JAP BASEBALL TEAM
ROUNDING INTO FORM
Little Brown Men Perform Like Big
Deaguers After a Few Days
Practice,

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April
25.-The japanese team of ball toss
ers from Waseda University, who will
play Stanford's varsity nine next Sat
urday, seem to have entirely recov-
cred from the effects of their long
trip and have got down TO scientific
ball-playing. When the much herald
ed team Of brown men first arrived
on the cardinal grounds the crowd of
student fans were disappointed at
their showing. Errors were frequent
and throws were wild. But all this
seems TO have been the natural result
of the long sea trip, for now the Jap
fielders are scurrying over the ground
making the most sensational kinds of
stops and throws. They begin the
daily practice at noon and work until
3 o'clock in the afternoon, going
through both batting and fielding
work.
A. Kono, the diminutive Jap pitcher.
is a source of continual wonder TO the
Stanford players. II seems strange
that a man with an arm that meas
ures only twenty-four inches in
length could attain great speed, but
KOno has accomplished this. He has
a shoulder ball that is likely to puzzle
the cardinal batsmen. Kono throws
curves, taught him by an American
graduate who is a professor in Japan.
The little brown men can hit
straight balls. Straight balls are all
that have been thrown at them so far,
and 1t is impossible to tell what they
VIII be able TO do against the decep-
tive curves. Shisheuchi, the right
fielder, is the premier hitter of the
team. At practice this morning he
got fourteen hits out of twenty balls
that were thrown at him, and the
felders robbed him several times AT
that. The rest of the team connect
sQuarely, sending liners just over the
heads Of the infielders.
The Japs will meet the cardinal nine
IN second game at Recreation Park,
San Francisco, on Mayday.

Tigers Bunch Their Hits
When They Count
Most.
Not a Giant Reaches
Third Till the Last
Round.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORTLAND, Ore, April 25.-The
Giants were taken into camp to-day
by the Tigers to the tune of 6 to O..
Thomas and Garvin both pitched good
ball, but the punching of hits on the
giant twirler in two innings did the
business. What hitting there was was
hard and clean and gave joy to those
who enjoy seeing the leather clouted.
Till the fifth inning Garvin was as
much Of a mystery to the Tigers as
Thomas was to the Giants. With Gra-
ham away via. the Murphy route,
Thomas hit for two bases, Doyle flew
out to Van Buren and Garvin struck
out Sheehan, but Klopf refused to see
these wide out curves and he walked
the latter. Nordyke's single helped a
little, but when Truck" Eagan hit
for two stations there was a general
clean up and three runs were regis
tered. Out of the thirty men who faced
Thomas, only one reached third base
and this did not happen until the
ninth inning. Up to this time not a
Giant had got farther along than the
initial sack
Bert Jones took Garvin's place at
bat in the ninth. Thomas fioated in a
slow one that Jones hit on the nose
for two bags. Murphy was already
down. Van Buren went out to Eagan,
McCreedie made his first hit in %
times at bat and Jones went to third,
where he died when Schlaf1y few out
to center. The score:

Oakland played as ragged game OF

reel without the aid Of hits. After
that it was nothing but a procession

Graham was wild and did not seem
20 care whether the Seals made hun
dred runs or one. He filled up the
bases in the third and then forced a
run by walking Irwin. A bunch Of err
rcrs followed and two runs were the
result, and so a promising looking
game was spoiled on the spot. Wheeler

assumed such a good lead.

both in. DunleaVy was up next and
he ended the game with fly to right

When the game was lost in the sew
enth inning Van Haltren took Graham
Oft the slab and substituted Hogan, his
young bush league pitcher. The kid
was hit pretty hard in the ninth
spasm, but the runs were not so much
his fault as that of the fielders, who
failed TO back him UP. The youngster
has a nice, easy delivery and looks
like the making of a good pitcher.
