Tho Now Yorks spent yesterday afternoon
practising on tho Polo grounds. The weather
was Just right for ball playing, and IL seemed a
pity that game could not have been arranged.
Manager Davis sent his men to the plate to bat
| left-hsnded Knauss, and the latter showed
quite bit of speed. Two young players, Kelley
from Albany and yought from Paterson, were
on the field. Kelley is catcher of some promise
and yought an infielder. but there Is no chance
for them on the New York team.
Billy Schriver, the new catcher, signed his
contract and began hard training in the
morning.
President Freedman paid visit to the Polo
grounds, and was busy for several hours in
specting things and instructing Superintendent
Bell on certain points. Tho painters were busy
the two club houses and carpenters were
fixing up the bleaching boards. The deadhcads
will bs put 10 a still further inconvenience.
especially those who have been in the habit Of
watching the games from the viaduct and tho
bluff, for lofty poles have been erected along the
right-feld fence and canvas banners will be
stretched across, completely shutting out the
view.
Mr.. Freedman also went over to Manhattan
Field where tho track is nearly ready for ath-
letic games. A new baseball diamond has been
laid out, and q back stop will be built In few
days. Mr.. Freedman says that tho New Yorks,
whenever tho Polo grounds arc not in shape
will play their games on the Field, as the sys-
TEN of drain pipes is better than on tho bigger
arena.

collcgans have not played tho local Leaguers
since 1893, when they were shut out Last year
they not only won the college championship.
but they also defeated the Boston and Brooklyn
League teams. The latter feat was principally
due TO the phenomenal pitching Of Carter who
will faco tho New Yorks to-day. 1t will be the
