Text | In Brooklyn it appeared that but one conference had been held at which irreconcilable differences over the ground question developed themselves. … The principal trouble...was owing to the refusal of each party to play on the other's grounds. The capitalists of the Players' League Club are heavily interested in real estate near Eastern Park. As far as the team was concerned they cared nothing. They desired to build up the property in that vicinity, and thought that by playing at Eastern Park it can be done. The Brooklyn National League men said that Washington Park is a trade mark, and that it is by far the best ground, inasmuch as it is so easy of access from all parts of Brooklyn. They objected to going to Eastern Park because of the cool, stiff breeze that comes from the bay in the spring and fall. |
