No more interesting account of a game was written than that which appeared In the London Times on February 27, which reached Harrisburg to-day. The story was headed, "American Base ball"; "A Match in London," and is as follows; "The King was present at the Chel sea football ground, Stamford-bridge, yesterday afternoon to witness the baseball match between the two Amer ican teams, the New York Giants and the Chicago White Sox. His Majesty was received by the American Am bassador, who sat with him and ex plained the points of the game, the Kinjg asking many questions. His Ma jesty remained until the end of the match, which resulted in a win for Chicago by live runs to four. The game was watched by about 25,- 000 spectators, and, considering the stickiness of the ground, the play was of a very high order. At the end of the nine Innings the score stood 2-2. The tenth inning was extremely dra matic and prodtfeed two runs to each wide, making the score 4-4'. New York Jailed to score In the eleventh, and Daly, the first man to go to the bat for Chicago, hit a magnificent home run and won the match. Crisis of (be Matrh "Perhaps the greatest incident of the match was in Chicago's tenth in ning. The score was 4-2 in favor of New York, and Chicago had two men out, with one (Weaver) on second base, when Crawford came to bat. The situation cried aloud for a home run —and it came, the batsman lifting the ball gorgeously over the head of the left field into the middle of the spec tators in the further stand, scoring (Weaver being on second base) the two runs necessary to tie the match. It was hard on Faber, who pitched finely throughout the game; but it was superb. "There were, however many thril ling inclde«""3. In Chicago's eighth in ning an extraordinarily brilliant piece of vork by Merkle put Bliss out bv a matter of inches at the home plate' as he came in from third base, and for the moment saved the game for the Giants. Magee's-performance at left field again and again roused the spec tators to enthusiasm. One catch in particular, when he took a fiver from Daly with his left hand high up against the rails, was almost too spec tacular to be 'good ball.' On the other hand it was bad fumbling in the short field that allowed Chicago in the third inning to get three men on bases be fore one was out, so that when Weav er got the ball away cleanly to the boundary Evans and Bliss came home, and gave Chicago the first two runs of the match. It was poor fielding again which enabled Magee In New York's next inning to get to first base, so that when Lobert hit a great home run the score was equalized. Such Ihings, however, were very few, and the bad conditions of the ground more than excused them. In compensation there were some brilliant double plays notably in Chicago fourth inning, in which Lobert, Doyle and Merkle took First, It is clearly 'glorified rounders.' part. Faber pitched very well through out for New York For Chicago Scott, who is reputed the best pitcher In either team, grew a trifle wild in the fifth inning, and was succeeded by Benz, who did extremely well in the trying final periods. The catching (in the American sense) of Wingo, Bliss and Slight was faultless. Impressions of tlie Game "English spectators, to whom the game was new, must yesterday have received certain definite impressions. Of course it has been immensely de veloped, and the fielders no longer \ Manhattan Shirts SPRING STYLES FORRY'S 3 tZ7 iTcSgarsli) HE lASTE lELLS IHE I ALE. ) ' * . - *V s • " WEDNESDAY EVENING &ARRISBURG TELEGRAPH MARCH 18,1914. have the youthful joy of 'corking' the ball as hard as possible at the fleeing batsman. It is superbly organized and specified in every detail; but the framework of the old English village game still remains. Secondly, in bat ting, in spite of all the gorgeous smit ing that was seen, baseball does not compare with cricket. Next, the cleverness and velocity of the pitching ure wonderful. Finally there is no fielding in cricket which approaches the throwing which were seen yester day. The catching (in the cricket jsense) was extremely good; but the real marvel of the game was the al most indescribable suddenness and ac curacy of the returns. It is little ex aggeration to say that in the double plays (when two batsmen were put out off the same stroke) the eye had difficulty in following the movements and the flight of the ball. The throw ing from all points was approximately perfect. The catching (again in the cricket sense) almost as perfect, and, in the case of both Merkle and Daly, at first base, quite beyond praise. Be fore the game began (the King did not arrive until a few minutes before 3 o'clock) an exhibition of hitting,i fielding and throwing was given by members of the two years, which de lighted the spectators, one excellent piece of fooling being when the New York men for several minutes played with an imaginary ball. Members of, the crowd contributed their share to the entertainment by pleading with the pitcher to kill the batsmen, and the way the umpire called the 'strikes' and 'balls' and delivered his decisions was a joy. Altogether it was an ex cellent game but, to English specta tors—it was not cricket. It cannot be said that the crowd showed any evi dence of thinking that baseball is ever likely to supersede our national game. "The sides batted in the following order (New York going in first), the places in the field of each man being given after his name: NEW YORK 1. Doulln (center field) 2. Magee (left field) 3. Lobert (third base) 4. Doyle (second base) 5. Markle (first base) 6. Doolan (shortstop) 7. Thorpe (right Held) 8. Wingo (catcher) 9. Faber (pitcher) CHICAGO 1. Weaver (shortstop) 2.

The Cardiff man, with a revival of the form displayed In the same ring five years ago when he humbled the then masterful Attell, shoved the Mexican back into the second rank with a twenty-round lacing so de cisively administered that the raising of the victor's arm by the referee was purely perfunctory.
