Especially since the more recent additions there has been the dan- ser of running down from the seat sec. ens only to be caught in the fel, surrounded by blazing etands on all sidee, without @ posstble avenue of es cape. Of course, the management did whatever it could to make the wooden structure fireproof. Sheets of . corru- kated tron were fastened along the un- fer aide of the seats, and there were chemical and water throwing fire ex- tinguishers everywhere. What good thie ‘id was shown by the rapidity with which the stands burned tn epite of all that the watchmen and the fire depart- ment could do.

The youngsters of the Glanw and the Highlanders were training to- ether.

Every One Helped the Gi Ve When the Giante began their Against Brooklyn on the Hilltop asiure day the whole baseball atmosphere was twisted into new shape. Fane who were never in the Polo Grounds in their | livea came out to see the game on the/ Hilltop. Alongside them were fans; who never had eeen the American League Park before. The secretary of the American League Club was work- ing hand in hand with the secretary of the Giants, and there was @ general Dull to help the Giams out of their dilemma. On account of the temporary real- dence of the Giants at the Hilltop. the wonderful showing made by the High- landers so far against the Champion Athletics, and the prospect of ole crowds, a contract has been let for the Nerection of an additional stretch of Dleacher seats in centre field. Mr. Far- rell and his associate planned theae bleachers to seat 6,000 peuple and, notwithsianding the fact that the High- landers are to. leave their present krounds at the end of the season, it 1s fixured that this extra stand will pay for Aiself in the extra accommodation furnished the fans.
