Text | The infield [in Syracuse] was very rough and the catcher’s position poor. We noticed that on all the three grounds at Syracuse, Niagara, and Buffalo, the level piece of laid-out ground which, on our ballfields extends from some fifty feet back of the home-base to ten feet beyond the pitcher’s position, and without which no ballfield is complete, was entirely wanting. Both at Syracuse and Buffalo, too, the legal home-base was wanting–the home-base being now required to cover a foot square of surface. |
