 Passed by Electric Field yAster-
 day and those who don't remember
 the gala baseball days at that once
 famous park, wouldn't know that there ever was q baseball diamond there The fence is almost entirely down and the infed and outfeld Is all plowed up by ambitious neigh bors who are looking for summer garden returns,
 Standing by where home plate used to he, the thought came hack to the days when the Cubans. Mar sans, Almeida Cabrera and the , mighty Louis Padron cavorted out ] on the lot for New Britain. Then a vision of the day when Padron, always a sort of freak. gripped his bat with one hand and socked a | home run drive over the center field fence, Fans attending the game U that day will always remember this y feat,

Then re- r member the trips home when the ,, slim lads. now grown 10 manhood. used to crawl under the long seats ., on the open trolleys and hidden by 4-o SFii lS LII tiiC NCiltEu passengers 10 and the stock legs of the men. would ; beat out the conductor for a free ride home. Them were the happy days,

Ii simply the Docs love of the game
