It is gratifying to know that the baseball and track athletic games may continue to be held on Holmes Field if only for another year. A refusal of the petition to the Corporation to allow grand stands to be erected on Holmes Field would have been, as has been pointed out before, a severe blow to the nine and to the Mott Haven Team both to their finances and to the interest and support taken in them. Neither a diamond nor a running track could be built on Soldiers Field in time for use this season and certainly very few men could be induced to attend games on the old grounds if they would be obliged to stand.
