Text | We witnessed the game, but the intrusion of the crowd around the scorer’s desk, and the impossibility of obtaining a good view of the game on the occasion of a match on the Carroll park grounds, prevented us from taking notes... We do not see why the South Brooklyn clubs do not avail themselves of the use of the Capitoline Grounds for match games, as the Hoboken clubs do the union Grounds, for having a fair field at South Brooklyn is out of the question, the limited extent of the grounds allowing balls to go to the streets; and when a lively ball gets on the cobble stones a home run is inevitable. |
