Harry Wright day games netted about S., 500.
and the public is being censured for failing
to respond more literally, says the Washing
ton Post. But base ball magnates must re-

the catcher's territory is fashioned after the
ace of spades Thus, holding four aces on
their own grounds the Louisville PLAYERS
ought to be almost invincible at home This
arrangement of the field produces a striking
effect to which those who daily with the
pasteboards' in that other great national
game are particularly susceptible-New
