Honolulu, Nov. c5.-Mr. spaldng's ambitious Project
Of introducing baseball TO all the great nationaltes OF
the world seems 10 be in fair way OF becoming &C
compllshed, and while definite decision is stu held
In abeyance there is every reason to believe that tho
return home Of the baseball combination VIII DO by
the way of the Atlantic Ocean. The one thing upon
which everything hinges is tho nature Of the advicos
which Mr. spalding WIN receive at Sydney 1om his
agent in England. Tho ball players composing the
two teams have received the OF the possible ex-
tension Of tho trip with expressions OF enthusiastic de-
Hight and look forward, with desire worrying on IN
tensy, to making trip the thought OF which, few
weeks ago. they would have regarded as a vague and
fantastic dream.
The course of the tour is as yet merely an outline
but II would not be surprising II you would shortly
have 10 publish Anson's attempt to knocis fungocs'
over the Pyramids and indulrng In " kick at tho
Sphinx because decision did not meet with his ap-
prevail You will probably be amused BY reading the
translation of baseball game In classic and techncai
German or hearing Of Wards attempt TO coach his men
in pure and indebted French on the Champs Hysees'
or other place where the volatile frenchinen may
give the ball tossers chance.
When questioned on the subject Mr. spaldinr said !
at want to state emphadcally at the outset that
nothing definite in regard to the trip around the
world has yet been decided upon Everything ue
