Like Baseball
InSone Ways

Although the English sport writer's
are 10th to admit that baseball is SUI
perior to cricket, they were quick to-
perceive and praise the brilliant skill
in the handling of the ball and the ex-
cellent team play of Giants and White
Sox in the recent game played at Lon
don. In fact, some of the writer's were
inclined to the opinion that the play
was too mechanically perfect, as Will
be seen from he following extract of
review, Following the exhibition COZ
test of February &c. One writer states:
"If there is one drawback about
baseball, to the English eye, it is the
apparent hopelessness of any one ever
being able to make any score worthy
of mention against such scientifically
skillful pitching-it is throwing, pure
and simple-and so tight afield. The
alertness, fine judgment and the most
precise throwing of the splendidIyl
played field seem to form an almost
| impossible bar to the batsman eyerI
