| Text | Several days ago the managers of the Baltimore club visited the officials of the York road line of cars and inquired whether any provision was to be made for the increase of travel over that road during the base ball season. One of the officials said it had not been determined yet what to do. Last year, he said, the horses were almost worked to death owing to the heavy travel, and if extra cars were put on more horses would have to be purchased. On last Saturday after the game of ball there was but one car to accommodate over four thousand people. Yesterday afternoon it was the same way. Several thousand persons walked in the York road, and complained bitterly of the poor railway accommodations. Baltimore American April 8, 1884 scorecard printed at the park An innovation in the score-sheet business has been introduced at Sportsman's Park. A printing press, especially procured for the purpose, will run the sheets off in an office fitted up for the occasion. The advantages of this plan is [sic] self-evident; the batting order will always be correct, the purchaser will be protected, the advertisements made all the more valuable, while the reliability of the sheet will of course increase the sale. It will also throttle the attempts to “ring in” unofficial schemes on the pubic by outsiders. Managers of visiting clubs, instead of being compelled to give their batting order to the score-sheet publisher by 10 A.M. Of the day of the game, a neglect to do which means a fine, will be accommodated here until 2 to 3 P.M Jack Drelling has charge of the score sheets at the Park. The Sporting Life April 9, 1884 |
