 One thing that impressed me most, ,' said President Brown of Chicago to- night. was the presence of so many young men. students of public schools.

A striking example of a pitcher outguessing the batter is afforded in once of the Chicago-Detroit games for the world championship.

ENGLISH PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
Yale Harvard Not Up to Standard to
 Meet Oxford Cambridge.

With the sailing Saturday morning of the team which will represent Har- ward and Yale in the international meet with Oxford and Cambridge in England. next month, speculation is rife as to which side will be the win Ter. At the present writing the chances are very stron sly in favor of the Englishmen. This IS due more to the fact that the Harvard Yale team is the poorest that these universities ever sent against the Britans than to any unusual strength on the part of the British. An additional reason for the Englishmen being the favorite is the fact that the games will be held on English soil aid within a few days aft CT the arrival of the American team, and before they have had an oppor- tunity to become acclimated.
 A cOnSerVatiVe estimate would give England five frsts and America three firsts. the final event being d toss-up. England ought to win the loo ward dash the half. the mile, two miles the broad jump, high jump and 12O yard hurdles. The quarter mile shouId be anybody's race
