America's Cricketers.

The American cricket team which will cross the Atlantic next summer has been selected. There are a number of college men on the team, notably among whom are J. A. Scott and W. Scott of the University of Pennsylvania. Cricket has always been one of the most popular of athletic sports at the University of Pennsylvania, and that fact will account for Pennsylvania's large representation on the team. Cricket in the American colleges has been growing steadily in popularity for some years, and now there will be ample opportunity to compare the standard of excellence reached in America with that which has been attained in England, Scotland and Ireland. The make up of the team will probably be as follows: D. S. Newhall, captain; F. E. Brewster, J. A. Scott, W. Scott, W. Crockill, W. C. Morgan, H. I. Brown, G. S. Patterson, W. C. Lowry, A. G. Thomson, J. S. Sharp, N. Etting and D. P. Stoever.

The team will start on or about June 19, and the first match will be played on July 2 and 3 against Trinity College, Dublin.
