As the home-club has left on its first trip, Managers Barnie and Houck are increasing the seating capacity of Oriole Park by extending the grand-stand and making other additions. The accommodations have been found entirely inadequate to the great rush, and on several occasions the sale of admissions has had to be stopped. The crowds have averaged from five to seven thousand, and this if many more than was ever drawn to a ball ground in this place—even in the days of the Lord Baltimores.
