BANKI.N. death of President Byrne, on Jan. 4, 180S, nttcr an Illness of more than a year Mr Ebbets was selected to flit his place, and as he always seemed to know Just what should be done, his first move was to build a new ball ground more suitable to the club's pa- trons than was Eastern Park, but he had to build it from an empty treasury. He accom- plished it, and that, too, without costing the club owners a penny, and that was the spirit under which he always worked. With in- creasing years comes an accession of wisdom which has enabled him to successfully carry out this final great project—Ebbets' Field— for which Brooklyn may well be proud, and It will be for many years pointed out as one of Brooklyn's most attractive features of AAAAAAAiAiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAail.

And all this was practically started from a skating lake. The old Union Grounds, in the Eastern Dis- trict of Brooklyn, were originally built for skating purposes, in opposition to the Satl- lite Pond across the street from It. During the height of the Winter season Wu. Cammeyer, owner of the lake, remarked: "This Is all very well In Its way, but there are only about two profitable months In the year." To this Mr. Chadwlck asked: "Why don't you lay ont a ball field and Invite sev- eral clubs to locate here permanently 7" la his characteristic way Mr. Cammeyer an- swered: "Freezing and spangles don't seem to be congenial." However, he took a more favorable view of the proposition, and wrote DeiroTt. ..'.'...'. '. 4 to several ef the leading clubs of the Eastern Cleveland ... 4 District, and the Eckford, Putnam and Con- " stellatlon Clubs, the best of their day In tho vicinity of the grounds, which were located at Marcj .Avenue and Rutledge Street, ac- cepted the offer. Earlv In the Spring of 1862 the ball field was laid out and everything was made ready tor the grand opening day, which was an- nounced for May 15, with a game between picked nines from the EckfordT Futnnm and Constellation Clubs. To-makefhe affair all the more attractive, Mr. Cammeyer offered a handsome.bat and ball as prizes'for the players who made the most runs on each side, and these were both won by members of the Putnam Clnb, Messrs. McKlnstry and Spencer being the lucky ones. For several seasons the price of admission to the Union Grounds was ten cents, and they soon became very popular. The great success the Union Grounds met with during the seasons of 1862 and 1863, led Messrs. Weed & Decker to build the Capi- toline Grounds, In what Is now the heart of the fashionable Bedford section, and every National League. Per P.O. P.O. Won. last. Cent. Gained.

There were so many Interesting In- cidents that a lack of space prevents us from enumerating them, although they will cling to our memory until the end of time. I robably the most Btlrrlng scenes of those memorable grounds were furnished by the old St. Louis Browne, "that Comlskev bunch," ? 3 ,I y wcre familiarly called. There were lew idle or even uninteresting moments from the time the BrownR took tho field until the Oo Koren Opera (Daniel V. Arthur, mgr.)-— Eyers-MeUrhle Stock (J. Elwiu MollrlUe, mgr.) gam. ended. They were? certainly the "Stormy Petrels" of the old Association days. Uurlng the Summer of 1883 Mr. Ebbets came to the Brooklyn Club—and that, too, without the proverbial four bits in his Jeans •—as a clerk, or the representative or Mr. Ahon who owned the controlling interest In the club, and his little ofBce, at Fifth Avenue J!" fourth Street, wag always a bnsy place. am the club's business affiilru were transacted mere by him.

It was during the Winter of 188J nnd 1885 Jiint Mr. Ebbets gained his first baseball re- nown through the drafting of a schedule of ciinmpionBhfp games for the old American As- sociation, of which the Brooklyn Club was a member. His efforts In that respect gave so rauch general satisfaction thnt the schedule i.L ".opPtod without a single change from "* ofKlnal state.
