' The laying of the cornerstone of Bbbets Field, which takes place at 10.80 A. M„ on July 8, at Brooklyn. N. Y., will be a mem- orable event In the history of baseball la the City of Churches. Not that an enclosed ball field Is a novelty in Brooklyn, but the fact of the stupendousness of the undertaking, far outstripping anything in the way of a ball park that was ever dreamed of by tbe people of that city who helped to bring our grand game into existence. Fifty years ago, or to be more exact, on May 15, 1862, tfhe old Union Grounds, lo- cated at Marcy Avenue and Rutledge Street, in the Eastern District of Brooklyn, was opened to the public with a gome by nines selected from the Eckford. Putnam and Con- stellation clubs, which clubs were the regular occupants of those grounds for several years thereafter. Of the game Thb N. Y. Clippbb •ays in part: "We intended referring to tho play shown on this occasion, but os the per- formances of a first matcb, particularly wlien neither club has bnd any practice, arc not fair subjects for criticism, we prefer letting the score alone tell the story. Suffice It to say that It was a well contested game after the first two or three innings. Mr. Cam- meycr had put up a handsome bat and boll as prises for tbe players who made the most runs on each side, and these were both won by members of the Putnam Club, Messrs. Mc- Klnstry and Spencer being the lucky win- ners." The score Is as follows: Mxnoi.t'b Hinn. HI,. Buns.

Two years later the old Capltollne Grounds. ther. located between Xostrand, Putnam and Marcy avenues and Hnlsey Street, now the centre of tbe aristocratic Bedford section of Brooklyn, mode famous by the renowned At- lantic Club, were opened to the public. Thi Clipper says: "Brooklyn was alive with base- ball the first week of May. Thursday, Bth Inst,, was the occasion of the opening of the now Capltollne Grounds at Bedford. Tbe weather on Thursday, Friday and Saturday was all that could have been desired by the most fastidious ball player, those days being tho most genial and Spring-like we have yet had. In consequence there was a numerous attendance on the hall grounds on all three days, especially on those on which tbe At- lantic and Enterprise dubs opened play for the season. "On Thursday, May S, the Atlantlcs opened play for the season, and it was decidedly tho most successful commencement of a season they have bnd for years past. Several hun- dred spectators were on the ground, and a very lively game was played, there being no less than sixteen players on a side, Including Fearce, Smith, Chapman, Start, Pratt—who belongs to tbc Atlantlcs, and that club only— Sprngue^—ditto—Pond, M. O'Brien, Gufvln end Joe Oliver. Crnne and John Oliver were cot on the ground in time to play." Washington Pabk. The first ball grounds of tbc Brooklyn Club were laid out on a piece of property between Fifth and Fourth avenues, Third and Fifth streets, In Brooklyn. The site had been UBed at an earlier day for ball playing purposes by tho old Excelsior Club. It was selected as the club's grounds in 1850, and was used occasionally until the Summer of 1857, when new grounds were laid out at Court and Degraw streets, near Carroll Park, South Brooklyn, because the grounds they had first selected were so far out of the way and It took too long to reach them to be convenient. A. B. "June" Rankin was practically re- sponsible for the organization of the Brook- lyn ball club. After the writer had located the grounds for him he saw George J. Tay- lor and Interested him In the project. Then Taylor Interested a friend In Wall Street who put up fQ.OOO for the lease of the grounds, but when he learned that at least $2R,O0O more were necessary he developed a bad case of "cold feet." About this time Mr. Taylor was Introduced by Lawyer John Brlce to Messrs. Chas. H. Byrne and Joseph J. Doyle, who at once became interested In the scheme. But when Mr. Doyle had sunk $U',000 In the property and there were no players, stands or even fences to show for the money he expended, he went after F. A, Abell and Induced him to come Into the club to "save his $12,000." as he pat It The old Brooklyn Club, of tbe American Asoctation, Under the leadership of President Byrne, took a prominent part In bastball'a history front Its inception. Mr. Byrne was one of tbe most remarkable characters ever connected with the legislative end of tbe game. Hla remarkable wisdom, rare ability, hard and tireless work placed him In the front rank of the game's greatest legislative leaders. In 1880 the Brooklyn Club, of the Players' League, was organised and located on a piece of property in the East New York section of Brooklyn, railed Eastern Park. The other Brooklyn club. In the mean time, bad with- drawn from the American Association and joined the National League, and that year won the pennant of Its organisation. There were many stirring scenes during that now memorable campaign of 1800, but war times in baseball never prosper, and In the Bprlng of 1801 the two Brooklyn clubs were con- solidated, and the new club took up Its home at Eastern I'ark. and remained there until the death of President Byrne, on March 4, 1808, when ('herbs II. Ebbets succeeded him as the president of the Brooklyn Club. The locality at East New York did not suit the patrons of the Brooklyn Club, and President Bbbets it once looked for a site that would be more centrally located, and selected one at Fourth ;,Aveaoe and Third .Street-' He laid out the grounds, fenced them In and built the stands, «nd hod everything completed and ready for occupancy without costing the owners of the Brooklyn Club a cent Bo It can bc seen that the Brooklyn Club twice practlrallv crossed the tone of its now homo —Ebbets Field—In its efforts to get grounds suitable to Its purpose, but at neither move was the time favorable for the selection of the new site. The Brooklyn people had to be carried along and worked up to the point where they would follow the team to any locality furnishing the most advantageous transportation facilities, as is now the case. Ebiibt's FIBI.D. The new grounds aro superbly situated be- tween the fsslilonable Bedford and Flatbush sections of Brooklyn, and only three minutes walk from the Prospect Park station of the Brighton Beach line ot the Kings Co. Blcvnted Railroad, while there are fifteen trolley lines constantly pausing through the section only a short block from the main entrance to the grounds, which will be located at the corner of .Sullivan Street end Cedar Place, with Bedford Avemie on the Eastern boundary and Montgomery Street on the Northern end. It Is claimed to be the most centrally located bait park of any In the country, and will, when completed, be one of the most up-to- date and finest grounds and stands in the country. The lobby of the grand stand en- trance will be eighty feet In diameter, with tiled floor, white glazed brick side walls and handsomely frescoed In beautiful tints. There will be separate and distinct entrances for all priced tickets. Thus tbe holders of 70 cent tickets will eater through n, particular stllo to the grand stand, tbexr ascend a short in- cline to tbc centre of the stand. The hold- ers of tickets to reserved seats or box seats will pass through a lower tier and proceed under the T5 cent seats to tho front of the frand stand to tbelr seats. Separate en- ranees will ntso rule the 60 cent and 25 cent seats. Patent voice Announcers will bc In- stalled In the stands to inform the patrons of •II changes that are made in the llne-uo of the teams, »r nny other necessary announce- ments, dotns; away with tbe unsatisfactory methods nonr In use. Toward the close of the game tbe lobby et the main entrance will be converted Into a waiting room for automobile and carriage fatrons. Large easy chairs will be placed herein, and an attendant will be present to summon the vehicles. A garage will be built on property owned by tne Brooklyn Clnb, opposite the ball Held, with • checking sys- tem for the convenience of the patrons to the ball jmtnes. Ebbets Field, when com- pleted, will have cost nearly $750,000, a sum that would have been considered beyond rea- son when the club was organised. Still the march of Improvement demands the changes. STANDING Or THE CLUBS. The end of the past week brought no change In the standing of the National League teams from that of the week ending oh June 22, although for a brief time the Brooklyns headed the second column, but a double headed victory from them on Satur- day, by the PblladelphUs. enabled the Utter to regain fifth place again. A more notice- able state ot affairs marked the American League race. The Philadelphia Athletics ' jumped into second place, shoving Chicago and Washington back a peg each. The work of the latter, last week, was far below that which it had been doing for several preceding weeks. The following Is a summary of the games played during toe week ending June 20, 1012: American Leaoub. Per P.O. P.O. Clubs, Won. Lost. Cent. Gained.

Tbo following quotation Is from one of the present day "experts" on a local afternoon paper: "We hnve set up our next target for McRrnw's left-handed sharpshooter. It Is the mark set by Radbourne In 1884, and equaled by Welch In 1880—eighteen straight games. Then comes Kecfe'a run of nineteen, which Is bogle, according to our deductions." It Is not surprising that any former feat is "bogie" according to your deductions. It requires considerable intelligence to be an expert. That Is, one who Is supposed to be well posted on all events of note that have hap- pened In tbe sporting line, but for one to upc tho methods of an expert gives htm the epneanince of possessing brains not very far removed from mediocrity. Such efforts sb the one above quoted go far toward destroy- ing the little reputation one may have on snorting events. Kcetc's record has a clean bl'l, Inasmuch as be started and finished every one of the nineteen games he won. Welch won seventeen straight games. During tho season of 1888 Timothy J. Keefe, pitching for the New York National League ti'iim, won nineteen straight gameB, which we believe Is the record of tho Na- tional League. Kuefe's Pitching Record.
