The Australian baseball players who
came to America to surprise our profess

game In Chicago and there realized that
they didn't know the primer of tho sport.
All idea OF asking for games with profess
sional clubs In America left them after
the wonders Of that Chicago games were
spread before their eyes. Still they looked
at 1t philosophically and said they had
gathered enough points from what they
saw to holp thom Improve their own play,

The forfeiture by the Pittsburg club Of
two championship games In one week has
no prccedentfn the history of tho sport.
Strange as 1t may appear, both forfeltures
wero based on the same offense against
the same rule-refusing to resume play
when ordered to do 50 by the umpire. The
result was not only the loss of two games
while the club was occupying a good posi-
tion In the race, but 1t undoubtedly demor-
allied the team and perhaps laid the foun.
dation for the loss of raro chances in the
championship.
What picture these forfeitures have
made of those new antikicking rules, be-
cause the primary reason for each forfeit
was combined, continued and concerted
kicking over decision of the umpire,
which was matter Of judgment only and
involved no construction of a rule. So far
this year I've seen but one captain in the
National league who absolutely obeys the
rules injunction to not leave his position
In the field, on the coaching lines or at bat
