Text | The Secretary of the Providence Club, in writing from New York, says: “The Metropolitan grounds are in poor condition for ball playing, as this morning the polo people were at work spreading stable manure all over the out-field, so that it made hard work to run for a ball, and if it was a ground hit it struck an obstacle and bounded off to one side. The game was stopped at one time to allow a load to be dumped back of the first base, and Joe Start was afraid of slipping down every minute. The ball people say that the polo folks do as they please about the grounds: that they dare not find much fault for fear of being ordered off entirely. |
