Geography of the sporting grounds about this village are today threat- ened with .remarkable metamor- phosis. Changing conditions of sports, by statute and natural de- velopment are working a remarkable change in geography. Passage of the American League baseball park in the “highlands” is bringing fond recollections to fans. Instead of the cheers of fans over home run swats, the former Ameri- can League diamond may resound with cries of pain from a hospital which is projected there. A ‘deal has been closed for the sale of the baseball property, which was finally conceded to be poorly located for baseball purposes, to a church hospi- tal organization has been practically consumated. ‘‘Some day” the American Leaguers hope to have a baseball home on their home, with the new blood—and money—transfused into its veins by the recent change of ownership. Another famous sport field which is thrown into the discard by the decadence of horse racing is the old Sheepshead Bay race course. This is a case of the shelving of the horse in favor of the automobile, the race track having been bought by a syndi- cate of automobile race promoters, who plan to stage such contests as the Vanderbilt Cup and Grand Prix race. An eliptical 2-mile track of concrete is planned. By TIM SULLIVAN. (Written for the United Press) Northwest interest is keen today over the announcement that Mike Gibbons, phantom middleweight champion of the world, is to meet Packey McFarland under the gentle guidance of Frank Mulkern at Mil- waukee during May. The fans are guessing, however, on what class the two boxers could make. McFarland _—— Nervous Indigestion. Mrs. J. F. Baldwin, Sandy Creek, N. Y, suffered a great deal from pains in the stomach due to nervous indigestion. She writes, “Chamber- lain’s Tablets relieved me right away, and by taking three or four bottles of them I was cured of the trouble and have not felt any of the old symptoms since.” Obtainable every- where. is reported to have just left the lightweight class, yet it is unknown just what Gibbons will come to meet McFarland. It is believed that it will be about 145 pounds. Pearl Smith, boxing promoter, to- day announced that Billie Miskie, who recently treated Mike O’Dowd to a neat trimming at Hudson, has been matched to meet Greek Knock- out Brown, at Platteville, Wis,, wherever that is, on April 28. Smith says it’s merely another stepping stone to get Brown to meet Tommy Gibbons, the phantom’s chubby brother.

It looks just now like the Twin Cities will have lots of baéeball; Plans are being formulated for the establishment of a league between St. Paul, Minneapolis, Red Wing and Stillwater in Minnesota and Hudson, Eau Claire and New Richmond in Wisconsin. Such teams would plan to play either Minneapolis or St. Paul when the American association teams are not in the Twin Cities and play the other cities on other dates. A. L. Williams of Eau Claire, one of the boosters, says such a schedule can be arranged.
