I. ever iast. Year.

Baseball games Of the Central Assoc
citation played in Marshalltown this
season will be staged on a sod dia-
.mond. Included in the improvements
to be made in the Ansons' park Is sod
diamond such as the diamonds in the
major league cities.
The work Of leveling the new playing
field was completed Thursday, when 1t
was decided that the diamond would
be covered with sod. and the work Of
transforming the dirt intield with good
heavy sod, easily obtainable at the fair
grounds, was begun this morning. Sod
cutting machines We're obtained late
Thursday and early today gangs OF
men, under direction of Charles H.
Hull, equipped with sod machines,
campers and rollers, started operations.
wit hthe plan Of completing the job by
night.
Fear EARLY Spring Rains.
Spring rains interfering with early
practice work, and possibly necessitat-
ing the loss of games, was one of the
main causes for the decision to sod the
field. With the team called to report
to hurry the work and have the field
in shape by Wednesday at the latest.
The overcast skies of Thursday night
caused some anxiety in baseball cir
cles, it being feared that a heavy rain
would delay the work for several days.
Ideal weather today. however, gave
promise of completed job by night.
An extra force of men was hurried to
the park to push the work to compile
ton while the conditions were favor
able.
Makes Faster Field.
The sodded diamond is faster than
dirt field and will be appreciated by
the spectator, as it eliminates the dust
storms which played havoc with white
frocks and straw hats several times
last year. The Cedar Rapids field was
sodded two years ago and is now con-
sidered one Of the finest minor league
fields in the country.
With the infield sodded and the out

to carry away the flood water. The
only difficulty to be surmounted now
is to provide for the drainage Of the
track which catches all the water
from the amphitheater and the small
park in front Of the stands, which has
heretofore drained onto the playing
field. Several plans to take care of the
water are under consideration and it
is believed one can be adopted which
will remove this serious drainage prob
lem and will make the field as nearly
proof against water and mud as pos
sible.
