Text	[Neptune of Easton vs. Expert of Philadelphia 8/17/1871] Titus [of the Neptune] then took pitcher’s position... This [illegible] young pitcher will undoubtedly make his mark in time, his style of delivery resembling that of Cummings of the Stars, the ball making an obvious curve during its passage, and carrying an ugly twist. Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch August 20, 1871 the new Baltimore grounds Mr. A. T. Houck is reported to have leased a fine lot of ground on Pennsylvania avenue near Chappell streets, Baltimore, which is being laid out as a base ball park. It has a frontage of 400 feet on the avenue and a depth of 600 feet, making a ball ground as large as any in the country. It will be inclosed by a high fence, and it is the intention of Mr. Houck to have erected not only a large but a beautifully designed grand stand, for the especial accommodation of ladies; and this stand, with other amphitheatrical seats, when completed, will afford sitting accommodations for fully 6,000 persons.
