enting on the attempt made by

their half of the secood, one of
tllsh newspaers said:
Welshmen never looked like
the 131 runs needed to win the
tit they tried hard. H. Evans, of
inge Gasworks. and E. Seer, of
1 Harriers, who was captain of

vve understand the situation.
Evans and Seer messed up the
pitcher to such an extent that
>re given the privilege of running
the bases 13 times each and that
and sundry other of their team
contributed the other 31 runs
ere tallied during the final half
of the pastime.

Here is the article, in part:
“Baseball lacks the stately dignity of

if not a highly skillful game. It lias
many merits. Tt should appeal to n

for success as a batsman. The bat,
which is no more than three and a half
inches wide, is held at right angles to
the body, chest hight.”
Then the expert goes on to describe
some of the rules of the game. Here is
the description of one rule, but it must
be one they cohoteC in England. No
one seems to know anything about it
over here:
•A batter is allowed to miss- only one
ball which the umpire passes as a good
one. On a second offense lie isruled
out.”
Can anyone imagine what would hap
pen if some umpire tried to “rule out”
Heinie Zimmerman after he had taken
only two swipes at the ball?
“The greatest excitement develops,”
declares our English “expert,” when
only two or three men remain not out.
for then liard-hitting and quick dash eft*
to the home base become a necessity.”
Our “expert” tosses bouquets at one
of the English players named F. Moore
who made “five hits for four each in
the first inning.” In other words, Mr.
More seems to have poked out four cir
cuit smashes.
If he did, we’ll go our “expert” in one
stanza, one farther in the bouquet idea.
We’ll have a hot-house at Mr. Moore.
He’s got it coming if he did really exe
cute these five home runs.
Continuing in his description, our “ex
pert” assures the populace that:
“Smart fielding and accurate returns
to the various basemen are important
features, but as the bill is nearly al
ways in the air the necessity for a well
cut and rolled field does not arise.”
Judging from the number or runs
nu de, it would be safe to assume that
“the ball was nearly aways in the niv,”
and, no doubt, last seen when disappear
ing over the fence, in case they used
fences in that game.
“An attractive feature of the game,”
we are told “is that mere is no waste
of time. As each batsman makes his
stroke and reaches first, second or home
base, as the case may be, the next bat
ter ready to do bis bowling.”
Refreshments, in the form of tea. were
sewed throughout the contest.
