TEAM NEXT wEEK-GENERAL NOTES.
New-York and Brooklyn are still without baseball
and will be until Decoration Day. The local inter
est in the travelling teams IS clearly manifested every
day. Large crowds surround the bulletin boards
where the result by innings IS posted The local
teams are doing fairly good work In the West as least
as we'll as could be expected considering the condi-
ton of the teams. The clubs all close together
in the championship race and weeks games could
almost put the last club first and put the leaders at
the bottom OF the list Both the Giants and Bride
grooms are good positions at present, and they
are no of when they finish their present tour
than they are at present their pennant chances
viii not be lessened. Great Improvements are being
made at the Polo Grounds and at Eastern Park and
both the spectators and players will be delighted when
the changes are seen when they visit the local grounds
on Decoration Day. That outed at the Polo Grounds
has been a positive nightmare to the felders. The
field is being levelled and the holes filed mp, and In
consequence the outfelders will have fewer errors
charged to their records. The entire field at Eastern
Park is to be remodelled. The change will add
certain oosiness the inclosure, which OF the
pleasant features Of Washington Park the old home OF
the BridegrOoms.
While the local ciubowners are trying to add OF
trctveness their grounds there is one feature which
if added would meet with general favor from the pub
lie. Let the local clubs have band OF music at the
grounds every Saturday, and make this feature for
the season. The outlay would not be great and the
innovation would more than pay for itself Spectators
at ball games are always enthusiastic. and good band
Of music to give a concert before the game and to
play catchy airs between the innings would be pay
ing venture well pleasant surprise VINO
ever OF the local clubs adopts this suggestion VIII not
regret It, The music would be especially attractive 70
women and it is the effort of club to attract all

find it $3.50 we'll spent. Come, Messrs Day, spadlng
and Talcott, what do you propose to DO about III
Tho managers of baseball teams are generally credited
with being pretty clever and In most cases ther
records are well deserved still the blind goddess Is
their best friend Some managers have become iahous
for developing great players out OF the sreeheS' Va
