Thirteen members Of the Australian base
ball team sailed yesterday for England.

ton of trip around the world" said Man
ager Musgrove. I'VE shall probably play
some games in London and other parts OF
England and then resume cur journey
homeward. The American people have
been very kind to US and we shall carry
home pleasant recollections Of our journey.
desire to say that Mr.. A. G. Spalding and
Mr.. James A. Hart fairly outdid them
selves in the matter of courtesies toward
the team"
In discussing the base ball aspect of the
tour Mr.. Musgrove said:
THAT has been q disappointment. We
have played twenty-six games and lost all
but few. We were surprised by the Won
derfully fine point to which Americans
have reduced the game. The throwing and
fielding are marvellous, and until our play
ers improve in those branches Of the sport
they cannot hope to compete with Ameri-
cans"
What are the prospects OF the game in
Australian
Its future depends on it being taken up
by the schools. At present 1t is played
only by members of cricket clubs and Is
doubled up with cricket matches. If the
gone can be introduced in the schools and
taught to the youngsters. 1t will then have
q healthy growth"

movement, but the indications are
that il will not succeed. The lead
