled to be given or denied at meeting in Baltimore later this month. If ac. cepted, the city and state would di- vide. the cost equally.
 The Municipal Stadium at Balti- more was the site of many games in last seasons first All-America Amateur Baseball Association tour nament; and was also the locale of the Navy-Notre Dame College foot ball game last season; attended by some 100000 fans, many from Wa terbury.
 Aluminium Cover
 Aluminium, light, pliable metal, would provide the cover for the stadium, supported by air pressure, and permanently attached to the outer rim of the horseshoe shaped sports ampitheater, which, in its present condition, was built in 1928 at a cost of SIG. .OO0, ,OOO. A plan of reconditioning the entire stadium, particularly wooden seats, which have become weather beaten, has been discussed but rejected, as the cost would have approached $2,O00,- 900 and was not considered advis- able at this time.
 Possibility of collapse of an alum mum roof such as planned and de- signed. is eliminated. in the event that the air pressure became too low to support the domed roof, as all that would happen would be . ''fattening out" os tho roof, which um-
