BEGIN WORK ON BASEBALL CAGE ON SOLDIERS FIELD

Long deferred work on the new baseball cage which was given to the University last fall by an anonymous donor, got underway yesterday afternoon at Soldiers Field.

Architects and officials of the H. A. A. were present when stakes were driven in the old tennis courts nearest the Newhall Boathouse to mark out the limits of the new cage, which will be one of the largest in the country when completed. The building will be 150 feet square, large enough to contain a complete infield. To indicate the height of the glass roof of the projected building, an extension ladder was roped upright in the con-center of the area which was marked off yesterday, rising nearly 60 feet into the air.
