| Text | It is the purpose of the people who have leased the ground to build a model ball park. A large double-decked grand stand will be built facing the infield. It will easily accommodate 6000 people. The fields will be of turf and sod and will be a level as a billiard table. The ground is plenty large enough for all purposes and has been leased for two years with the privilege of renewal for five years. The price is $2000 a year. The accommodations for the patrons of the game will be of the best and there will be every facility to reach the ground. The Brooklyn road will run special electric trains to the park. These trains will take on their loads on Superior street, and as they will be specially for the use of the park's patrons will not stop for passengers after leaving the square. The time to the park will be seventeen minutes. Mr. Albert Johnson, who is interested in the new park, says that it is being built for the purpose of having games played in it next season. It depends upon which way matters go as to who will play in the park. The Brotherhood will meet in New York, Nov. 4, and then something definite will be known. |
