 The Salisbury baseball diamond has been changed to good advantage and in such way as to obviate the difficulties which have been occassioned by the apple trees i'll left field. The position has been reversed so that the field faces toward the railroad. Only one apple tree had to be cut down in order to make the field entirely clear. At the same time the change was made the diamond was thoroughly scraped and the sod cut off for distance of 15 feet all around the diamond. John Ball and Charles Blakeslee did the work and Salisbury now has one of the finest diamonds in the league. To make the position of the diamond plain it may be added that the catcher and batter will now face west.
