| Text | The diamond is now as level as a table. Superintendent Solari has the base lines in fine condition. They will be covered with tarpaulins in wet weather, as well also the batter and batters' squares. St. Louis Globe-Democrat March 30, 1884 The diamond and outfield at Sportsman’s park are in excellent condition, notwithstanding the heavy rains of last week. The tarpaulins in use, covering the bases, were of very effective service, while the material advantages of the park as a ball ground aid it very materially in drying up quickly after a rainstorm. Superintendent Solari has brought the diamond to a wonderful state of perfection. April 14, 1884 Notwithstanding the heavy rains of the previous days and nights it was almost as dry as a chip, and Superintendent Solari’s tarpaulins had kept the base lines as dry as dust. St. Louis Post-Dispatch April 22, 1884 The tarpaulin idea in operation at Sportsman’s Park is a great success; it keeps the points and base lines in splendid condition and affords their perfect protection from the rain.
