BRITISH BASE BALL
NOT LIKE AMERICAN
By the Associated Press.


OXFORD, England. August 2s.-
Base ball is to be played in Oxford
next Summer for the amusement of
the numerous American visitors to
the city. Oxford hotelkeepers are
making arrangements for the games.
American students at Oxford Uni
versity indulge in the pastime, and
their team generally is conceded the
best in Europe. But the season of
the students ends late in June. whom
the university closes. Therefore the
hotelkeepers are negotiating with Eng
lish teams in several nearby villages
to come to Oxford to play for the
visitors.
These English teams are in what
might be called the experimental
stage, so far as good players and
knowledge of the niceties OF base ball
are concerned.
The unprejudiced spectator at a
game between the Englishmen would
have no hesitancy in declaring that
the players while at bat have the
stance and the swing of the cricket
player.
Pitchers use the stiff, overarm de-
livery OF the cricket bowler The
catchers disdain to don the mask, con-
sidering that the wearing of the wire
face protector would be effeninate.
Ffelders wear gloves, but often in an
exciting moment while running for a
fly they discard them and make the
catches barehanded. The umpires
wear straw hats and linen busters.

his recent illness having torn much

six years ago, when he went with his
family TO Creston, Iowa, his present
