Permission has been granted the track management to make another set of jumping pits and run-ways on Soldiers Field. They will be placed inside the Stadium track at the opposite end of the oval from the old pits, and have already been started. They include pits and run-ways for the high-jump, broad-jump and pole-vault, and a circle for the shot-put.
The run-ways will be of grass with about ten feet of turf at the end to jump from, and will be bounded by broad white lines of lime. The object of a second set of pits is to save the others for competitions and meets, and to keep them in better condition. In case of a large number of entries in any competition both sets of pits may be used.
