CRICKET OUTRIvALS
BASEBALL OF U. S.
Britain's Great Sport Is More Of
4 Very Serious Business
Than a Pastime.

LONDON, July 2.-Englishmen are
commonly afraid OF taking anything
seriously, but 1t is the testimony of
every visiting American that they take
cricket very seriously. The national
game Is serious business and this sum-
mer. as for hundreds Of summers past
cricket fields are greater centers of
interest than Parliament or royal pag-
eants. No American writer would dare
tell a newspaper audience what cricket
is. with what it is played, or what
rules govern 1t. The largest standard
American dictionary takes 81 lines to
define baseball, but is quite unable to
define cricket in less than a hundred.
Seventy thousand Americans visit
England every summer and as the
cricket season is from Good Friday
till summer ends, there is q chance
that many Of them will see q cricket
match. II they have the time and the
patience, for a cricket match is a long
drawn-out battle. None of win-quick
games for the English; two and three
days can be used up easily seeing
whether Middlesex gets more runs
than Nottingham, or whether the
Australians will carry back the Ashes"
to their Pacific commonwealth.

The Mexican hat may cost the
equivalent of 20 cents in American
money or as much as $500. it all
depends on whether you want plain
straw or Angora felt with silver, or

indicated his wealth by the amount
of decoration on his hat) the hat still
indicates the social position to a large
degree. and in country districts you

fooling the Paddles, too. While
teaching Pig Latin to one of his

remove all foreign teachers.
If you folks could have seen that

the above mentioned news. 1 swear
he turned as dark as me, Keener
ran all the way to Texas and got
his birth certificate therefore
he saved his job. (This wasn't told
