Off season indications are that the records of lt'L'o will l.e siir passed lu-xt summer. This leads to the question: "Where will the club owners put the fans who desire to see the games if hi. -el. all continues to grow in popular tavor.'" There are some sjcnblc baseball parks in til,, country, the largest of which is Braves Field at I'.oston with a seating cnp.oitv of 47.SIHI.
