1t is practically decided that the
once abandoned baseball field at Riv-
erside park Is to be utilized for the
national game. The passage of the
Oak street grounds for baseball pur-
poses by the erection of a shed for
granite work, the probable utilization
of the Beach street grounds for indus
trial purposes, and the long distance
OF the Moss street grounds from the
business center, have resulted in the
selection Of old Riverside park, now
principally owned by Italian residents.
The location is almost as convenient
as the Oak street field, and already the
work of putting the grounds in shape
for the baseball season has commence
ed. The Canal street side Of the lot
is being fenced ia so as to make a
main entrance on that street, and a
suitable skin diamond IS being Etd
out The old diamond has been plough
ed and is to be rolled down hard and
made as even as possible. 1t is ex-
pected that all home games Of the
Connecticut- Rhode Island and Inter
scholastic leagues viii be played on the
Riverside grounds.
There are no trolley facilities to the
field, but the distance is not so long
as 10 make the walk tiresome, as the
distance from the business center can
be covered easily in less than ten min
utes. The grounds will be in good
condition for practice games by the
end OF the week.
IT IS understood that the grounds
have been leased by the Westerly
High school Athletic association. The
High school boys have been practicing
on taese grounds Of late, but while the
field and diamond is being put in con-
ditioD practice IS being held in the
contracted Oak street grounds. Mike,
