The frame will be entirely of steel filled in with bricks to a distance of five feet above the ground, the remainder being plastered on the outside and sheathed within. Netting will be hung at a distance of eighteen inches from the wall on the inside. In winter the cage will not only accommodate the baseball candidates but will also serve for the cricket...
