When this Is done ' And all of the splinters have been re moved work will commence onthe field, which will be built up for the games . next year. Every season a certain amount of 5 work is necessary on the field. The 1n . field paths have to b leveled tip. the pitcher's box raised and the depressions In the outfield filled. The soccer and . - ether football games raise havoc with the Infield and It oftentimes requires , weeks to work It Into shape for playing. ' Last year considerable aandy loam . was spread Over the paths and as a ra . suit 'they becace the fastest In the ' league. Thta . year more of the same sort of earth will be applied. It nlso has the effect of absorbing moisture, leaving the surface In good playing ' condition after fairly heavy rains. Flant Much Orui. A number of holes were left in the outfield and the groundkeeper will fill .these ln'and level off .as much as pos sible. ' One of the first things to do 1 will be to scatter about 100 pounds of blue grass and clover seed over the In field and the outfield. While the present field will not be Used .over the coming (season, after Which the learns will be transferred to the new grounds lh South Portland. It Is thought necessary to put In a good deal of work owing to the Continual use of the pork by both leagues next sea- ton. The grandstand will also be .; strengthened up for the wear and tear of next year, but It Is hardly likely that any additions will be made to the bleachers, the present accommodations " being regarded as large enough for next . season. Of course some of the crowds w. have to go into the overflow space on the field, bur-leaving these emerg ency crowds out of consideration,, the grandstand and bleachers will be ample.
