It wss too chilly for baseball and the dia mond was soft, tne major leaguers did their best to give the crowd a run for its money. In the early Inuings the pitchers were so wild thst the contest dragged and the home run twins were not given an opportunity to show their hitting sain.

Iowa needs a. new stadium and i it seems wise to plan accommoda-' Hons for from 60.000 to go, 000 fans. Newly paved roads brought many people to Iowa Cltv last Saturday who probably would have stayed at home had they been forced to drive on the old dirt roads. Additional patlng will be laid and will bring even more fans. These fana must be accommodated and the present dtands at Iowa field fall far short of the mark.

But, Iowa needs a modern press stsnd even more than it needs a new stadium. And the problem of putting a normal man In a space about eight inches wide and expecting him to work with a typewriter or a telegraph instrument must be solved. And the manner of getting tickets to the men who actually the games might be remedied. Then, It is lo be hoped that the scribes mav enter the new press stand without first qualifying as contortionists. Kan tn Box filh k.
