The suggestion which was made yesterday morning in regard to having backs put on some of the seats on Holmes Field, is one which the base ball management should surely adopt. To ask ladies to sit through a ball game on bleachers without any backs to them is little short of barbarous, especially when it is perfectly possible and perfectly simple to have backs put on the seats. It may be a little trouble, and it will cost a little something, but these minor considerations ought not to stand in the way of the comfort of those who pay their money to see the game. And then it must be remembered that people are paying very much more this year than usual for their reserved seats. The management has taken advantage of the great demand for tickets and has put up the price of reserved seats alone to one dollar. Under such circumstances the excuse that the alterations would entail too great an expense finds little ground to stand on. It all comes down practically to this; people pay a high price for their seats, and when they get to them they find them unfit for a lady to sit on, while they see other people who have paid no more, sitting on seats that are much more respectable. The base ball management certainly is rich enough to make these alterations and we trust that work on the seats will be begun in plenty of time for the Yale game.
