A good deal has been said lately about the Brown University base-ball grounds. The grounds certainly deserve all the criticism which has been made on them, as any one who has ever played on them will testify. The fault with the out-field, however, does not seem to us to be that it is easy to make home runs; for since the erection of the high board fence, with its trellis-like attachment, it is almost impossible to make a home run on the hardest hit ball. It has been proposed that the wall of the church and the side of the fence be marked off into sections by a judicious use of whitewash, and that whenever the ball strikes on the fly in one section it be called a home run; in the next lower section, a three-base hit, etc. We respectfully commend this proposition to the serious consideration of the Brown B. B. Association.
