The gift of a new baseball cage, similar to the one recently built at Andover, has been announced. It is an anonymous gift in honor of Dean Briggs, who has for many years been chairman of the Athletic Committee.
The building will be 150 feet square, faced with brick. The interior is to contain a regular sized diamond, lighted by a large sky light supported by steel roof trusses. At the center of the diamond the clear height to the trusses is to be 42 feet. Outside the playing field are to be two tracks, each 12 feet wide, and having 12 laps to the mile with banks at the turns. One will be placed at the same level as the playing field and have a cinder surface. The other track is to be directly above with a wood floor suspended from the roof trusses. This track may be used as a spectators' gallery. Provision will also be made for jumping, hurdling, and shot-putting lanes.
