IS TAKING GOOD
IN ENGLAND NOW
! Englishmen Bogin to Understand
Enthusiasm Displayed By Crowd
At a Ball Game.
Baseball is no longer the novelty
to Englishmen it was a few years
ago, but it was only recently that
the natives had an opportunity to
witness the American national game 1
staged amid the proper surroundings, j
Major league clubs have toured Eng- j
land in the past and played the j
game with all the skill for which 1
the players are noted, but the final
touch was always lacking for there !
were few if any real American
baseball fans to supply the natural
background for the sport.
With thousands of United States
soldiers and sailors now quartered
in England, this deficiency has been
remedied and the Englishman has
seen the fan as well as the player.
The result, as may be imagined, was
somewhat of a shock to the staid
i
Britisher and the newspaper reports
elaborated upon this feature. In
describing the opening of the Anglo
American league, composed of three
United States army, one navy club,
and four Canadian teams, Lloyd’s
Weekly News published the follow
j ing:
“We saw a little of America’s
j riotous enthusiasm for baseball at
: the Arsenal football ground yester
: day, when after about three hours
\ play, the United States Army team
j beat the Navy by seven runs to six.
I From the moment when Admiral
Sims, commander in chief of the
j American navy in European waters,
! and General Biddle, the American
G. O. C. in England, started the
game with a friendly throw, there
was scarcely a break in the nerve
disturbing hubbub. To the philo
sophical Englishman who takes his
; sport calmly it was all very be
wildering, and he must have been
thankful that there were not more
I than about 4,000 people present. In
j this sense baseball is an acquired
' taste, and perhaps when we become
more accustomed to it we shall re
j gard this “enthusiasm’* as an essen
| tial quality.
I “Yesterday it seemed as if these
4,000 people made more noise than
j we hear from 100,000 people on Cup
Final day at the Crystal Palace. :
: The crowd were part of the game,
i Every sailor in his picturesque white
| hat and every soldier in khaki re
garded it as his right to shout his
. instructions to the men on "he field.
The players themselves kept up a
i running comment, and there 'was
j also the loud voice of the umpire
! proclaiming the ‘balls’ and ‘strikes.’
] “the play was good, and the
j finish close and exciting, albeit we
j had to wait for half an hour before
a run was scored. Then the Army |
I went ahead with three in their third '
inning and one in their fourth- But j
at the end tof the eighth inning the !
score was level at five all. When !
the navy obtained the lead in what!
would ordinarily have been the -
final inning, it appeared as if they '
were going to snatch a win, but j
after very keen play the Army
squared at six all.
“There is never a draw at base
ball, extra innings being played un
til a winning run is obtained by
either side. So the match was con
tinued, and at the eleventh attempt
the Army won.”

One Hundred Mexican Editors Tour
ing States to Get Real Facts
Regarding War.
WASHINGTON. D. C.—The pres
ent tour of nearly one hundred
Mexican newspaper editors through
the United States is regarded oy
American officials in touch with
Latin American affairs as far more
important than it may seem to the
casual reader. It is one of the
steps which it is hoped may thwart
the German propaganda in Mexico
and defeat the sinister effort to
aline the republic south of the Rio
Grande against the United States.
President Wilson openly recog
nized this factor when he addressed
the editors in private audience at
the White House, and then insisted
that his speech should first be read
by the Mexican people before it was
printed in the newspapers of the
United States.
“The stories of German atrocities
in Belgium” said one of the Ameri
can officials in touch with Latin
affairs “do not seriously disturb the
average Mexican.
“Of course, the better clases, those
more highly educated, have the same
feeling regarding the treatment of
Belgium as the rest of the civilized
world, but this class is comparatively
small. The greater part of the Mexi
can people have seen so much horror
in recent revolutions that another
horror has little effect upon them.
“The Germans in Mexico have
persistently impressed upon the Mex
icans that German efficiency and
forehandedness, as well as German
valor, are going to win the war.
Every slight victory is immensely
magnified when related to the Mexi
cans. An example of this was
shown when the pro-German press
in Mexico reported the sinking of
sixteen American battleships off our
coast recently by LT boats when,
as a matter of fact, a few coasting
vessels only were sunk.
“The Mexican editors are sending
bafk to their papers stories telling
something of what the United States
is doing to win the war. These
stories cannot fail to impress the
readers, as the Mexican likes above
all a winner. The visitors have seen

•W
many things that very few Ameri
cans have seen; the wonderful work
of our shipyards, munition plants
and bifr jjun works. They are more
and more impressed not only with
the fact that the United States is
in the war to win but the fact that
the Allies with the help of the
United States will surely win the
war.
“This is the message the Mexican
editors are sending back to Mexico
daily—that Germany is doomed.
They fully appreciate the fact that
the United States has not yet reach
ed her maximum of productiveness
either of men or materials and that
the determination of this country to
make the world safe for democracy
is unshakable. And they realize
that when the war is over the
United States will have a tremendous
trained army.
“This visit of editors from our
sister republic is of supreme im
portance at this time, when the Ger
mans in their country have control
of a large portion of the press and
are doing their utmost to create
trouble of a serious nature between
the two countries.”
