Text | If we mistake not, this season will be one of the most noteworthy in the annals of base ball. In the first place there is but little doubt of the fly-game being fully established in popular estimation as the permanent rule of play. Even at thsi early period of the season it has gained ground in public favor, and, by the close of the season, it will so far be in advance of the old style of play as to elicit an almost unanimous vote in its favor next season. About a dozen matches have already been played, and the average time occupied in a game is far less than that of the last season, when some of the quickest bound games ever played took place. |
