Text | The Providence Railroad Corporation, who own the [Boston] Union ball-ground, will, as soon as the frost is out of the ground, cut off some fifteen feet from the left field in order to lay down a third track. Philadelphia Sunday Mercury April 7, 1872 The scorer’s stand will be removed to the rear of the back-stop and elevated four or five feet, making it just ninety feet behind the home-plate, the required distance by the rules. A fence will be built in front of the seats on the southerly side, and a regulation will be enforced that no one but the players of the contesting club shall be allowed on the ball-field during the progress of a game, not even the directors of the visiting club or of the Boston Club. Evening City Item April 6, 1872 |
