BASEBALL IS GREAT
NOVELTY FOR BRITISH
(Continued from Page 1)
ber among their soldiers many men
who have, after several years of ser
vice, developed remarkable physical
power and endurance and from these
there could be selected performers
whose ability on track and field
would undoubtedly prove a surprise
to other competitors.
Under certain conditions such a
meet if it eventuates, might prove a
war-time substitute for the Olympic
games whicn were scneuuuxi iu up
hold in Berlin during the summer of
1916. The war naturally side-tracked
all possibility of these games and
there has not been a meeting of the
International Olympic Games Com
mittee for many months. At the last
conference here were tentaive re
quests for the privilege of holding the
games in 1920 from Cuba, Belgium
and Scandinavian countries.

Baseball is no longer the novelty
to Englishmen that it was a few
years ago but it was only recently
that the natives had an opportunity
to witness the American national
game staged amid the proper sur
roundings. Major League clubs have
toured England in the past and play
ed the game with all the skill for
which the players are noted but the
final touch was always lacking for
there were few, if any, real Ameri
can baseball fans to supply the natur
al 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
Britisher and the newspaper reports
elaborated upon the feature. In de

American League, composed of three
United States Army; one Navy club
and four Canadian teams, Lloyd’s
Weekly News published the follow
ing:
“We saw a little of America’s riot
ous enthusiasm for baseball at the
Arsenal football ground yesterday,
when after about three hours’ play,
the United States Army team beat
Navy team by seven runs to six.
From the moment when Admiral
Sims, commander-in-chief of the
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 a nerve-disturbing
hubbub. To the philosophical Eng
lishman who takes his sport calmly it
was all very bewildering, and he must
have been thankful that there were
not more than about 4,000 people
present. In this se’nse baseball is an
acquired taste, and perhaps when we
become more accustomed to it we
shall regard this “enthusiasm” as an
essential quality.
“Yesterday it seemed as if these
4,000 people made more noise than
we hear from 100,000 people on Cup
Final day at the Crystal Palace. The
crowd were part of the game. Every
sailor in his picturesque white-hat
it as his right to shout his instruc
ts as his right to shoht his instruc
tions to the men on the field. The
[Jiay ci o unviiicci up c«. t umuuf,
comment, and there was also the loud
voice of the umpire proclaiming the
“balls” and the “strikes.”
The play was good, and the finish
close to exciting, albeit we had to
wait for half an hour before a run
was scored. Then the Army went
ahead with three in their third in
nings and one in their fourth. But at
the end of the eighth inning the score
was level at five all. When the Navy
obtained the lead in what would or
dinarily have been the final innings
it appeared as if they were going to
snatch a win, but after very keen
play the Army squared at six all.
“There is never a draw at baseball,
extra innings being played until a
winning run is obtained by either
side. So the match was continued,
and at the eleventh atempt the Army
won.” «
