Tho plan seems to be a. feasible One and worthy of emnaid erati in, The suggestion has been 'Made through the instance of the league magnates. The now scheme is to inoroase the bases of the dia- mond from four to fie e, thereby nl.a.kin Niger field area -to -co -v -e tend changing the shape of the dia• mond to that of a pentagon or five- ' Bided ive•'bided figure, This would put first base ten feet further out than it is Crow, place second base to the right pf its present location, make third base about where the shortstop nen` filly plays and push the fourth base bout ten feet to the left of the resent third base. The promotere fthis scheme claim that it would crease the batting in that there old not be so many foal balls aid that 'the fielding would of cessity be much livelier. They „so claim that stealing bases wobld 4'e _ easier; and that also- the strain upon the catcher's throwing arm would not be so' great as it is under the present circumstances. The new field would not require any more players to cover it, the second baseman taking care of that base, the shortstop looking out for third and the present third baseman be- ing assigned to fourth base.

It was in favor of "Francis Thompsoei his heirs, assigns," etc., we are ink, fdrmed. Francis Thompson died a year or so after the Will was made end it has never been clang•' ed or a new one made.
