In just weeks the Y Twilight Base

league had such a chilly preseason.

the weather, but it is expected that
work will commence in earnest
now No work on the field has yet
been done owing to the weather. A

The grass seed planted late last
fall has sprouted. Just how much it
will add to the appearance of the field
is yet to be seen. However the indi-
cations are that the bald spots over
the field will have disappeared before
the middle Of the season.
New bases and a regulation home
plate as well as rubber pitchers

equipment should add to the field and
