He announced that henceforth the league would make overtures to such players as it wished, rogardiess of their standing with organized baseball. INDIANAPOLIS, March 9,-E. B.

Cotter was An Englishman’s Remarks At the Bail Game.in London By Sophie Irene Loeb. I attended the baseball game in 101 and bed an Englishman on each side of me. After no little digiculty in explaining some of the points of the game to them, following are some of thetr remarks: ‘Why does the pitcher keep continually kissing the ball? Why does the catcher wear armor? I'd like @ look at that glove. It seems such a queer implement. You don’t get much for your money if they only get @ first base all the tl ‘That's so careless of the runner to get #0 far away from his base. (While a player was stealing a base.)’ What's the pitcher looking to the right and left all the time for? Ho delays the game. Jolly rotten luck this “foul” business. What's the good of that fellow t# him off his head, I'don't think the pitcher ought tojsend the ball without giving the batter full warning. T think that bat ought to be ructed @ little wider, anyhow. It seems a bit unfair that he should be allowed to take his base fur doing nothing at all after four balls have been thrown. I'm sure the game will have to be changed !f we're going to play it, Those “fouls” won't please our people. When a fellow hits a ball as hard ‘as that he ought to get something for It. That fielder fellow catches the bull every time and don't give any chance for playing, and there should be more scoring. This thing of getting stopped all the time around the bases seems to keep everybody in hot water all the time.
