ENJOYABLE TRIP.

!
The following brief account of the
trip OF the St Louis nine was sent
by one of the boys to the Advertiser
last night:
Left Honolulu On Siberia. Treated
well on board. Had pleasant trip.
Picture OF 81. Louis team taken on
board Siberia by an editor of the
board.
Team met by Keio students and
members Of the press. Gave US three
cheers when we landed. We then pro-
ceeded to Toxic and were given quar-.
tiers at the university. The univer-
sity officials treated the st. Louis boys
fine: had the best Of everything.
Visited the baseball grounds. Skin
grounds. Hard to play on it; got to
catch grounders sideways. Keio Uni
yersity baseball team field and bunt
better than any team in Honolulu. but
lack in batting. Their team work is
perfect. First game on October 81. St
Louis VS.. Keio University. Keio won
to 3 in a thirteen-inning game
On the 3rd of November (Emperor's
birthday we visited the military re-
view Of about 10000 soldiers II was /
a grand affair. In the afternoon II
rained and the baseball game had 10 l
be postponed. 1t rained for three days i,
straight and II took about a week be-
fore the grounds could be used. so
our trip horne to Honolulu had to be
postponed a week later.
At 10 a. m on the day the game is
to take place the grounds are packed
with people waiting for the game TO
start at p. m. They even take their
lunch along with them. The japanese
applaud a good play, and once in a
while the students will give the St
Louis a college yell and then for the
Keio University also; otherwise there
is peace during the whole game. En-
Sus is the favorite in all Japan After
each game the japanese students get
4 hold of him and throw him up in
the air and veil '.Banzai." IF we are
invited anywhere. they would tell US
not to come unless En- Sue was along.
