By T. H. MMINANE. The new ball park for the Boston Braves will be-situated on a part of the grounds once used as the Allston Golf Club course, facing Commonwealth av, and bounded by the Boston Albany Railroad In the rear and by Babcock and Pleasant eta on the sides. This information was given out at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Boston clubs office in the Paddock Building, with Sec Nickerson on the receiving end of the long-distance telephone.

The deal was made through W. 3 Mc" ald. Pres Gaffney, In New York, 'said over the telephone that the deal had been closed, and that Mr McDonald would confirm the news upon reaching Boston. Mr McDonald arrived home at 6 o'clock, having left New York on the 1 o'clock train, and said that he would draw up the final papers-at once. He also wanted to compliment the cluh for plating out a fine site or its new home.

Noinron Much Work to Done. The land was owned by V. Stanley Tripp. On the East side of the proposed new park is being erected a State armory. which will be finished in the early Spring.

The old Allston Golf Club house is on a part of-the land to be used as a ball park. Extending from the middle of the tract back to the railroad is a steep bill, with quite a swamp to fill in, Babcock and Pleasant etc at present run only as faro as Commonwealth av, Brookline. By crossing the avenue, one is in Boston, and these streets will soon be extended to the railroad. Pres Gaffney said that he intended to ask the 13, A. RR.

to build a station at the rear of the grounds. He also means to ask that the Boston Elevated run a spur track down Pleasant St with a lower grade entrance to the Park.

But Nationals Have Him Tied Up Tight It Is SAL Independents Wi 11 Never Get Him, Says Fosters NEW TORIC, Dec 4 "Rube" Mar-ward, one of the New League club's trio of leading pitchers, signed a contract today to pitch for the Brooklyn Federal League baseball club, according to an announcement made by Pres Robert' B. W'ard of the club this afternoon. Cr Ward stated that Marquard had slimed the Brooklyn Federal League contract in triplicate, in addition to making an affidavit that he wan a free agent in a baseball sense, and had received and receipted for an advance PaYment Under his Federal League contract. See John B.

Foster of the New York National League club, when questioned regarding Marquard's status as a free agent, Wald that the pitcher was under contract to the New York Giants In a series of three interlocking contracts which covered his playing services for 1915 and 1.916 gave the New- York club an option on his services in 1917. Still another contract gave the New York club special rights in regard to Marquard's playing services, andl-tvIlg drawn with the idea of covering any loopholes which might 'exist in the other contract Mr Foster scouted the idea that Mar. guard could play for any other team than the New York Giants for the next two seasons, and intimated that the case would be taken to court if Mar-guard endeavored to Jump to the independent league. When informed that the New York Club management asserted that Mar-guard was signed to a bindinr contract to the New York Nationals for 1915 and 1916, a contract with the 10- day clause eliminated, Pres Ward of the Brooklyn Federals said he could not tell whether he would be prepared to fight for Marquard's services. "1 must see the contract first," said Ward.

"I am convinced that Marquard dealt with me in good faith. In fact, ealritot conceive of any one making an aflidlivit, as Marquard did, unless he was convinced that he was in the right. He said that after a careful reading of his contract he felt sure that the only thing which bound him to the New York club was the reserve clause."

British to Quench Anti-German LONDON, Dec 4 There is sill' lacking reliable news of the progress or the battle in Poland, which continues to monopolize interest. An unofficial dispatch from Petrograd says 'the battle' of Lodz has ended in sticeess for the Russians, but this statement is opposed to that of the Derlin official report, which says the German offensive in Poland Is taking its normal course. The fact is that the lighting in this region has developed into such a Jumble that it Is almost Impossible to follow it. The most important factor, from the Allies' view, Is that the German advance on Warsaw seemingly has not succeeded in its object, nor has it had the effect of diverting the itussians from their forward movement through the Carpathians and on' to the plains. of Hungary or Advertisers, To Get Your Share 'Of the Holiday Trade of the best 'clientele in New England, advertise in tomorrow's and the Day Globe next week.
