Japan May Build Baseball
Park in Garden of Shrine
TOKYO, August 21. (fP)—The spir
its of the ancient lords of Japan may
be expected to hold an indignation
meeting if plans promulgated by lead
ing Japanese are carried out. The
somewhat revolutionary proposal is
to create, at the cost of 750,000 yen,
the largest baseball park in Japan
in the external garden of the famous
Meiji Shrine. The promoters of the
venture figure that the shrine gar
dens are ideal for a baseball park
in that they are easily accessible to
all of Tokyo.
It is reported that the Association
of the Meiji Shrine is interested in
the plans and might be expected to
contribute 400,000 yen to the work.
If the baseball park idea should prove
successful, it is hoped that wrestling
halls, tennis courts, swimming pools
and other athletic court can be added
so as to make the external grounds of
the shrine one complete national play
ground.
Mrs. Sam McNiece and daughter,
May, who have been spending a few
days in town, returned to Morraine
on this morning’s train.
