IN tho "Jijl shlmpo." n daily paper OF
Toxic. Ensign DodiridEc says this Is
The first year the Flaps" hnvr- played
hasc ball. They are very f1nd-of the
American national game which Is very
we'll suited to their build and ,tPmpera-
meis. One attempt was made to Intro
Jucr tho English game OF cricket, but
the "Japs" did not take kindly tn Il.
Here IR the way the "lIJl Shimp0" re-
potter tells his readers Of tho game:
eve have described IN our copy OF last
issue that the students OF High School
who won three times bcfon was defeated
hy the foreigner by the difference OF =
runs, It was the grcnt and pleasant
matri we can rarely seen, the number
OF spectators was very much Increased
than last match and that day being the
American Independence Holiday. md
many Of gentleman decorated With STAG
nccktIc watched the game w%lthGrcRt on
th,isIasm and was excited II they can not
win, they shall destroy ball or struck
bat aud won't play the ganr-lhe Ma
tlJnal Game my more.
"The score was very cloIc from start
to end aud mary fine pluyE male by both
PARTIES, At thu first inning American
rot ) while School has nonc but on the
second, school gut & and American has
10 run. The third l aud the fourth 3 by
school the Nth l In both parties nnd
on the sixth inning American got I and
none to school but In this time sehonl got
" runs more. The seventh aud eighth
no run by both parties and loft khe ninth
inning which was YER. important to both
PARTIES. In this time the spectators suE-
seSt the school will win no doubt and
somebody bet 800 to school.-Mr. Stone
the umpire looks very anxious and also
many foreign gentlemen shsked hand
and IS to school.
IN the middle OF ninth inning Amerl-
can got . out and o Il n aud number OF
running became same SO Is American
have one out then VI. School will become
batter and can GclpVne more runs, but
unfortunately the pitcher failed TO stop
the ground ball. and American got 2
runs in this moment. So that the school
players discouraged very much und An
!shsd game without having any run
when they became batter. Tho result OF
the game was American defeat School by
u 10 u uni.
THE both played very well but let US
criticize n little. At the second inning
when the school runners G9t full base,
the batter. SIR. Ihara. struck the ball
very we'll and had very good, innings. At
the third inning the ball of the pitcher.
Nr. Aoi. wns q little high and; gave the
benefit 20 the American party. At tho
fourth inning, Mr.. Morlwuld ran very
fast and clever to get to base. Up to
this inning the pitcher of the American
party thrown dead ball very often so
that at the beginning OF the fifth inning
the American changed pitcher who
threw very good bali and mude School
party very much frightenGd."1
