EARLY PLAYING IN THE sEAsoN-THE REGULAR
CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES COMING
The regular championship season at the Polo
Grounds will begin on Wednesday, and the fol-
lowers Of the game in this neighborhood are look
ing anxiously forward to the day. The opening
game In the League championship struggle is always
one Of the features of the season, and it ves with
Decoration Day in point of attendance. Last season
the opening games Of the rival local clubs amounted
to little. but the occasion this year promises to be one
in which all the oldtime fury and enthusiasm will
break out The opening game will be between the old
time rivals, the New-York and Boston teams, and IL
the weather is fine the Polo Grounds, as spacious as
they are, will be taxed to their utmost capacity to
accommodate the crowd. The management believe
that 10000 people can witness the game at these
grounds. The demand for reserved seats has been
at least doubly as large las in any past season
Manager Mutre Is little fond Of redfre advertising
probably little too fond. He proposed to make the
opening game rousing one In every way. The usual
bunting and music will be there and Mutrie also pro
poses 10 set off day fireworks well, and have the
heavens full of quaint designs and floating animals
II Mure wants help in assisting him to get rid Of his
pentup enthusiasm probably nobody will object.
These sdeshow arrangements, however, should not
be used 70 advertise the opening Of the season. The
Interest in baseball has revived, and the late unpeas
sntness is about forgotten. Baseball needs no outside
attractions to attract crowds. The games hould take
of itself The fact that Thomas's orchestra would
play before the game and that Barnums trick elephant
would give exhibition in the pitchers box, would
not increase the attendance per cent.
The League championship season for 1891 Will begin
