Many of the lads have played baseball. and
this helps them some in fielding. but proves
a detriInent to their bowling and batting,
for the bowler has to throw with stiff-arm
movement, which is not used in baseball at
all, while the fact that the ball hits the
ground before the wicket and reaches the
batsman on the bound makes a change in
the style Of batting absolutely necessary.

sus of opinion among the boys seernS TO be
that cricket is more of gentleman's game
than the American national sport. and while
not as spectacular is more scientific. 1t cer-
tainly requires nerve as the helders are ai-
lowed no piliOw-like gloves with which the
protect themselves. and the batsmen have
to wear shields and leg guards to ward on
stray balls.
One thing In particular is noticeable in the
games played at the park-there is never
any disputing over the umpire.s decision
and no possibility Of such an affair as the
