Text | Of the component part [of the crowd] young America is in the majority. This genus ranges in age from ten to sixteen,a nd finds his way to the ground in many different ways, from being possessed of the requisite cash to an entrance on a return of a foul ball over the fence. There are several players who have gained the title of the “boys' friend,” by their repeated hitting of a ball over the fence, and the poor boys swear by them, and never forget to give them vigorous applause whenever they make a good play. The boy who gets in on a foul ball return is contended with any location in the field, generally preferring a seat on the grass in the outfield. |
