Text	The window of Jordan, Marsh & Co.’s establishment in Boston attracts hosts of spectators daily. A grassplot has been laid in the show-window, in which a miniature baseball field is marked out. The bases, base-lines and positions are accurately placed. The Bostons, represented by nine miniature puppets in full Boston uniform are in the field, while the Chicago White Stockings are at the bat. No detail of the game has been omitted. The pitcher is in the act of delivering the ball, and the catcher, with a genuine mask, stands ready to receive it. Behind the catcher is a diminutive umpires, clad in a natty blue-flannel suit, in an attitude of supreme intention [sic: perhaps “attention”?] The ninety-foot fence may also be seen, behind which is the grand-stand, filled with an interested crowd of spectators. The whole display is at once natural and artistic, and is a credit to the artist of the establishment.
