Jack Doyle had a collaboration yes.
terday afternoon. Up in the grand.
stand there were a couple of hundred
officers and cadets from the training
ship Taisei Maru and there was one
youth in a Sudan-eolored uniform
who acted as leader of the rooters.
He did not get wise to Jack Doyle
until the second inning. Then our
own grand yell meister stood up in
front of the bleachers and started a
Banzai chorus. Jack Junior in the
grandstand Immediately got busy and
waved and bowed with friendly ges-
lures towards the ,bleachers.
| About this time the Keios com
meneed to score and, with Jack Senior
on the bleachers and Jack Junior in
| the grandstand, there was, to say the
least something doing. Jack Doyle
waved large Japanese flag and start
ed an ear breaking banzai chorus; then
the sailors took in a long breath and
let it out to the tune of "Kay O-o-o.o,
Kay O-o-o," with banging of their
| feet on the floor. From both sides n
mighty wave of sound swept across
the field and from curly haired Sa-
saki to cute little Ohashi, the Comedy
Kid, the Japs rose to the call of their
friends and played as they had never
played before.
1t was grand afternoon from a
fans point of view. In spite of the
southerly wind and the lassitude in
the air, there never was brighter nor
more sparkling game anywhere. AS
Frank Thompson said "This is base
ball, real baseball,' and it was real
baseball from the spry work of the
fielders, the sure hitting of the batters
and the grand roofing on the bleaclf
ers and grandstand.
1t looked very much like n dip from
the whitewash bucket until the eighth
when the Puns managed to score one.
There should have been another score
in the seventh but Lyman overrated
his sprnting powers and tried to steal
home with no men out and nobody on
second IL he had waited his. time
there is little doubt that he would have
scored for John Williams whose place
he had taken.
Sam Chillingworth was selected as
umpire and he did well. He has an
excellent voice for the job and one can
hear distinctly whether it is a ball
or strike, which is a very good point.
His decisions were all fair and his ball
calling was good too, although he did
pass few that looked mighty low from
the scorers table But, taking it all
round Sam "done noble' and the
fans will welcome his next appearance
in the same position.
Johnny Williams pitched a nice game.
He walked only one man and famed

same He opened new box of curves
and the little brown players found him
only three times twice in the second
when they scored and once in the sixth.
Murakami filed the box for the Ke-
los and Kukuda caught for him. 1t
was a good combination and, while the
Puns knocked out seven hits with three
two baggers, Fukuda was too lively
in returns to let them get home more
than once.
Hampton opened the game with a
qreat double Dagger swat to center
field. Then Lyman singled and the
game looked as though it would be a
swatfest, but Kia was out at first
Bruins sllied to Sasaki and the little
shortstop came through with a grand
throw to home that enabled Fukuda
to put Hampton out at the plate.
The second opened with some quick
and snappy play. Williams was out al
first, Hogs did the same thing as ais,
Marcallino Then the Keios came in, ani
lack Doyle and Jack Junior inaugu
, -ated their magnificent series of wire
less roofing.
Both KanSi and Koyama were out
at first and there seemed little chanc,
for a score but Fukuda was safe OF
| Henderson s error and went to secont
on a passed ball. Then Murakami sin
| gled and Fukuda reached third. Mu
Iakami saw a chance for a clever play
/ and started to steal second. Hampton
) got the ball but, while Murakami wa
lodging him, he got word from thirC
. and was obliged to send there tt
prevent Fukuda from scoring. This en-
} abled Murakami to reach second il
/ safety and this was really the play
t that won the game, for it put Mura

. Higo came up and singled at tn,
right time and both Fukuda and Mura
$ kam ran home. Then Higo made {
. beautiful steal to second and the Tai
