HE tumbledown shack that serves as a ball park in Milwaukee may be replaced by a structure seating be- - tween 25,000. and 30,000 spectators if President Henry Bendinger of the Brewers is successful in a building scheme which he has in mind. . . . He has suggested the erection of a memorial stadium by 1938 in the Wisconsin metropolis so arranged as to accommodate both baseball and football crowds. . . . The leader of the current American Association champions has promised the county supervisors that he will take a 10-year lease at either a flat annual rental or for a percentage of the gate receipts, if the stadium is built. It is proposed to get a WPA grant of 45 per cent of ihe cost and raise the remainder of the amount by the sale of bonds. . . . Two sites are under consideration. . . . The old Milwaukee ball park is a taped-up job and the home players train themselves to pull the ball down the foul lines to gain cheap home runs. ... A mere lob will clear the fences in certain spots, and like the park in Min-

neapolis, it’s far below Class AA standard.
