ST. LOUIS BOYS
FOR JAPAN TOUR

The proposition 10 make a trip to
Japan and play exhibition games with
baseball mines in the principal cities
of that country has been offered to
the ST. Louis baseball team, and it
seems quite likely that an agreement
will be reached through which it may
be carried out in the near future. AS
yet there has been no definite PROPOSE
ton made to the local men, but letters
Will leave today on the Nippon Maru
which are expected to bring a cable
message in return. stating exactly
what the japanese promoters will
offer.
The matter has come up through the
inability of the baseball team of STAN
ford University 10 make the trip, and
a good substitute for the Cardinal
nine is being looked for. A young COL
lege man from Japan has seen the
work Of the st. Louis team here and
believes that they could put up game
which would be very satisfactory to

was particularly impressed with the
work of the St. Louis team when they
walked away from the ball team of the
Wisconsin, the battIeship which was
in port early in the season. The sailor
boys had trimmed all the ball teams
in Japan but were easy marks for the
local men.
The college man mentioned has been
commissioned TO look up the matter
in Japan and will cable back to the
local men what proposition will be
offered. The idea seems to be that the
Japanese promoters will offer to guar
,antee the fare from here TO Japan and
the expense of the team while in that
country, and will also offer a certain
per cent. of the gate receipts to the
Honolulu boys for the payment of their
return trip.
The plan seems to be to leave here
during the latter part of September,
which would conflict with the plans
for bringing a team down here from
the Coast. The local men viii then
have their choice. whether they will
stay here and try to defeat the best
team which can be found on the Coast,
or seek new worlds to conquer and
make a raid on Japan in the mimic
warfare of baseball.

RUFF TURNER is DEFEATED

SAN DIEGO, August 1.-Two thou
sand fight fans, the largest crowd in
the history of the sport in this city.
saw gruelling match of eleven rounds
in the Jack Clifford-Rufe Turner bout
here tonight. The fight was Of the
biff-bang variety throughout, Clifford
having the best OF it in nearly every
round. In the eleven rounds of fight
ing Turner was knocked down five
times. He was up promptly each time,
however, coming right back for more
At the close of the eleventh round
Clifford planted a hard right swing
on Turner's jaw. The old-timer went
down like a log, and would have been
counted out but for the gong. His sec
onds dragged him to his corner and
had him ready for the opening of the
twelfth round. When he stepped to
the center and put up his hands, he
discovered that his jaw had been brok-
en-, and told his seconds that he could
not go on. The club physician was
called and, after an examination, stop
ped the fight, announcing that Turner's
jawbone had been broken.

AWFUL DAY ON
HILO DIAMOND

HIL0, August 19.-It would have
been great day for the ambulance in
Hilo yesterday, had there been one.
But as there is only a hurry-up wagon
there was some hesitation in calling it
into action for the halt and the maim-
ed on the baseball field. The game was
a play-off between the Hilos and the
H. A. Co.'S, 4 protest having been en-
tered by. and decided IN favor of, the
latter, who were defeated by the Hilos
few weeks ago.
Yesterdays score stood as follows:
II. A. G.'s-Two men badly spiked;
two fingers mashed and put out of ser
vice; one ear cut and badly bruised;
one pitcher in. bed today; one printer
got it in the ear and knocked almost
senseless, who will play with his side
stick in future.
Hllos-One man badly spiked, and a
few minor mishaps that are not worth
mentioning.
This leaves the championship of the
league to be fought out between the
Mooheaus and Hilos, and the directors
of the league will meet TO decide
whether it shall be two out of three
games, or finished in one game.
Merely as matter of record, and
incidental to the scores already given,
it may be as well 20 mention that the
Hilos yesterday got % runs, and the
H. A C.'s 10 runs 1t was a great
game.

FOR STANF ORD

Among the passengers on board the
Aorangi which came in yesterday af-
ternoon and left early this morning,
were G. Presley and I. flanagan, both
football men of Stanford University.
They were sent to Australia and New,
Zealand by the University Athletic
Association to pick up ideas in regard,

taken up by the California colleges I'M
the past two years.
The game Is virtually unknown in
the United States and there are few
men in California who have seen fiist4

they could pick up. In speaking Of
the trip yesterday Mr.. Presley said:
We saw some of the finest teams in
the world play Rugby while we were
away. AIMING these was the famous
team of New Zealand. the All-Blacks,
who made a trip to England and de-
feated everything in sight, two years
ago. Those men know how to play
football. We were sent down to get

TRIP To JAPAN
SEEMS CERTAIN

1t seems practically certain that
baseball team, composed largely of
members of the st. Louis aggregation,
will go to Japan this fall to take
part in games against the fastest teams
in the Island Empire. The details OF
the plan are to be arranged by Count
X. Inouye who passed through here on
the Nippon Maru yesterday. Mr.. Ino-
uye holds among other positions that
of director of the Togo Kisen Kaisha
and will make all the arrangements for
transportation through that company
himself. He stated yesterday, as he
was ABOUT to leave, that as soon as
he had settled the business which he
had on hand, which, as stated in yes
terday mornings Advertiser, is a COM
bination of the Armstrong-Viekers com
panies with a Japanese concern, he
would look into the baseball matter.
He is a graduate of Keio University,
which has, simply through baseball,
become an extreme rival of the WaseGa
University. Inouye wishes to see q
team 1IOlu lutSt ASiunuS Su W japan
and clean up the ball players of the
Waseda University He states that he
will guarantee all the expenses of the
trip and that there will be no diff
Guilty whatever in arranging the mat
ter The ball games in Toxic attract
as many as $4,000 people who pay
twenty-five cents American money for
admission. The expenses of the trip
are expected to amount to about $4,000.
In regard to the makeup of the team
there seems to be a desire on the part
of the local japanese to have the Ha-
waiian nine composed partly of Ha-
waiian-born japanese. This PROPOSE
ton would cause more or less friction,
as there are no Japanese PLAYERS in
the city who would be eligible, through
fast playing, to leave here on an ex'
hibition tour. The strongest team which
can be found here would be the one
to be sent, regardless of nationality.
The members of the st. Louis team
are enthusiastic over the proposition
and almost to a man are anxious to
go. There will be many offers from
all the best players in the league to
fill in the team in case there are any
vacancies. 1t is expected that fourteen
men will make the trip.

FAST PLAY SEEN
IN SEMI-FINALS

Two good matches of tennis werd
seen yesterday afternoon at the BereL
tania Tennis Clubs courts in the semi-
finals of the championship tournament
for mems doubles. In the first match.
in which Castle and Cooke defeated
Brock and Williamson by a score Of

through and particularly in the last
set. The first set had been rather easy

of the second set. when Brock and
Williamson suddenly took. a brace.
They began to play real tennis and
ran the score to So They were
within a point OF winning another

In the second match steady hard
tennis was seen. Bockus and Grey were
always alert and took advantage of
the mistakes made by their opponents.

be judged impossible under ordinary

.SQUIRES TO
FIGHT AGAIN

Bill Squires, the Australian champion,
is back from the wilds of Humboldt
and has taken up his quarters again
at Billy Shannon s condition camp near
San Rafael.
Squires was visited by Jack MeNa-1
mara of Tom IS Cabin. Mcnamara is
an intimate friend of Bookmaker Jack
Wren, who sent Squires to this coun-
try, and also of Barney Reynolds, who
came here with Squires. Mcnamara
had quite a talk with the Antipodean
heavyweight, and as a result Squires
has decided to enter the ring again
and endeavor to show San Francisco
fight patrons that he is not as poor a
performer as his showing with Tom
my Burns would suggest.
Since his quick defeat by Burns.
Squires hasn't been suIking in his tent
exactly, but he has displayed an in
clination to avoid his newly made
friends on this side of the Pacific. 1t
is one thing to leave your native land
with the best of the experts there pro-
nouncing you world-beater in your
line and something entirely different to
run against defeat in the first half
minute of the first fight you engage in
away from home
1t was the disgust engendered by the
sudden dashing of his hopes that caused
Squires to hike away to Humboldt and
bury himself in a lumber camp. He
might have been there yet, only that
fog is prevalent in Humboldt just at
present, and if there is anything
.. Boshter Bill' detests it is the chill
white mist that sweeps in from the
sea.
Bill is a warm weather fend, and
so far the climate of San Rafael is the
best he has happened on in this part
of the world.
When Squires learned that the sports
of San Francisco considered it but fair
that he should be given a chance to
redeem himself he sat up and began
to take notice of Mcnamara g con-
versation. He agreed to box any
heavyweight selected by Jim Coffroth
sion street arena closes. Coffroth says
he will look around for a suitable OPP
ponent for Squires, and viii arrange
the match for some afternoon late in
September or early in October.
1t IS probable that the winner of
the Sehreck- Kaufman contest will be
given the chance to box Squires. The
Australian says he is not particular
who be meets. He simply wants to
prove that he is not the ''duffer" that
an unkind fate has SO far made him
out to be-. uzn

OPENING OF
WINTER LEAGUE

The time for the opening of the VIM
ter League is nearly at hand and there
will be more excitement in these games
than there ever has been in the past.
While the matter has not yet been de-
cided it is practically certain that there
will be new rules for the league this
year The most important change will
be in connection with the players from
the big league. According to the rule
in the past no players who took part
in the Honolulu Baseball League
games could play on the Winter
League teams. In this way new
set of players was called on and a
number of promising youngsters were
brought out.
The plan this year is to allow two
players of the big league to each team
This will mean that the teams will be
stronger than they have been in the
past and that the younger players will
have the benefit of older and more ex-
perienced men to help them in their
work The ball players seemed to wish
to see this change made and will put
it through at the first meeting which
will be called in the near. future by
Charlie Falk
The Metropolitans, who made such a
good showing last year, will be re-
placed, in all probability, by the st.
Louis Alumni Jr. team Two new
teams, to be known as the All-Port-
ugese and the All-Chinese. will be or
ganized. The Alohas. of the past two
seasons, will become the Kamehame-
has. from the present outlook, and the
Diamond Heads will make the fifth
team. 4He sfzElTA ~
