ing to do with it,
face lifted in line with the new owners'
a complete new deal.
Of the $750,000 set aside for new players and an improved ball
park, close to $250,000 is being spent on Forbes Field. Improvements
include 1,300 new boxes, additional aisle space in front of the reserv
ed seats made by eliminating one row, new dugouts and clubhouses
for both the home and visiting teams, new press and radio boxes and
improved approaches to the apperstands plus plenty of paint.
In addition, the space between home plate and the backstop is
being reduced from 110 feet to 83 feet, six inches. Old timers say that
many a good catcher has been ruined chasing foul flies in that "vast'-space.
