It makes a lot OF difference 81 the

A good thing is 20 protect spec

eyes. For that reason build the dia-
mond, IL possible, so a line from the
home plate 10 second base is south by
southeast. This protects both players
and spectators.
II this is not possible, lay out the
diamond so the setting sun will shine
either into right or left field.
Level ground should be selected so
there will be no expense for grading
or filling. Clay and sand should be
used to tone up the ground sand
where IL is too wet and clay where Il
Is too dry.
II possible the diamond should be
thoroughly moistened before a game
If the weather has been dry
In starting 10 lay out a diamond

At this point draw line at right
angles 6S feet Z 1i-16ths inches each

This will give perfect square with
the bases 90 feet apart.
A diamond for amateur teams does
not need to be elaborate, but the bat
