Text	[St. Louis vs. Brooklyn 6/2/1889] This great crowd was handled better than any crowd was ever handled at Ridgewood before, and not even ground rules were needed, as has been the custom heretofore. The six-foot barbed wire fence which has been constructed around the whole outfield since the breaking up of the Brooklyn-Athletic game was more effective than a solid like of policemen and but few attempts were made by the spectators to scale the wire fence. However, an improvement can be made to the fence; that is, it can be brought in some distance, so that more standing room can be had. During the game yesterday every foot of seating and standing room was occupied, as well as the tops of the high board fences that surround the grounds.
