The base ball craze has reached its highest point of development in the South. When the Atlanta Club is playing in other cities the Atlanta people, men and women, rush to the Opera House at the hour set for the game, where there is an actual diamond on the stage, around which are stationed boys in uniform, to represent the actual players. They run the bases by telegraph, as it is being done in the game at the other end of the wire.
