A new scheme of reproducing a ball game on a bulletin board, which is expected to revolutionize all previous methods, will shortly be foisted on the public. The latest device is worked by electricity. It consists of a board with a ball ground scene painted on it. The players are reproduced by numbers. It requires but one man to work it and by means of a keyboard he can produce any movement made during the game. A bell rings when a foul is struck and another bell announces a one, two or three base hit. Besides base ball, it will be sued to represents other amusements.
