A Meeting mt Mannheim Arranged Between
American and Canadian College Players.
Should cricket never become popular in this
country, the followers Of the game could not be
blamed. Every effort has been made to draw
public attention to the game, not alone by local
leagues and associations. which do considerable
good in their way, but by the arrangement OF
inter-city and inter Estate matches: by having
contests of an international character with Can
ada England, Ireland, and Australia, and by
sending teams abroad. Ono would think that
nothing was left OF an original nature, but that
repetition should be the rule. But now now
contest has been arranged, which should attract
to the game the attention Of those whose notice
is most desired. This is the arrangement of an
annual international game between the colleges
of the United States and Canada. The idea was
broached last year, and, while 1t was then too
late to put II into active operation 1t was so well
received that the game has been arranged for
the first week In July.
In this country there has been in existence for
some time, the intercollegiate Cricket Associa-
tion. and although It comprises only Harvard,
Havcrford. and tho University of PENNSYLVANIA,
the games for the championship have attracted
considerable attention. although the matches
have necessarily been played very early In the
