The catcher faced NW. The site was a poor choice for a ballpark. The distances down the foul lines were so short that a second set of foul poles was erected in back of the fences. A ball that cleared the fence but landed between the two poles was a ground rule double. The field had no grass, the entire field was hard clay. On Champlain, between E. Grand Boulevard & Helen on northwest corner of Helen and East Lafayette
