Norton's field is not a pleasant place even for football; for baseball it is totally inadequate. Its condition this spring is worse than usual and should receive the attention of the 'varsity nine management. At present Norton's offers the only opportunity for regular practice for the class teams, and yet there is but one diamond which even borders on respectability. Even this needs rolling and levelling. To judge a grounder with the field in its present condition is merely a matter of chance and the risk of injury to the infielders is by on means a slight one. For the rest of this month and well on into May Nortons will be in constant use by the class nines In justice to them the 'varsity management should see that there are enough diamonds to meet the needs of the various teams, or at last that the few that are to be had are put into respectable condition. It is unreasonable to ask that any large sum of money should be sunk in improvement, when it is a question of a very short time before there will be ample accomodations for class and 'varsity teams on Soldiers Field. It is only fair, however, that, until then, the present grounds should be made ordinarily decent. The 'varsity owes much of its strength to the training of the class nines and for this reason its management should feel some responsibility in this matter.
