BASEBALL.
Strenuous efforts are to be made in Melbourne and Sydney to establish baseball as the winter game instead of football. It ib a great point with baseball that there is so much running in it that it can be played in the coldest weather we get in the colonies. As football has no great hold of tho public in Australia, these efforts may meet with success. An enthusiast from Yankeeland has been trying to incrcduce the game to tho Brisbane athletes, buc somehow they don'b take kindly to the national gamo of Ameiica in Ban an aland. Even Harry Boyle has become a convert, to baseball ! "Boyloy" made top score (five runs) for Victotia 8.C., v. HicksSawyers Minstrels, who only scored 13 runs to their opponents' 25. The Victorian team wns composed pretty oxtensively of cricketers, Boyle, Houston, Burton, Lewis, Musgrove and Ford being among the number. — "Sydney Sporting Life."
