It is planned to spend practically all of the available surplus each year in reclaiming more of Soldiers Field, and in making other permanent improvements. Among those which it is desired to make are the building of movable steel stands, to be used at both football and baseball games, the building of a steel and concrete covered baseball stand (which would cost between $80,000 and $100,000) and the construction of a swimming-pool, of which there is sad need...

Within the last few years efforts to remedy this condition have met with ever-increasing success. Two main forces stand out as those which must be relied on chiefly to bring about the eventual solidification of the respective classes into cohesive units...
