New York press emphasizes that the
spectators lacked enthusiasm yes
terday. It's natural. What is there
to enthuse about row of 600 600 600?
Now in cricket it is quite common
event for enc PLAYER to knock one
hundred runs in single afternoon.
There is one striking difference be-
tween cricket and baseball-the crowd.
In cricket the captain tells the team
what to do. In baseball the gentlemen
in the grand stand tell the players
what to do. And they're so charming
Nv free. And never satisfied.
