his presence gave much tone to the
affair among tho Egyptians.
AS the game progressed we were
very curious to see how the khedive
was taking his base ball. Every time
we looked. though. he had his back
to the diamond and was looking In
the other direction. We couldn't I tell
whether he was in conversation or
simply declining to be interested.

The one outstanding feature to that
trip around the world which I will
never forget was the department of
our players. At no time on the entire
journey did any one ever do anything
that would bring criticism upon the
American athlete. These young fell
lows realized that they were repre-
senting their country and they did it
in way to bring credit on our sport
and ourselves. A noticeable thing was
their adaptability to foreign customs
Very quickly they observed that gen

Arriving in New York on the ILL

are not enough good ball players in
this country for three major leagues.
