The Cricket GtrI.

Just at present the cricket girl Is most
largely in evidence in Philadelphia. AS
a rule she Is n bright and winsome
creature, who from earliest childhood
has watched the game as played by her
brothers and has at times taken hand
at it herself. AS she grew older col
legiate and international contests have
aroused her enthusiasm and the score
in the newspapers Is not Greek to her.
as 1t is to her sisters who have lived all
their lives within the confines of city
walls.
During the visit Of the Australians she
has been at her best, and 1t has been a
pleasure to hear her discourse learnedly
Of overs and byes. while her cheeks glow
with excitement and her young voice
rises fresh and clear upon the air as she
applauds some fine play with well
taken. SIR" Despite her superior knowl-
edge Of cricket she is not at all mannish.
and in her pretty, stylish gowns and
jaunty and bewitching hats she makes
a picture that ought to spur the players
on to more brilliant plays and greater
triumphs.
