Bankers Rescue Dempsey-Gibbons Bout : Cardinals May Build Modern Stadium 'SAID TO PLAN NEW HOME ON OLD ST LOUIS GROUND Have Found That Their Mutual Occupancy of the Browns’ Somewhat Antiquidated Plant in the Mound City Has Its Disadvantages. BY JOHN EW YORK, B. June 15—There is growing beliei today that ti Louis National League club, not altogether satisfied with sharing the grounds and clubhouse of the Browns, may buy back the play FOSTER. ing field which it sold sometime ago and crect thereon a stadium of i own. It has been several years since the Cardinals gave up their old fie and gave the base ball pacifists their chance to sing hymns of peace b sharing the Browns' park. The two clubs, however, haven’t gotten alon so well together as folks thought they might. Louis Nationals might be given a chance to buy back th land they got rid of, the most natural sequence in the discussions of the that the St. So, matter was the subject of a real stadium. The ground in question is one of the best playing fields in the national circuit, in the matter of area at least It is far superfor in other ways Lo some of the filled-in pastures and wamps on which some of the big league parks have been bullt. It is ome distance from the center of the city, it is true, but at that it is only |a block or so from the other ground and won't suffer much through trans- portation facilities. The Cardinals have not found that | mutual occupation of playing grounds is particularly pleasant, especially since erection of the Yank stadium, which, incidentally, has changed all base ball policies and all base ball situations. The American League is nicely cognizant of its own strength and of its own importance in the world, and it is not so complaisant as when one of its members was a tenant of the National League club in New York city. St. Louis probably would respond to some extent to a fine new modern ball park. It is the only city in the Na- tional circuit without a ground of its own, and the only city that does not have a thoroughly modern steel and concrete structure, which is both fire- proof and comfortable.
