• : . 'NOT A WINTER CAME. ' .The miserable;, weather on Saturday last made baseball practice impossible. ■The fact that several practice matches have been held during the present winter has given many the impression that if is intended "that the game is going to bo played here during the winter. Tln - 3 is, of epuree, wrong, and the person or persons who supplied the, Sydney papers with a statement that the game was to be played hero in the winter should have at first made some inquiries. "Pitcher" was conversing with two Rugby officials last week and one said that it was his intention to have the club 'he represented take up baseball during the slimmer months. This is not the only Rugby enthusiast who has expressed himself, in such a manner. The other Rugby official' who "Pitcher" spoke to was also a cricketer and'naturally 'enough ho turned the game of' baseball down. ','You can't get. tho ' grounds," said tho cricketer, but that remains to be seen. Providing the -weather is favourable, teams'representing Newtown and Central will meet at Miramar to-day. Both teams have been considerably strengthened, and Y.M.C.A. representatives will try conclusion with the winner of the match oh Saturday next. ;. i Mld-woek Practice at Duppa Street. Since , the. inauguration of the midweek practice: matches on the Duppa Street Park, the attendances have, been gradually increasing. Several Artillery men arc taking part in these practice matches, and Coachers Harrison and M'Clintock / will bo pleased to welcome i any mow recruit*. Y.M.C.A. Club. "Pitcher" is given to uuderstancl that H. Rogors, of the Y.M.C.A. Club, proposes to havo his team hard at work oach morning in the gymnasium room. Tho team is bound to develop some combination even in the gymnasium, and Rogers deserves every credit for his effort to initiate novices into the mysteries of the game. Congratulations. Letters of congratulation have been received by the local League's secretary from the Victorian League, and A. G. Spalding. Bros., of Sydney. Tho Victorians are', very pleased . that tho game is being established in New Zealand; If xhe Now South Walc3 Association does not accept the invitation of a "missionary tour to New Zealand, why not approach tho 'Victorian League? ' . ' Artillery Men Interested. . Members of the Permanent Artillery, stationed Wellington have become' interesteiT'in the.game and many havo expressed-'d desire to take if up. Major Hume hai, notified the secretary of tho local League that the necessary permission has" been granted for ' the or-ganisers-fa .deliver an address on baseball to thd""Artiller.v men.
