SAYS KEIOS ARE
IAPAN'S FASTEST

Reach sent with the club two beau
tiful silver cups. Manager Fisher an
nounced that one would be given to the
player making the first home run and
the second would go to the Japanese
club making the best showing against
his stars. Heitmuller was the lucky
dog. In the very first game he drove
the leather over the fence While the
other cup won't be disposed of until
the club is ready to sail for China, 1t
is dollars to cents that Keio draws the
trophy. Beyond little question it has
the fastest club in the realm. We have
other games with Keio, Waseda, and
have yet to play Yokohama, but the
former is big favorite in the contest
for the Reach cup.
After the opening game Count oku-
ma invited Reaeh's All-Ameriea Stars
to attend a very elaborate reception he
gave that day in honor of the compile
ton of the first Japanese encyclopedia,
which consists of seven large volumes.
The work was directed by him, which
took several years to accomplish. Thou
sands attended the reception, which
was given at his beautiful home just a
few blocks from Waseda University 1t
was more like a large garden party,
and such beautiful garden the play
ers visited. They had never seen any
thing like it before. A tiny brook
flowed lazily through the middle of the
grounds, and flower beds as only Jap
| anese can arrange them were every
where. Count Okuma gave theatrical
show from the stage built adjoining
his home, and there were geisha girls
| running everywhere. just as soon as
they spied Hildebrand' IS little son, the
mascot Of the club, they focked about
him and followed him wherever the
players went. The geisha girls fondled
his curls and patted his cheeks, BUT
made no effort to kiss him, like Ameri-
can girls would who like little children
japanese girls don't kiss. At one end
of the grounds Count Okuma prepared
large collation., of which the players
heartily partook. 1t was foreign food
which one sees everywhere in Japan
these days. We had beer, champagne
cider, tansan water, cold turkey and
fish, fruits, salad, sandwiches, olives
and such like. Count Okuma greeted
each player with a handshake, after
which he returned to the platform and
delivered an Grafton upon the historical
event which the day celebrated. The
reception committee escorted the base
ball players all over the delightful
grounds and were most courteous.

The sons from the land of the Rising
Sun got all they could take from the
Aalas. In the first inning, the Aalas
scored two, while the Nippons failed to
connect with the ball and the three
batters famed one after the other.
Zerbe was the first batter up and he
took the bench after flying out to Saka-
inc at third. Bailey bingled and went
to second on a wild pitch by Mich.
Macaulay found the cemetery by the
frstbase route. Walker was, safe on
an error of Junichi, while Bailey was
advanced to third. Luning wetted the
ball and Bailey and Walker romped.
The rest of the game was poorly
played. The Japanese scored three
runs in the fourth and fifth innings;
one in the seventh and three more in
the ninth, making the score sever in
all. The Aalas scored three in the
third, one in the fourth, another in the
seventh and four in the last half of the
eighth. This decided the game by g
score of II to 7.

Baggerlyisms

Mike Fisher can claim one honor at
least on this trip. He introduced
strike-t-u-h" to the japanese. In the
very first inning he pulled off Silk
o 'Loughlin stuff, and the Reaches
went after him for it. Give him credit,
he umpired a swell game. His decisions
on balls and strikes could not have
been better.
I Gibbs gave Mike Fisher a brief set
back before he had hardly touched
shore. The Asiatic League manager,
as he has been dubbed, began to whoop
things up for his club right away, and
before he had made any Roadway Gibbs
slipped him card bearing these printed
words: "Tie that bull outside.'' Of
course, Mike spurned the thought that
he would indulge in hot-air tactics.

Thus far the weather has been what
we are used to in California this time
of the year. 1t has bordered on the
verge of frosty, but the Japs tell us
that it may grow warmer any day. It
has not rained nor has the sun been
seen much. The players hope to hit
little hot weather before leaving, so
they can cut the ball loose. Thus far
they have been running under wraps,
fearing that they might injure them
selves for next year if they smoke the
ball along during this cold spell.
