[from Joe Pritchard's column] Mr. August Beinke, the well-known architect, is now at work on plans for a new grand stand, new office building, club house and dressing rooms which will be erected next season at Sportsman's Park, at a cost of about $50,000. The grand stand will be one of the finest in the land, and it will be built of brick and iron principally. Instead of the wooden fences which now surround the park a high brick wall will be placed and the park from the outside will resemble a Chinese city of “ye olden tyme.” Mr. Von der Ahe's lease expires next October, but he now holds an option for a long lease and the improvements as mentioned are certain to be made.
