| Text | The Athletic Club has made arrangements to display weather signals in the central portion of the city the coming season. It has not yet been definitely decided just where these signals will be displayed, but is more than likely that one will be stationed at Tenth and Chestnut streets and another at Eighth and Arch streets. The idea is to hoist flags at these various stations an hour or so before the commencement of the game on each day when the athletic Club is at home. If the weather is good and the grounds are in a fit condition to play, these flags will be displayed, and the people down town will know that a game will take place. Heretofore the patrons of the club had nothing to go by, and were frequently disappointed in going all the way to Twenty-sixth and Jefferson streets only to learn that no game would take place on account of the bad condition of the grounds, and others were frequently disappointed on other days when it rained in the morning, and they remained away because they thought the grounds would be too muddy. |
