I: is very likely that the team-of English
amateur cricketers, who are to be brought
20 this country next month by Lord Hawke,
viii visit Pittshurg The question has not
been definitely settled yet, but member of
the Pittsburg Cricket Club stated last even
ing that efforts are being made to arrange a
game between a local eleven and the visi-
tors During a conversation the member
made the following suggestion:
"While it is true that our team is not so
strong as formerly, we can soon get an
eleven together that will keep the English
amateurs busy. / therefore suggest that we
get to work at once and get All eleven to-
gcther So that they can get all the practice
possible between now and the time Of the
proposed game. Lord Hawke will bring
good team with him, but we ough. to be
able to make good showing against them.
The English team will 60 tc Chicago. and
they could easily stop off here and play
game of one innings or two innings. They
could play here either in going to or coming
from Chicago. would further suggest that
either Exposition Park or Recreation be
secured for the contest, and if this were
done the affair would be great success"
