POTUS at cricket - timmyj51 - 06-26-2017
"President Roosevelt is about to take up cricket...The sport offers
peculiar attraction to a man devoting the time and attention he does
to sports. For some time back he has studied over-hand bowling,
guarding the wickets and the Huntingdon Manor club, near the
Presidents home, will see his debut on the cricket field."
--Patriot (Harrisburg, PA) July 17, 1903, p.5

"The president [Roosevelt] was not such an easy convert. He had all the prejudices of the
typical American and thought cricket hardly strenuous enough for a man of his ideas. But
after he had chased leather for a couple of hours while [his sons] Archie and Teddy Jr. hit
the ball to all parts of the lot, he changed his mind and soon developed into an enthusiast."
--Pioneer Press (St.Paul, MN) Sept. 6, 1903, p.3

Cricket is not progressing in the USA, who are you kidding. Only ex-pat Asians care. It is basically nonexistent to an average American.
