Japanese Baseball Team Coming
to United States.
To Test Strength With College
Mines This Summer.
MERRIFIELD is COACH.
Chicago University Player Look
ing After the Mikados.
Waseda Institution Faculty
Fayors the Proposed Trip.

Chicago March 17.-Not satisfied with
huInbling their Caucasian brothers on
the battlefield, the japanese are plan
ming to contest with the American col
lege teams in baseball. The Waseda
university team of Tokyo, Japan, will
visit the United States this summer in
order to test it's strength at the great
American game with the leading college
mines of this country.
Fred Nerrifeld, captain of the Univer-
sity of Chicago baseball team of 1899,
is coaching the Waseda team, which he
believes will be able to give a good ac-
count of itself when it meets the Amer
lean teams. Merrifield is employed as
professor of English and ethics at the
Duncan academy at Tokyo and is
spending his leisure moments instruct
ing the little yellow men in the arts
and tricks of baseball as played on this
side of the Pacific.
In a letter to a friend at the Universe
ty of Chicago, Merrifield described the
baseball situation in Japan as follows;
while baseball is not a new game in
Japan, the men are ignorant of the
most essential features Of the game
The1r principal fault at first was the
lack of training rules. The pitchers es-
pecially We're lax in their habits, but
the ball players are now adopting the
American training system and their
game IS improving greatly
The faculty of Waseda university is
very anxious to have the team come to
America and is willing to provide ex-
penses for the long trip
The Jap team will arrive in America
about June 1, and will spend several
weeks in this country
Games are now being arranged with
the college teams of the Pacific coast re-
gion- Games may be scheduled with
the middle western teams in addition.
Coach Merrifield will not accompany
his team to this country, but will con-
tinue to instruct the players up to the
time of their denarfura

Kendall, a genial salesman for hard

Urged by several of his commercial
friends yesterday he was persuaded to
practice his game on Mcpherson peo-

perfection. In several cases he would
enter store and a moment later the
proprietor would hear his name called
