Many a diamond has been laid out
on some river bed, or some neglected
party of city because the youngster
could find no other place to play, the
very city or town of his birth denying
him right TO keep out of mischief by
not giving him chance to vent his
spirits in the most sensible manner
that could be devised.
In some towns there is a commons
which makes a good ball field and
which has made one for long term
of years. For some reason or another
most of the players who begin their
base ball experience on village COM
mons get along finely. There seems to
be a something about the atmosphere
of that place which puts youngsters
on their mettle and on their good be-
havior.
The public Fairgrounds which are
being built now in some cities are
solving the ball ground question, and
such Fairgrounds are just about
super-fields to the youngsters who are
fortunate enough to be permitted to
use them. There are diamonds in some
Of the western cities which are nearly
ideal and which are open to the use
of small boys. Big league grounds
could be no better.
If the diamond has to be found by
the manager do not forget that it also
will be necessary to provide bases.
These are not hard to make and
any clever boy can put some together
by. obtaining two stout bags and cut
ting them in two. Stuff the halves of
the bags with sawdust and sew them
up with stout fish cord, or something
of that kind, and you will have first,
second and third bases and one over
for emergency Bases also can be
bought ready-made.
1t is possible nowadays to buy a
portable home plate that can be put
down anywhere and it is a good idea
to get one, because it will answer all
the purposes of home plate and be

the proper snaps. In addition to that.
it is made of material that will not
lnjure the young player who slides
into ii or falls over it.
If some big-hearted man is gener-
Gus enough TO loan a piece of ground
for a diamond and asks the boys to
take care of IL themselves, the man
ager should call a meeting" of the
team every week or so to level up
the holes and maybe to cut the grass
on the infield. Always remember that
A closely cut infield is better than one
in which the grass srowS to some
length and grass diamond or turf
IS it is called, is better than a scalped
infield. The ball never bounds the
Game on sand or clay as it does on
grass and the game never runs as
smoothly on a skinned" diamond as
il does on turf.
OF course. in some localities il is
difficult to get grass diamond This
is true where sthe heat burns the
grass and where il is not easy to
grow grass because of the nature of
the soil. When that is the case so
much greater the reason for the
youngsters smoothing and taking
care of their own field. Let the diff
ferent baSemen work on their part of
the diamond. If it makes their games
better they Will have their reward
quickly enough.

There has been a time, he con- :
tinued. when newspapers and no,
