' BASEBALL FOLLOWS FLAG.
, The sailors of our fleet now visiting Australia are said
to have been impressed with the progress of civilization
'in that region in every respect but one: dense ignorance
1 revails, or has prevailed until now, regarding the game
of games, baseball. It has lemained for our gallant sea
men to carry light into the dark places of the island con
tinent . The first shock came when our bluejackets, looking
over the Australian newspapers, failed to find any base
ball "dope" on the sporting p.'gcs. They had hardly ex
pected !kx scores, but they d d suppose there would be at
I'Sst some mention of Die nu nr n'ous contests being waged
back home. So they ai point d a committee to visit the
newspaper offices and gie an emphatic hint. The woid
to' the wise was sufficient and the Australian papeis
promptly cabled to this country for the important news.
, ' The next step in this campaign of education of jv
AilstraTI; n cousins wjs Tialu'ra'ly lo' 'furni's'i a pracuc'ii
d monstra:io;i. So some g,.mes of baseb.Jl were staged,
to; the evct-eding wondemmnt of the natives. It is not
reported whether many converts weie made, but we must
give the natives time. Thanks to visits of American ves
sels, it is said thr t I, i seb !' is now quite gene'aly played
i" Jap n. as it is in the Philippines. Southward the course
of civilization takes iU way. Some day perhaps we shall
