The old cage, built more than 30 years ago, had long outlived its usefulness, and the new cage will be 160 feet square, large enough for even modified outfield practice. Outside the structure will be of gray stucco, to match the Stadium...

The U. S. has, or is to have: the Golden Gate Park Aquarium (San Francisco), $200,000; the St. Louis Aquarium, $1,500,000; the New York Aquarium, antiquated but visited by millions annually (and now being re-stuccoed) after years of supremacy in the U.
