ward would probably never have been
made but for Spalding's famous one. The
college boys sail for England next Satur-
day, and every indication points 10 a brill
liant tour for them. They will attempt
to interest the college youths of old Eng
land in base ball, and they will probably
be successful. Base ball is reaching out
with octopus arms and will in time en-
brace the whole world. The game has
knocked the national game Of Canada out
Of sight, but IL will have a harder battle
in making Johnnie Bull forget his cricket
