WISCONSIN TEAM IS IN JAPAN
Base bali VIII BE Played with Ma
tives in FIOwery Kingdom.

v ~ Min
MADISON, Wis., Aug. 2s.-The University
of Wisconsin base ball team left here re-
Gently for Japan, where it will play a series
of base ball games during the latter part
of next month with Kei-o University of
Toxic. The team is in charge OF DR..
Charles Mccarthy, the famous foot ball
coach and gridiron officer. who will act
as faculty representative. This is the long
est trip that an American college base
bail team has ever undertaken.
There is little feeling Of confidence
among the Wisconsin students as to the
outcome Of the games. Kei-o university
Is reported to have a strong team that
continually defeats teams made up Of men
from United States warships. Yet the fact
that Wisconsin has been selected by the
Japanese authorities as the team to make
the trip gives great pleasure here.
An interesting trip is what is expected.
There have been many Japanese students
at Wisconsin and many nave received
their DOCTORS degrees here. OF these Prof.
Reinsch is In correspondence with several
and he himself will go 10 japan this fall
TO study oriental politics. He has received
considerable information about the Kei-o
ball games and reports that the Wisconsin
team may expect to play before 100, 900 per-
sons at some of the games. This will prob
ably be something tina no college athletic
team OF any kind has ever done before.
Despite the fact that such large crowds
attend ball games over there, Kei-o uni
versity was able TO guarantee only the
actual expenses Of sixteen men. This Is
due 10 the fact that the price OF admission
is very small and with probably 100000
persons seeing the ten games that will be
played the authorities OF the university
expect to receive only from $3.50 to 5000.
The latter figure well just about cover the
Wisconsin teams expenses and $1,000 has
been advanced by the Wisconsin alumni.
