| Text | [from Caylor's column] [The New Polo Grounds] has a number of advantages over the old Polo Grounds. One, and the most striking, is the fact that the elevated railroad lands visitors right across the street from the entrance gates, and in going home after a game is concluded you have to make but two steps to pass from the exit gate to the foot of the elevated railroad stairs. It requires no more time to go from the One Hundred and Sixteenth Street Station (the old station at the Polo Grounds) to One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street, the new landing place, four stations beyond, than it formerly required to take the visitors from the One Hundred and Sixteenth Street Station to the Polo Grounds. Moreover, you do not have to spend that time walking across from the railroad to the grounds, or pay a hackman fifteen cents extra for a carriage ride between points; nor do you have to descend or ascend half so many steps getting to a from the trains—the elevation at One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street being only one-thi5rd what it is at One Hundred and Sixteenth street. |
