The uase BAN Players in England.

The London Standard of the 3lst ult.
SAYS: Yesterday the American base ball
players. who have come over to England
fer the purpose of giving Englishmen an
insight into the details of the game OF
base ball, the national game of America,
made their first appearance at Liver
pool at Edgehill, the ground having
been kindly given for their use by the
Liverpool Cricket Club.
1t may be as well to state that the
players represent the two champion
clubs of America, the Boston Red Stock
ings and the Athletics. of Philadelphia,
the former the present, the latter the ex-
champions. Since their arrival on Mon
day last, great interest has been mani
tested in Liverpool in their doings, and
the short practice that they had each
afternoon produced very favorable inn
preston in favor of the game. The
numbers we're very greatly in excess Of
ANYTHING known on the Liverpool
grouad. Shortly before three o'clock,
the hour fixed upon for commencement,
the Americans res sched the ground, and
after the usual preparations of altering,
marking out the grounds, etc, the game
was opened. The players we're dressed
in the uniforms OF their clubs as used
in America, the Bostons having red
stockings, white flannel Knickerbockers,
white shirts, with Boston across the
breast, and white flannel caps, with red
trimming. The Athletics, on the other
hand, had the same white suits, though
they we're well distinguished from their
opponents by blue stockings, the word
Athletic in blue letters, with plain
white caps. The appearance of the
players was greeted with much applause,
and it was well deserved, for a smarter
collection of athletes or a 6ner looking
body of men it would be impossible to
find, all Of them being 1.-THE, active aRd
wonderfully agile in the field. Every
where the visitors seem likely to have a
hearty welcome, as Mr.. Pullman, of the
American sleeping cars, has granted
them free use Of his cars while Ia Eng
land, and the Midland Railway Com.
pany mas generously placed a special
train at their disposal from Manchester
on Sunday morning stopping at Matlock
for two hours en- route.
