The parade-ground at Albany, where all the ball-matches take place, though a field well adapted for the purpose in many respect, has so very rough a surface as greatly to interfere with the duties of the fielders, especially in attending to groundballs. No wonder they favor the flygame so much in Albany, it being almost impossible to play the muffin style on such a ground. Even the muffins play the flygame in Albany; the boys alone monopolizing the “regular” or bound game.
