PROSPECTS GOOD
Slncfl the Chlrajro-Portland football
' frame hore Npw Year's day the ground
keeper at the baseball park has been
busllx.enRaffed In taking the sawdust
blanket off theTield. When this Is done
' And all of the splinters have been re
moved work will commence onthe field,
which will be built up for the games
. next year.
Every season a certain amount of
5 work is necessary on the field. The 1n
. field paths have to b leveled tip. the
pitcher's box raised and the depressions
In the outfield filled. The soccer and
. - ether football games raise havoc with
the Infield and It oftentimes requires
, weeks to work It Into shape for playing.
' Last year considerable aandy loam
. was spread Over the paths and as a ra
. suit 'they becace the fastest In the
' league. Thta . year more of the same
sort of earth will be applied. It nlso
has the effect of absorbing moisture,
leaving the surface In good playing
' condition after fairly heavy rains.
Flant Much Orui.
A number of holes were left in the
outfield and the groundkeeper will fill
.these ln'and level off .as much as pos
sible. ' One of the first things to do
1 will be to scatter about 100 pounds of
blue grass and clover seed over the In
field and the outfield.
While the present field will not be
Used .over the coming (season, after
Which the learns will be transferred to
the new grounds lh South Portland. It
Is thought necessary to put In a good
deal of work owing to the Continual use
of the pork by both leagues next sea-
ton. The grandstand will also be
.; strengthened up for the wear and tear
of next year, but It Is hardly likely that
any additions will be made to the
bleachers, the present accommodations
" being regarded as large enough for next
. season. Of course some of the crowds
w. have to go into the overflow space
on the field, bur-leaving these emerg
ency crowds out of consideration,, the
grandstand and bleachers will be ample.

Aero Enthusiasts Think That
Dead Aviator's Family Will
Win Prize. ,
New York, Jan. 11. The heirs of
John B. Moissant, the aviator who was
killed by a fall at New Orleans, will re
ceive the disputed $10,000 Statue of
Liberty prize, according to the belief of
aero enthusiasts here. The belief is
based on the fact that the British Aero
club, representing Claude Grahame
Whlte, has modified Its claim, now al
leging that Moissant did not fulfill the
conditions of the contest before start
ing. White's original protest alleged that
discrimination was shown against him
by officials of the Belmont Park meet
In not allowing him again to compete
for the prize after he had once failed.
The prize was offered by Thomas F.
Ryan for the fastest flight from Bel
mont Field to the statue and return, and
provided that contestants must have
been in the air an hour before starting.

claim assert that the rules were fully
complied with, the aviation commutes
Having granted Moissant permission to
start
The Aero club of America, it is said,
will announce its decision In the near
future. The case was sent back to the
American club from a committee of the

New York. Jan. 11. A knockout
punch that will keep him out for all
times unless he adheres 'to certain re
strictions, was handed to Battling Nel
son, former lightweight champion, by
the New York police department today.
The wallop was conveyed In an;offlclal
looking envelope presented to Nelson by
a blue coated individual, but it was
even more effectual than the one Owen
Moran handed hlra In person In San
Francisco two months ago.
Nelson Is appearing here in vaude
ville. His fines are to come or the
stage, do aS little monologue and then
advance to the footlights and challenge
all comers.
. The police heard, of it and sent an
Inspector to the show last night On
his report the letter !to Nelson was
based. It directed the battler to cut
out his challenge or go to Jail, as Its
Issuance was an Infringement on the
New York laws.
