with his money was to buy home for

American Baseball stars 80 Fopularize
the Game Abroad. A


the Game Abroad. A
New York, July 3.-An effort viii be
made by ythe British Baseball associa-
ton to induce two representative mines
of American professionals to come over
to England after the close of the Ameri-
can season and give a series of exhibit
ton games in various parts Of the Unit
ed Kingdom.
This statement is made on first class
authority. The idea is, If possible. TO
have one nine composed of the star
players in the National League and an
other of the best players in the Ameri-
can League.
Those back Of the scfzeme are sure
that they cannot only be able to offer.
such fiattering Inducements to the Amer
Jean players that the best Of them will
be glad to sign, but shaEet a little left
over for themseWes.hssa 1suaf 61l
OF course the underlying idea is TO
popularize the game In Great Britain
by having the best experts in the world
play It.
There is no denying the fact that even
the kind Of baseball which is being
played by the British teams IS growing
steadily IN popularity. The crowds at
the games are increasing. and It can also
be said that the play Is improving. 1t
is believed that opposing teams of the
best American players would draw
great crowds and give the game such a
boost that its success would be assured.
Some of the American baseball mag
mates may be offered q share In the
scheme.

Fast shortstop on Cleveland Team
Puts Money in Real Estate.

Chicago. July S.-Terry Turner, the
fast little shortstop on the Cleveland
team. comes from E1lwood City. Pa.
but he owns two farms in the sun
flower state. and when his baseball
DAYS are over he expects to let his
whiskers grow and live in Kansas.
Turner played two years in the
American association before Cleve-
land got him. He will never break
boards in the fences with a batting
rally. but his fielding keeps the sport
ing writer's searching for adjectives
and descriptive phrases.
Turner should be good for many
wears on the diamond. as his only
'bad' habit is smoking cigars, which
he generally buys himself. He is not
close in money affairs. but he saves
a pretty fair share of his salary and
invests it in Kansas real estate.
It is a rather surprising fact that
nearly a dozen we'll known ball play
ers are heavy investors in Kansas
farms. one of the biggest being Fred
