SPORTS. WILL INCREASE SEATING 'CAPACITY BY ONE-THIRD .Left-Fleld Pavilion to Be Double-Decked and Other Changes Made to Provide Accom= " modations for 20,000 Spectators. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. IG days” at American League Park next season will find the ‘Washington ball club better prepared to handle crowds that storm the portals of its inclosure at 7th and Florida avenue. Prompted by the necessity frequently arising during the last two cam- paigns for the announcement, “Standing Room Only,” before game time on opening day and other special occasions, President Griffith has awarded to the Fuller Construction Company a contract to increase the present seating capacity one- -third. Work already has been started and before the resumption of activities on the diamond next spring the im- ' provements made are expected to prove adequate for all except the choicest of attractions regularly scheduled, or for world séries games in case the capital ever is represented in thg annual fall classic. The principal change to be made involves the dauble-decking and c¢onversion into a grandstand of two- thirds of the present left fleld pavilion, and which will, of course, be con- ‘mected with the existing grandstand. The far end of the left field pavillon will remain unchanged, and the loss of pavilion seats on that side of the fleld will be offset by extending the right fleld pavilion to the wall, there- by increasing the size of this struc- ture some 1,000 seats. New Boxes Are Planned. Tn addition to these alterations the temporary fiedd boxes which wero pdded last season to supply the de- mand for ‘greater reserved accom- modations Wwill be removed and in their place regular concrete grand- stand boxes will be built. The levels of ‘these mew boxes will be lowered in such a manner that all occupants will have an unobstructed view of the fleld. lack of which made the temporary box seats unpopular. The concrete wall in front of the original boxes will be entirely done away with, and foining these with the new boxes will enable occupants of the grandstand to reach the field Jevel by direct routes, thereby great- 1y facilitating exit from the park. One of the principal objections to the generally admirable plant of Clark Grifith and Company has been the jamming of patrons on the run- ‘way in the rear of the stand. and relief from this condition will be greatly appreciated by the public. ‘When the remodeling to be dong this winter is completed seats will be available for approximately 20.000. This means that on days when Babe Ruth and other_stellar attractions are billed fans will not have to reach the park an hour in advance of game time in" order to be assured of hav- ing a place to view the proceedings in comfort. Other plans for increasing the at- tractiveness of the ball park from the standpoint of its patrons also are being considered. One of these in- volves the installation of scoreboard facilitles - which will make certain that prompt and accurate informa- tion is furnished. The present ap- paratus has proved so unsatisfactory that the local officials have deter- mined to discard it and provide a mew board of improved design, one of the features of which will be the listing of line-ups. Grift Will Go to Buffal Clark Griffith expects to be one of the busiest of the.mugnates who will assemble at Buffalo early next month for the meeting of the National As- sociation of Professional Base Ball Leagues. . Although this is the an- nual gathering of those who con- duct base ball in the circuits of lower classification, commonly re- ferred to as the sticks, the big league alubs are sure to be represented, all with the same purpose—the acquisi- tion of playing talent. Griff is mum to his plans for bolstering the Nationals with talent from the minors, but admits he has an eye on two or three good pros- pects and is hopeful of being able to do business with somebody. He will be prepared to talk turkey, at any rate, for there are several ath- letes now on the roster of the’Na- tionals whom he believes could be dispensed with to the profit of the elub, and Washington fans in general are inclined to agree with him most heartily.
