| Text | An Eastern enthusiast has discovered a plan which, if practical, will knock the score-card privileges of the different parks higher than Gilroy's kite. It is described as follows: On the fence opposite the grand stand are to be painted two large squares resembling in every respect the base-ball score we see in the daily papers, but on a score large enough to be easily read by the denizens of the stand. These scores are worked by electricity by the official scorer in the reporters' stand, and each run, base hit and error is down in black and white before the ball is back in the pitcher's hands. Thus the people have the summary of the game, so far as played, constantly before their eyes, and to any one who has noticed the avidity with which a base-ball enthusiast devours the score of the game he saw played the day before this will appear no small achievement. |
