Text | [from the Providence correspondent] Several improvements are to be made at the grounds before the season opens. Last year the boys played sad havoc with the fence, cutting holes with knives and hatchets through the boards, while on one side they complete undermined the fence, and not only boys, but pretty well developed young men, crawled into the enclosure and thus cheated the association out of the gate money. This year a second or inside fence is to be built. The out-field is to be more thoroughly leveled, the pigweed pulled up, and a fine sod will cover the entire field. Nothing will be done in the way of repairing the grand stand and adjoining buildings, except to put them in order where the storms of winter have caused things to be shaken. |
