United States have arranged to
have two foreign teams visit this
country this season-one from Canada, the
other from England. The Australian play
ers are not making tour OF the English
counties this summer: consequently 1t was
not possible to arrange to have them visit
cur cities on their way home. ~ was done
on their last trip with great advantage to
cricket interests in this country
The Canadian team Will play the annual
international match at Philadelphia Au-
gust q and 30. The Canadian team will
probably be chosen from among the fol-

International cricket has proved 80 sue
eessful financially in Philadelphia that not
withstanding the general depression in all
sports on account Of the war, an English
team will visit this country In the fall.
Mr.. p. +. Warner proved himself SO thor
cughly a sportsman when he was over
last year that he has been selected to
bring over the team. In recent letter he
says that he has got together an eleven
that Is stronger than last years with ev-
cry man capable OF hitting up a score:
The visitors are anxious for q more ex-
tended schedule of games than that usual
ly prepared for visiting teams. and they
have suggested that matches be arranged
In Philadelphia. Boston. Baltimore. Chica-
go. Toronto and Ottawa.
According to present arrangements the
men will leave Liverpool for Montreal on
August on the steamer Gallia. They will
open up with two days play at Montreal,
followed by three days game at Toronto
The first game in the country Is sched-
uled for Philadelphia, to begin September
ID. Mr.. Warner Is especially DESTROYS of
playing In New York, and he wants a
match arranged In that city between the
Philadelphia games. Should the Metro
poltan district league fail to provide for a
game. 1t is probable that the strong New
Jersey Athletic club team as winners OF
the pennant, will tackle the Rrtishers sin
gle-handed. They did this when the Aus
tralians came over here, and very en-
jcyabie contest resulted while the men
learned good many points IN regard to
the niceties OF cricket. The main Difficult
