PENN CRICKETERS
PLAY GREAT GAME
AGAINST BRITISH
Splendid Record by Col

Sport Notes.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-The cricketers Of
the University of Pennsylvania who
have for several weeks been playing
the teams Of the English schools and
colleges are getting ready to go home.
They have only a few more games TO
play. While II is true that the Ameri-
cans have not made the clean sweep
which the Australian team did some
time ago and the South Africans have
almost done during the present season,
they have made an amazingly good
showing as cricketers. and their sports
manlike and gentlemanly department
have been marked. An enthusiastic ad-
mirer OF the Americans said 20 me re-
Gently:
Just compare what these boys have
done with what would have been done
by a baseball team Of English college
boys in the States. Why, they would
not have had a look-in against the boys
Of an ordinary American high school
at any stage of the game. These Penn
sylvania boys, on the contrary, make
almost any of the minor English cricket
teams hustle. II goes TO prove that the
United States is the greatest and most
cosmopolitan of sporting countries
The feature Of the Pennsylvania game
is the bowling OF II. V. Horden and the
batting of c. NJ Graham. Both these
men are top players.
Outside the game. the Americans have
been having royal time, and will re-
turn to America with nigh idea Of the
English as hosts.

The baseball season in England is un-

played daily about London. The game
as played by Englishmen is a weird
thing TO Americans, and, so far as fig

look like the scores of cricket games.

larity.

British turf authorities are speculating
on the chances Of Orby and Woolwinder
for the ST. Leger- 1t is the consensus
that the race is between these two
horses, which ran first and second for

horse, but then they were all cock-sure
the Irish-American horse had no show
for the Derby. I hear that Orby is
coming on in grand style, and that with

RESULT OF SENDING NEGROES

president of the college Is out with a
statement that the two negroes left

Perhaps. after while, well meaning
but ignorant people in some of the
northern states will learn that Il is
not to the Negroes advantage to be sent
to white school. Anglo.Saxon
