| Text | [from the field rules of the Chicago Club] Upon the first sounding of the gong the gates will be opened for the audience, and players will cease to practice and repair to the club-house. Upon the second sounding of the gong, twenty-five minutes before the commencement of the game, the visiting nines will enter the grounds in a body and take full possession of the field for their preliminary practice. Upon the third sounding of the gong, ten minutes before the commencement of the game, the Chicago nine will come upon the field, and the visiting nine will immediately give up the field to the home nine and discontinue their practice. Upon the fourth sounding of the gong, two minutes before the commencement of the game, all preliminary practice shall cease. The captains shall toss for innings and arrange any special ground rules that may be required. Upon the fifth sounding of the gong the fielding nine, the batter and the umpire will immediately take their positions and commence the game. Cincinnati Enquirer April 11, 1883, quoting American Sports The St. Louis Club patronizes the Chicago's plan of having every thing done at the tap of the bell. Cincinnati Enquirer April 19, 1883 |
