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.
