With the thousands of spectators specta-tors he politely applauded a catch, and Inwardly quailed when fairly easy files wero ' muffed, which was not considered ' strange by the British crowtL "Beside me sat a fairly representative rep-resentative Englishman about thirty-five years of age," he said. "During ono of the batting rallies when one of the collegians was wasting about an hour or two scoring eighty runs, I asked him if ho had ever seen a game of baseball, and If so how ho -liked It. "'Oh, yes, during the war I snw a team of marines play the srllors,' he replied. "The game Itself was rather topping, but the din, the din, the din I' and ho shuddered." |
