Reports appearing in the Boston newspapers on Saturday stating that the old baseball cage on Soldiers Field would be destroyed were definitely spiked yesterday by W. J. Bingham '16, Director of Athletics.
He stated that the construction of the new steel stands at the open end of the Stadium would probably necessitate the removal of the cage, but that it would under no circumstances be destroyed. He said that Harvard was in greater need of facilities for indoor sports than outdoor playing fields and that, because of this, the cage would be dismanteled and removed to another part of Soldiers Field. The cage was built in 1897 and is still in constant use in spite of the construction of the new Briggs cage.
