Preparations for the season at the Polo Ground have already been begun. In order to get the new diamond in perfect condition for the summer it is deemed advisable to open the season on the old diamond, which was laid out in 1880, when the first professional game of baseball was played in this city. The new diamond is to be sodded carefully with fine rich sward, and the path around the bases is to be carefully cut and kept in perfect order. Zinc lines will be sunk into the ground from first and third bases, respectively to the foul ball posts, forming the foul line in the outfield.
