Text | "Base Ball in England--Our national game, we are glad to learn, has taken a start in England, some American students at one of the schools having introduced it as one of their pastimes. That it will ultimately be played in England, we have no doubt, the short time it requires being a principle recommendation, especially in view of the fact that, now that such large scores are being made in leading cricket matches, the length of such contests has become tediously objectionable. Mr. Chadwick has recently received an order from the noted publishing house of Routledge & Sons to write them a book on base ball for the English market, and that firm will issue one in London in July next." |
