in Honolulu. The Japan Gazette Of
July 20 tells of Woods press work in
Japan in behalf of the All-American
baseball team which will play in No.

follows:
At the recreation grounds yesterday
afternoon, the Yokohama baseball
players were indulging in their Gus,
tomary ancient practise of batting In
one, two, three order to the three bases.
and then to the out-felders. Upon the
side lines, a stranger to most of the
players, was watching this practise
with an amused expression on his face.
The well-ouilt athletic figure, slight
ly above six feet, showed that this
stranger had undoubtedly been an attn
lete in his time, and perhaps knew
baseball as WELL
Capt Becker in one of the intervals
of rest, noting this spectator S atten-
ton asked if he was interested in this
game. "What game are you playing?'
was the answer to this remark. sob,
this is the great American game of
baseball, - said Capt Becker. 1T may
have been the baseball that the vii
layers played in Rip Van Wrinkle s
time, but they do not play that way
nowadays. If you will allow me, I
will show you how the game should
be played.
FThe following method is the answer
to a batsman who is about to bunt the
ball. The thirdbase man advances halt
down the line to the home plate. Sec
ondbase covers frstbase; who advances
on the base line parallel with the pitcn-
er, while if necessary the shortstop win
cover secondbase.
"Another point is this, we will mag,
inc a man on thirdbase; the bats
man signals to the runner he will
bunt the next ball, so the man on third
can score. The answer to this is, for
the pitcher to deliver a high head ball
to the batsman, which prevents the
bunt being made, as the batsman must
duck his head to avoid being hit, ana
the catcher receives the ball high
enough to prevent the steal in home.
" Another play is when frstbase is
filed: Two strikes and three balls are
called on the batsman. The next move
the pitcher makes to deliver the ball,
the man on first starts running not only
to steal second but thirdbase as well,
since all the attention of the infield
will be on the batsman.

Joe Cans and Nelson again, Ell? Will
the colored boy do the Methuselah- back
to-youth-again stunt or is ne all in? His
followers state that he was not in the
best of condition when Bat put him
out on July 4. That may be and we
may see another resurrection. At any
rate it is true that everybody shook
their heads when Boer Unholz put it all
over the Dane in Los Angeles and said
that Bat was all in. That he was not
all in was clearly shown by his coming
back and doing something that the Boer
circus tumbler could not do if Cans
were drugged.
We notice that very little has been
heard from Hilo on the subject of the
Santa Claras trip to the volcano. This
is a sure sign that the people of the
island of Hawaii felt that they were
in the wrong and regretted the stingy
policy of the baseball management.
They will, of course, welcome the Kelos
with open arms for the little men will
stay there long enough to play regu-

of the island will pour much gold into
the gaping Golfers of the baseball
league. Well, that's the way it goes.
If the world were populated by none
but sportsmen we never would have
any trouble.
Speaking of the local teams and the
game they will put up after the visit

very eneouragingly. He said, ''DOn t

is possible to make them. Brass bands
will be in attendance at the games.
The first ball pitched on the grounds
will be of silver, suitably engraved,
marking the first arrival of an Ameri-
can team in Japan.
Prizes will be presented to the team
making the best record against the
American team, and also to individuals
whose batting warrants it.
Great benefits from this visit in edu-
eating the Japanese in baseball will
accrue. as not only will it make them
skillful in the game, but cause them
to learn English as well.
1t is understood that the Profession
ais will coach, after the games, any
japanese players who wish to learn
more particularly about the finer points
of the game.

Japan should know to whom they owe
this opportunity of seeing baseball as
il is now played in America. We pub

Lawrence Woods, to whose untiring
energy and personal attention to de-
tails, success should be granted, as he
does not seek its rewards but deserves

Advertising Vermont.

The Hays Advertising agency OF Bur-
lington has secured an appropriation of
several thousand dollars from the Central
Vermont Railway company for advertise
ing the Summer Homes book issued by
that company and the advantages OF Yer
mont as summer resort.
This advertising will go to the big
newspapers OF New York, Boston, PhiIa-
delphia, Baltimore and other Eastern
cities, besides a large list of magazines
and periodicals of national importance.
1t is reasonably expected this advertis-
ing will bring to Vermont this year a
greater number of summer visitors than
ever before, all of which will result in
much benefit to the people of the state in
general.
Just at present the Central Vermont
railway company is entitled to about all
the credit for bringing the grand re-
sources Of Vermont as q summer resort
before the outside world, and it is doing
this work with marked results.
Suppose some work of this kind were
taken up jointly by the legislature and
the people in general? The result would
certainly reach far beyond the highest ex-
pectations of all who believe in . greater
and more prosperous Vermont.
