Text	[from F. W. Arnold's column] In view of the fine patronage accorded the local [Columbus] team this season in spite of the hard luck that has attended them thus far, it has been suggested that the directors erect immediately over the grand stand and behind the catcher's position a dozen private boxes that would hold parties of four. I have talked to several gentlemen who are daily patrons of the game, and they say they would gladly pay the extra price that might be charged for the use of the boxes. It is an experiment that couldn't cost much, and would bring back in revenue a sum satisfactory to the directors. Often parties of three and four arrive at the grounds to find all the available seats taken, and to see the game at all must sit in an undesirable place or must scatter. The scheme has been proven very successful in almost every other ball ground in the major league circuits, and would prove equally successful here.
