BEAUTY OF FORBES FIELD

Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh baseball club, values the beauty of Forbes field at more than SIO,OOO. He has refused that amount for permission to place advertising signs In the field, and even turned down an offer to put a huge clock, with an advertisement on it, above the score board. Dreyfuss has the pleasure, each spring, of turning down similar offers, but this year the amounts offered were higher than ever before. Forbes field is the only National league park lacking these unbeautiful advertising devices.
