What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable pitching mound comprising:
 a first mound section having at least one side wall having a lower edge that extends outwardly and upwardly at an angle to form a receiving slot; and   a second mound section having at least one side wall with a lower edge wherein the second mound section is connected to the first mound section by placing the lower edge of the second mound section within the receiving slot of the first mound section.   
     
     
         2 . The mound of  claim 1  wherein the first mound section is a center section having an outer end, an inner end, a top surface, and a pair of side walls. 
     
     
         3 . The mound of  claim 1  wherein the first mound section is an outer section having an outer edge and a top surface. 
     
     
         4 . The mound of  claim 1  wherein the first mound section is a center section having a pair of outer ends, a top surface, and a pair of side walls. 
     
     
         5 . The mound of  claim 1  wherein the at least one side wall has a straight section and at least one angled section that angles outwardly from the straight section. 
     
     
         6 . A portable pitching mound comprising:
 a first mound section having a pair of side walls having a lower edge that extends outwardly and upwardly at an angle to form a receiving slot; and   a second mound section having at least one side wall with a lower edge wherein the second mound section is connected to the first mound section by placing the lower edge of the second mound section in the receiving slot of the first mound section.   
     
     
         7 . The mound of  claim 6  wherein the pair of side walls each have a straight section and at least one angled section that angles outwardly from the pair of side walls.
