—The London Rw! in it? column report of 

 the base ball match at Lords, played Au- 

 gust 3, in speaking of the temperate habits 

 of the American players, says: "The two 

 nines were fine athletic, men. As with our 

 cricketers, out-door; exercise seemed, to have 

 conduced to vigor and health; but, as is un- 

 fortunately too often not the case with our 

 cricketers, they all were men who led an ab- 

 stemious and moderate life." 



Lng of the fielding of flic base ball 

 players, the notice in the Tost, says: " The 

 admirable part of the play bid nil through 

 bean the fielding. Nothing hit up in the 

 air escaped. The accuracy of the catching 

 would Lave rejoiced the heart Of old Clark, 

 and made many a slow bowler envious of 

 the pairs of bands. But the accuracy and 

 skill of the catching was surpassed by the 

 wonderful precision" of throwing. A mo- 

 ment to look, a moment to get the proper 

 equilibrium, and then the ball is hurled, 

 ' sharp and low,' quit$ straight to the base- 

 men's hands. No fumbling, no half- volleys, 

 no wide throws. So accurate was it that 

 the exclamation of many a cricketer pre- 

 sent was— ■: With such throwing wbo would 

 not be a wicket-keeper." 



— Of the lessons taucht Emrlish cricket- 

 ers by base ball, he says: "Tic lessons 

 taught were, as we suspected first, the im- 

 mense advantage of cultivating fielding. 

 Could English cricketers throw and field as 

 the Americans did we should see much less 

 of mammoth scores, and matches would be 

 far more interesting. Secondly, the ad- 

 vantage of losing no time. If the outside 

 took The field with half the alacrity shown 

 by the Americans during base ball, or when 

 the time came for them to resume cricket 

 when the base ball was done, far fewer 

 matches would be drawn, and far more men 

 would tie able to play. Lastly, the necessity 

 of playing for the side. A man's hits tell 

 in his own favor when the record is kept, 

 but rhev help his colleagues as much as him- 

 self. In his fielding, too, be constantly 

 keeps in mind the necessity of enabling 

 others to distinguish themselves, and be 

 knows that his own unaided efforts are use- 

 less unless he is well backed up. A man, 

 for instance, who bas caught a catch when 

 a player is on base, hurls the ball at once to 

 the baseman in hopes of getting two birds 

 as it were with one stone. All the players 

 play for the side, and not for themselves. 

 Individual prowess is merged in united suc- 

 cess, and every one cares more for bis fel- 

 lows than himself. There can be no fear 

 that cricket will be ousted by base ball. It 

 has more variety and more phases. It is 

 both harder wort and greater idleness. But 

 many men could find time for base ball who 

 have no time for cricket, and in bringing 

 under the notice of Englishmen a game 

 which has so many good points and the 

 great advantage of "being playable in three 

 hours, they have conferred on us a benefit 

 for which "our thanks are due.'' 



The same paper in speaking of the "new 

 Ajrierican game," in another place, says: 

 " Base ball is an American modification, 

 and, of course, an improvement of the old 

 Enarlish game of rounders; or, as it is 

 called in West Biding, touch-ball. The 

 children in these districts play it without a 

 bat. or club; they strike the ball with the 

 open hand, and have posts or stones at the 

 comers of the playground, which corres- 

 pond to the 'bases' of the American game. 

 If the ball was caught before it reached the 

 ground, or the fielder could hit the striker 

 with it before he reached the 'touch,' he 

 was out." 



This shows how absurd it is to compare 

 rounders with our manly game.

 in Euglaud in their games with each other,

 —The London 77».r..' report of the cricket 

 match of August ;5, at Lords, first days 

 play, is as follows: The game commenced 

 at 12:25 by the M. C. C. sending in .Messrs. 

 A. Lubbock and Courtenay to the bowling 

 of Harry Wright and jIcBride, the former 

 beinsr a* medium-paced round-arm bowler, 

 while the latter has a fast underhand de- 

 livery, with a very low pitch. The under- 

 hand bowler soon disposed of two wickets, 

 Courtenay and Round both trnvuig their leg- 

 stumps upset, when the telegraph denoted 

 two and eight respectively. Lucas then 

 joined Lubbuck, and, thanks to the really 

 excellent batting of the latter, the score 

 was increased rapidly until the last named 

 batsman had the misfortune to " play on," 

 his runs all being obtained in that finished 



style which invariablycharacteri7.es his bat- 

 ting — three for thirty-four. 3Ir. Bird lost 

 the company of Mr. Lucas, who was easily 

 caught at point — at forty-one for four wick- 

 ets—and soon after Mr* V. E. Walker had 

 come in luncheon took place. The meal 

 having been discussed, base ball wasplayed 

 until 6 o'clock. On resuming cricket' so 

 freely did the batsmen hit that the bowlers 

 i hanged ends at <1G up, and Mr. V. E, "Walter 

 driving MeBride for two 4's from two fol- 

 lowing balls, be at 58 gave way to George 

 Wright. In spile of ' these changes the 

 score still continued to increase rapidly, 

 several short runs being loudly cheered by 

 the spectators. In fact it was palpable 

 that the American were quite tired out. At 

 length, just before 7 o'clock, Mr. "Walker 

 had his leg bail taken, he having played a 

 lively inning quite bis own style: —

—It will be seen that the twelve inclnded 

 six of the gentlemen's twelve who came out 

 here in 1872 together with Mr. V. B. Walker 

 and the noted wicket keeper, Mr. Round, 

 a member of Parliament. So the Ameri- 

 cans bad a very strong team against them.
