Welshman full credit and declaring
him the cleyerest man in the world to-
day.
At the final gong, when Referee Ey-
ton stepped forward, Rivers turned his
back, voluntarily acknowledging de-
feat.
Outboxed at long range, helplessly
pinioned in the clinches, Rivers was
baffled and hopelessly mastered from
gong to gong. Welsh saved his right
almost exclusively for the clinches,
using it to beat a tattoo on the MeXi-
cans kidneys whenever they came to
close quarters. Rivers was even more
helpless in the infighting than at long
range.

have the youthful joy of 'corking' the
ball as hard as possible at the fleeing
batsman. 1t is superbly organized and
specified in every detail; but the
framework Of the old English village
game still remains Secondly, in bat
ting, in spite Of all the gorgeous smit-
ing that was seen, baseball does not
compare with cricket. Next, the
cleverness and velocity of the pitching
are wonderful. Finally there is no
fielding in cricket which approaches
the throwing which were seen yester-
day. The catching Gin the cricket
sense) was extremely good; but the
real marvel of the game was the al |
most indescribable suddenness and ac-
curacy of the returns. 1t is little ex-
aggeration to say that in the double
plays (when two batsmen were put
out off the same stroke) the eye had
difficulty in following the movements
and the flight of the ball. The throw
ing from all points was approximately
perfect. The catching (again In the
cricket sense) almost as perfect, and,
in the case of both Merkle and DAILY, |
at first base, quite beyond praise. Be-
fore the game began (the King did
not arrive until a few minutes before
8 o'clock) an exhibition of hitting
fielding and throwing was given by
members of the two years, which de-
lighted the spectators, one excellent
piece Of fooling being when the New
York men for several minutes played
with an imaginary ball. Members of
the crowd contributed their share to
the entertainment by pleading with
the pitcher to kill the batsmen, and
the way the umpire called the strikes
and balls and delivered his decisions
was a joy. Altogether it was an ex-
cellent game but, to English specta-
tors-it was not cricket. 1t cannot be
said that the crowd showed any evil
dence of thinking that baseball is ever
likely to supersede our national game.
"The sides batted in the following !
order (New York going in flrst), the
places in the field of each man being
given after his name.
