The Athletic Association certainly owes the civic powers a considerable debt for police protection and supervision on the field; it is only a fair suggestion that it return the compliment by a nominal daily investment in the effective use of an oil-cart on the street near the field. Or, if it is not within the province of the Association to provide some remedy from its own funds, it certainly is its duty to see that this conspicuous emblem of poor management is somehow destroyed once...
