JAPAN LIKES BASEBALL
National TO be Formed as Result of
Wisconsin University Visit

Toxic. Oct. 25.-The team of Wis
consin University baseball players
now visiting in Japan have created an
extremely favorable impression and
increased interest in the game here.
The attendance throughout the series
played upon the Kelo University
grounds has averaged between 5000
and 10000 persons. Wisconsin and
Kelo are fairly evenly matched and
the struggle has been nip and tuck
from start TO finish.
So keen has the interest in baseball
as played by the Wisconsins been
found to be that there is now talk of
the organization of a National Base
ball League in Japan, the establish
ment of grounds at Toxic, Osaka and
other places. and the playing of regu-
larry scheduled matches. with an in
crease in the number of international
games. The improvement of the
game throughout Japan is remarkable.
The Wisconsin men have been treat
ed with marked consideration by the
Japanese; they have been the guests
of Count Okuma at his beautiful place
at Waseda University where they
were entertained at luncheon. The
professor in charge and the senior
members of the team have been the
guests of Baron Goto, the Minister Of
Communications: p. A. Jay Nhe Amer
lean Charge d'Affaires, and others.

bookkeeper in bank. Soon after
their marriage the woman says,
Short was arrested for alleged mis-
appropriation of funds and served a
term in Sing Sing and she drifted to
the stage as a means Of earning a
livelihood.
Short recently was paroled from
prison, Mrs. Short said, and began
life anew. He importuned his wife
to return to him. but she declined,
and he followed her here and again
endeavored to persuade her to quit
the stage and return to New York
with him. She tried to elude her
husband but he entered the cab with
her and Miss Caldwell. When they
reached the station, Short made his
final entreaty and when he again
was rebuffed, the tragedy ensued,
Mrs Short fell at the first shot and
the man then stood over her and sent
two more bullets through her body.
Then without a moments hesitation
Short turned the revolver upon him
self and sent a bullet into his right
temple. He fell at the feet of his
unconscious wife.
