| Text | President Soden of the Boston club had a conference with President Richards of the Metropolitan horse car company last Friday, and, as a result, the latter has agreed to make a greatly desired improvement in horse car facilities to and from the Boston base ball grounds this season, and one that will be appreciated by the patrons of the Boston club. A spur of track will be run from Tremont street through Walpole street to Berlin street, enabling the passengers to alight at the gate leading to the private property adjoining the grounds, and within a minute's walk of the entrance of the same. Cars will also be in readiness at this same p oint at the close of the games, thus avoiding the usual crowding of the main line so prevalent last season. President Richards has also consented to have tin flags displayed from sockets on the top of all cars running to the grounds. These flags will be pained white on both sides, with a red base ball in the centre. Over the ball will be the words “Base ball today,” and underneath will be the word “League” and the league team is to play, and “Reserves” when the reserves play. This will enable the patrons of the game to see at a glance not only on what day a contest is to take place and also what cars will convey them to the grounds. |
