a what happened to the English
schoolboys due to the result of the
visit of the Giants and White Sox.
These boys at one of the London
County schools laid out a diamond,
and, relying upon the description of
the game which they had clipped
from the newspapers, they proceeded
to have real game of American
baseball They used a broomstick for
a bat. and presumably cricket ball
for a baseball. Speed seems to have
been their main purpose and at the
end of ten minutes the catcher was
weeping with the pain of stonebruises
in his hands, the first baseman had
a bleeding nose. while the batsman
and pitcher had adjourned from their
relative positions to settle a dispute
with fistic battle.

kept well abreast of the times,
for it was announced only a short
time ago that the tango. hesitation
and other new dances were being sub
stituted for some of the former mo-
notonous drill work, and now comes
out the statement that the whole
form of gymnasium education there
is to be altered and competitive ath-
letics introduced in its place. the de-
sign being to get rid of the old drudg-
cry ard inspire real interest. Any
one who has had any familiarity at
all with the instruction of boys from
fifteen to tWenty-one years Of age
will confirm the view expressed that
