BALL NOTES.
The Senators have played seven and won
two. There are due five more victories.
That was a terrific smuggling game in Cincin-

Foreman, the Orioles star pitcher.
ST. Louis is feeling that close quarters with
Brooklyn are not comfortable, and has pulled
away to a safer distance.
Todays games are as follows: Washington at
Indianapolis, New York at Cleveland. Boston at
Pittsburg, and Philadelphia at Chicago.
No decision has yet been reached as to the
location of the new base ball park for the season
OF 1890, except that the lexington and the
South Capitol and streets squares have been
eliminated from the list. Plans are being pre-
pared for the construction of grand stand for
the new grounds. 1t will be one-story high,
and will contain seats for about 5000 people,
with bleacheries on either side. The stand will
be nearly semi-circular, extending from a line
80 feet back from third base to a corresponding
position behind first. Underneath there will
be accommodations for players, including
dressing rooms, a gymnasium, and large room
for practice in bad weather. 1t will cost about
$4,000, and will be built by Mr.. Jas. NJ Dunn
