The Cleveland ball grounds...are so small that such a batter as Bennett can readily send the ball flying over the center field fence, and only two bases are allowed on such a hit. There is no place in the inclosure where a ball can be driven for more than two bases, and not even then unless it strikes the fence and bounds off at such an angle that the fielder has to run for it a second time.
