REJOICE
LOOKING FOR
ZEPPELINS
(From London Times.)

The baseball match on the Chelsea
football ground was an awakener for
London. 1t was a revelation of
America at play. and the afternoon
was as as a pillow fight in
a boys dormitory. It too us com
pletely away to those distant times
when we could rejoice under a blue
sky without looking for Zeppelins
and Gothas. The afternoon was
crammed full of extraordinary mo-
ments. It passed in such a pande-
monium as was perhaps never heard
before on an English playing field,
not even on a football ground. The
United states seemed to be shouting
in chorus. and Great Britain Joined
in. a little %breathless, but determin-
ed to make a good show of lung
power.
