LOGAN PARK SPORTS GROUNDS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Probably most people have heard tell of the “ bogs of Ireland,’ but quite possibly they have rarely come into contact with bogs right here in this city, or what is more important, had to perform right in the very midst of the mixture. I am referring to the condition of the “ Varsity Oval,” last Saturday. It really was a sea of mud, from which percolated, when stirred in the course of play, a very pungent odour. Surely this calls for some drastic action, ns players run a risk from infection if injured during the course of play in this boggy mixture, and as sand practically adjoins all Logan Park’s environs, the remedy is
near at band. Hoping that this may be a warning to future teams of leather chasers, and that they may come prepared for the conditions, with suitable equipment such as gum boots, etc.—l am, etc.. Bogged. June 28.
