The somewhat revolutionary proposal is to create, at the cost of 750,000 yen, the largest base ball park in Japan in the external garden of the famous Meiji Shrine. The promoters of the venture figure that the shrine gar- dens are ideal for a base ball park in that they are easily accessible to all of Tokio It is reported that the Association of the Meiji Shrine is interested in the plans and might be expected to contribute 400,000 ven ‘to the work. If the base ball park idea should prove successful, it is hoped that wrestling halls, tennis courts, swim- ming pools and other athletic courts {can be added so as to make the ex. plete national playground.

Whatever rancor may have been in evidence in the Southern Associa- tion over the charge of manipulating players have been dispelled by an investigation, which put the whole thing squarely on the shoulders of the Nashville manager who told re- porters to go ahead with a yarn. The Western League will not sur- render its claim to consideration for closenéss of pennant fights. There was only a hairs breadth between Des Moines and Denver at the week |end and it is anybody's flag. Des Moines appears a little more confi- dent, but an upsetting in one series might wreck their hopes.

It is by no means out of the woods. however, for Hart- ford and New Haven are sticking in the fight. Waterbury is being handled well and has a good chance to win out, but the winner is not likely to be decided until the last week of the race. The success of Louisville has com- pletely floored the American Associa tion, which did not expect such run- away. Joe McCarthy again has proved that he is one of the soundest of the minor league managers. The San Francisco club in the Coast League was the first this vear to pass the 100 victory mark, but it must not be forgotten that the circuits starts to play ball earlier than the other minors.
