The Des Moine3 club of the Western league plans to inaugurate a "Kids' Day" with the opening of the season April 13. Children up to 12 years of age will be admitted free one day each week, according to present plans. It is believed here the innovation will prove as popular all around the circuit with both baseball men and fans as it is sure to be with the youthful enthusiasts.

One day a week the sand lots will be absolutely vacant while young America flocks to the stands to see its idols in action. Fans will be privileged to sit next to rosy cheeked Babe Ruths and presidents of the future and to hear them yell for the home team.
