KING GEORGE WITNESSED THE CAME
White Sox Defeated Giants in Eleven Inning Game by Score of 5 to 4-Daley Bangs Out Homer Which Won the Game-Brtishers Mystihed Throughout About 3O,OOO Saw the Contest.

London, Feb. 26.-The king of Eng land. as a baseball fan, today expe- rienced the thrill that comes when a spectacular hit breaks up an extra inning game. Seated within wire enclosed box behind the home plate of a diamond that had been laid out on the Chelsea football field, His Ma testy saw, in the second half of the eleventh inning, Tommy Daley Of the Chicago Sox meet with his bat a fast ball delivered by Faber of the New York Giants, drive 1t far across the field and into the topmost bleachers for a home run and won the game for Chicago, 5 to 4. The king clapped his hands enthusiastically as Daley trotted around the bases and the thir- ty thousand other spectators followed the kings example.
 The game between the worlds tour ing American baseball teams had been widely advertised and, having King George as a patron, it attracted to the field persons from all branches of fty, cabinet ministers, diplomats, and society leaders. The American col ony in London was out to man.
 King George. who was accompanied b Walter Hines Page, the American ambassador, watched with great in- terest the closely contested el7Ven in- nings, heartily applauding brilliant plays. This was especially noticed when, about midway of the game, Faber, pitching for the Giants, got himself into a hole. having three men on bases and only one out. Steadying himself, the Giant twirler retired the White Sox without permitting man to cross the plate. His Majesty ap plauded Faber's good work as widely as did any of the American fans.
 So well did the king understand the game that it was seldom he had to request MT Page to explain any of the numerous intricate plays. King of the contest when, with three men on bases, and only one out, the Sox were retired on a clever double play For the average Britisher, however, as much cannot be said. Before two in nings had been played, many of them confessed themselves nystified. Through the remainder of the game they sat as if dazed.
 It was a field day for the baseball hungry Americans resident in Lon don, and they cheered and rooted in the manner customary at games play ed in the United States.
 In the lulls of their exuberance they tried to explain the fine points of the game to their British naighbors, but i without much success,
 But all In all, the game was a splendid one, despite the soggy field. There were frequent good hits and much fine base running. In addition to Daley, whose home run won the game for the White Sox, Crawford of the Chicagos and Lobert of the Giants drove the ball into the stands for the circuit of the bases.
 Tonight the American actors now playing in London entertained the baseball men at 8. supper which was followed by a. variety show.

cATcHERs IN BOTH LEAGUES.
The National Were Better, but Has
 Changed Now.

Are the \catchers in the National league a trihe better marksmen than those of the American. or does the American carry the edge in speed?
 Last season American league base runners pilfered 1877 sacks. against 1876 in the older leagu@a jump of over 100 thefts. In the National. New York and Cincinnati were the only clubs to organize over 200 steals. while in the American no less than five of the eight clubs ranged above this mark, outlining a distinct mar gin. But whether Cobb, Milan, Noel Ter. Jackson. Collins, etc. are faster than Carey. Bescher, Burns and Shafer or whether Archer. Meyers. Killifer. Hariden, Wingo. etc, are better peg gers than Schang, Schalk, Sweeney. Ainsmith, Henry. etc, is another ar
 There was a time when the Nation al had a big margin in backstonninp material. but. with such America n league additions at Schang. SchaIk. Agnew, Henry and few others. this edge has been cut down with the pass ing or kiing and the waning of Bres- nahan.

There had been no snow north of Ed monton and the rivers and lakes were solidly frozen Both parties there fore took to the ice and attained high speed. Two days after the first party had started the owner of another car left Edmonton in the hope of over taking the others. Following the same trail on the rivers and lakes. he over hauled both of the other parties and reached the trapper. 400 miles from Edmonton, & full day ahead of the others.
