there is hope that they may be in

two before the year is out. If they
do, and express any enthusiasm for
the play, then the game is made in
England.
Lack of Funds.
Apart from the dificulty OF getting
British teams to train up to the ef-
hciency standard, the main problem of
the promoters hitherto has been the
lack Of funds But now that has been
overcome, because several sportsnen
with long purses have come forward
to set the baseball league on a sound
financial footing. Ordinary British
players have found baseball a more ex-
pensive game than cricket or foot
BALL UP to now, and as cash is not
plentiful among those who are like
hest candidates for a lively team, the
game has been abandoned in conse-
quence.
Now that these obstacles have been
removed baseball has the best chance
II has ever had on English soil. 1t ia
common thing to find up to 10 900
spectators round q football or cricket
match, and the excuse is that there
are not enough grounds available for
the onloolxers to become players them
selves. But all the summer there are
ample football grounds lying idle that
might be used for baseball. A score
or so of admirably placed fields of this
sort are scattered round London, and 1t
is on these, first Of all, that the revived
baseball league plan to make the
American game popular. They have
hit on good year for the ex-
pertinent, for London is full of Ameri-
cans, large contingents of whom at
tend matches and root" with a vigor
that almost startles prosaic John Bull
out of his phlegmatic calm. In time
he may learn to rival Uncle Sam as a
baseball fan.

M'LOUGHLIN Won
WESTERN TITLE

Lake Forest, Ill, Aug Maurice
Mclaughlin Of San Francisco, won the
western tennis championship yester-
day afternoon at the Onwentsia club
by defeating Thomas G. Bundy Of Los
Angeles, holder Of the title, in the
challenge round In three out OF four
sets, As. 81, 6-3, Ga.
The lack Of tournament practice on
the part of the Los Angeles player
was painfully apparent for although
the match was not a hard one he tired
quickly after the first set, and after
half of the second was over, was hope
lessly out Of the running He made
desperate effort to get the advan-
tage in. the third set Of the after
noon but 1t was merely squirt and the
superior stamina OF the younger man
told.
Neither man played good tennis
after the first set. Bundy seemed I'M
able to cope with with Mclaughlin and
the latter, after seeing that he had his
opponent beaten, played safe The
opening set showed some remarkably
clever placing by both men, but there
were none of the long sessions OF
volleying so liked by the galleries.
McLoughlin's speed was apparent in
the second set when he repeatedly
pressed Bundy at the net, but later in
the play both men let up in their
work.
In the first set Bundy seemed the
superior and played the header game.
Mclaughlin played harder game but
Bundy took quick advantage of his
mis- Tga1yA NfaT ma r11l .s
wild in this set and seldom managed
to get his drives inside the court. His
service also was not up to the stan
dard and Bundy's backhand strokes
Melted him point after point.

on hand to jolly him along he is apt
to figure badly for a few games and
then give 1t up in disgust. light his
pipe and sprawl on the ground by the
side Of cricket pitch as languid
onlooker.
Today the chief boosters Of the alien
pastime are Charles King, a we'll
known figure in the football world. and
A. A. Atkins, another all-round sports
man In other fields before baseball
gained possession Of his fancy. King
is president and Atkins secretary of
the league.
1T is too much to hope" said King,
that baseball will ever GUST football
and cricket as the British national
game, but that does not by any means
destroy the possibilities of baseball as
a very popular and attractive second
airy pastime even in England. These
things are affected by climate and ma
tional temperament to so great an ex-
tent that 1t is difficult to explain Just
how different games become associ-
ated with various countries. But we
hope to graft baseball on to the liking
Of British sports and we believe we
have very fair prospect of success"
Special Match.
One OF the biggest aids toward this
end was the special coronation match
played day or two after the crown
ing of King George between teams
representing England and America 1t
created an interest in baseball hither-
to unparalleled in England, for the
promoters were able to rope in whole
host of coronation notables as sup
porters on the grand stand, and today
many an aristocratic sportsman is dis
cussing ways and means Of "haviRg a
cut at it."
What that means to any variety Of
sport can only be seen in England
where it is necessary to head your en-
terprise, no matter what from a ba-
zaar to an athletic meeting, with the
big names that count in public opinion.
Just as General Booths Salvation
army was derided till King Edward
made 1t a pet subject for social patron
age, SO upper class aid is needed to
make baseball the real goods in Eng
lish eyes, And as all the royal family

George himself to little Prince John
