LADIES, DAY.

Arrangements to be Made Whereby
 she Ladies Can Have . Special Day

 Co be Given to she Player Making
 the Largest Number of Sacrifice
 Hits-Season T1ckets-AbOut DeWitt
 Street.
 The New Haven Amusement association intends to make wide departure from any, thing that has ever been attempted before in base ball in this city. It is realized that the ladies would form an important factor in at tending the games if the accommodations were such that they could feel that they were being properly cared for when they once get on the grounds.
 It is proposed to have what is called ladies'
 day once week when the team is at home,
 admitting them to the ground free of charge.
 Things will be so arranged that the best class
 of people can go and see a clean game of ball
 with the same sense of freedom that prevails
 among the ladies in national league cities.
 They will have seats in the grand stand, and
 special force of police will be present to
 keep perfect order. Ladies will of course be
 admitted at all games, but only on ladies'
 day free of charge. It has not yet been de-
 cided what day will be designated.
 
 move. Silverthau, the jeweler, will present silver badge to the player who makes the most number of sacrifice hits during the sea-
 son. As is generally the case, trophies are
 presented to those making either the best
 batting or fielding average. To present it to
 the player making the best fielding average is manifestly an injustice to all the players, as the first baseman would in all probability get it. Then to present it to the one making the most number of base hits encourages player to hit the ball hard for an individual record instead of trying to sacrifice himself. Sacri- fee hits are every time conducive of team work, helping to advance player already on a base. This year these hits will be scored. The season tickets are selling quite rapidly. As has been stated, the number is limited. Everyone buying one is entitled to a reserved seat in the grand stand during the champion ship season, but not at exhibition games. A plan of the center section of the stand, will be left at place in the center part of the city and reserved seats sold up to within a short time of the game. Those who buy season tickets save $8 and also the trouble of picking reserved seat at the games they attend.
