THE "LANGUAGE" DIFFICULTIES

THAT SEVENTH INNING STRETCH

London.

Pennuts and the good old seventh innig stretch are subjects which baffle British baseball fams in their efforts to learn the sport's primer.

These rites connected with Ameri ca's national pustime intrigue British sports writers who are brave enough to comment or base- ball.

The local season las opened with seven teams competing for the Lon- don championship. or cup as the British prefer to call the tengue.

race.

CRICKET CIRCLES DISTURBED

Cricket leagues, especially in the north, are disturbed about the in- roads which baschall may make against their traditional gentleman's Home. Even

ven mild protests against. baseball have been made by some cricket quarters. Certain authori- ties advocate o tightening up in the standard of play to withstand any competition from baseball, Renewed efforts

are being murde to insure brighter play in cricket matches.

One sports columnist in attempt- Ing to explain the seventh inning stretch wrote:

"Apparently, as soon us the op- posing alde has completed its seven- th innings, everybody in the crowd gets to his feet, stretches, turns Dround and sits down again. Same as walking around the chair to change one's luck at cards, I sup- posc."

Another writer commenting on the traditional stretch which was Instituted a number of years after baseball started in the 1830's stated: PEANUTS MYSTERY "This stretching business has been done over here.

"Some years ago when the Chicago White Sox played at Stamford Bridge in an exhibition

game, a large crowd, including the King, then Prince of Wales, and George Bernard Shaw heard and obeyed the exhortation to 'stretch' given by [n__white-clad_cheer leader in front

of the stand."

The practice of eating peanuts and the expression "What's a ball game without peanuts," is a mystery to the British fan.

Peanuts are used in this country to feed a certain specie of animals at the zoo

and therefore are called "monkey nuts."

Even peanut butler which fea new food introduced into the British kitchen during recent years is called mama "peanut spread."-United Press.
