Date	Saturday, April 16, 1870
Text	Yesterday some 1500 persons assembled to witness the opening game on the new grounds oft he Louisiana Base Ball Park Association, near Burtha Station. The accommodations were ample for those in attendance yesterday, and will be largely increased by next Sunday, when the great game for the championship of the South will be played between the Southerns and Lone Stars. We understand that the railroad company have generously offered to assist in filling up this park, and that it is intended to build a “Grand Duchess” for the ladies with the money thus contributed. It has been suggested that a turn table ought to be placed opposite the park, and additional cars run, as hundred walked down after the game on Sunday in preference to waiting for an opportunity to ride. The success of the park is now assured, and it will be to the interest of the railroad lines communicating with it to afford ample accommodations for the public.
