J., the scene of the first real base ball games. The few old-timers who remem- ber the Knickerbockers will re- call when twenty-one runs con- stituted a game; whether they were made in three, four or nine innings didn’t matter. They used to go to the Elysian Fields with its undulating greens to see the Washingtons of Yorkville, fresh from their own camping ground near the old Red House. There was also the Fashion Race Course, on Long Island, where, in 1858, the ‘“exorbitant admission of 50 cents"” charged, and where there assém- bled “nearly 2,000 people to watch picked from the New York and Brooklyn clubs.” It was a healthy venture for the Flushing railroad and it helped to advertise base ball considerably. As a general rule, base ball grounds were free in those days; they were not even inclosed, for the records in different localities was players BALL GROU attendance, the and PLAYED. DISTRICT.

The Murray Hill Grounds, in New York, north of 34th street and 4th avenue, were the meet- ing place for the boys of the 40's, who were busy with one, two and three old-cat. They had been driven from field, where now Madison Square Garden is located, by the oncom- ing of rai'road interests, but they were happy in their new location and their game. There wére many other places in those payless days for the playing of base ball, but as pro- iessionalism crept in the game lost some of its rustic freedom.
