Riverside Chrysler-Plymouth Dealer Fairgrounds Field, Stand Improvement Baseball fans going out to the fairgrounds park next week when the Rogues return to town to open a long home stay against willows and Marysville, will see several changes and improve ments to the grandstand, field and concessions. Yesterday and today construc tion of a concession booth at the south end of the grandstand was being done. This will give fans quicker service and will make it easier for them to obtain re freshments than it has been since the center entrance was closed. Fans sitting in back of home plate will receive more protec tion from batted and wild thrown balls than previously with the addition of a thicker and heavier wire screen imme diately back of the plate. Work on Diamond Workmen at the field also are getting the diamond back in shape following the recent Sheriff's Posse roundup. The outfield sector was little touched by horses' hoofs but the infield grass has needed replanting in many spots and hoof marks re moved by rolling. The workmen are also putting in new topsoil on the infield so newly planted grass may take root. Some of this already is showing above the ground but it is not expected to be back in top shape in time for next Tues day's opening game with Wil lows. A committee from Rogue Val ley Baseball, Inc., sponsors of the Medford Rogues, and the Sheriff's Posse worked out an agreement earlier this year on use of the grounds.
