Oriental society was out in force. Jap
anese women in Partisan gowns gazed
haughtfE at Chinese maidens, who in
turn smiled superciliously Japanese
escorts glared at Chinese dandies and
Chinese schoolboys made faces at their
| Japanese fellows. Altogether the
gathering was fossy in the extreme.
SIT ON CHINESE NECks
| The trouble started when the Jap
anese began winning the game. The
| honorable players of the Land Of the
| Rising Sun. led by the valiant Captain
| Iada, proceeded to sit most cruelty
upon the necks of their oriental breth-
ren. The game was the old fashioned
one wherein bucking the lineSis a main

| Japanese rooters let out a cyclone of
vocabulary which ripped through the
atmosphere and struck dumb the Chi
nese aggregation. Encouraged by their
success the Fujis wiped the ground
| still more emphatically with their
rivals and scored again.
This was too much. The rooters-
! most of them native sons-allowed
their Chinese and japanese yells to
be lost and devoted themselves to yell
! ing in English at. each other and in a
manner somewhat pointed. When the
game was finished came the problem:
Who owned the ball?
! The Japanese claimed ownership: so
did the Chinese. Likewise the latter
/ had possession of it and at the con-
clusion of the game proceeded to take
| 1t with them.
'Hip' spoke the Honorable the Can

grunted twice in anger and rushed for
ward like bull in spring 1t was his
intention to jiu jitsu his opponent into
the central emergency hospital, but
something hit him. The honorable Iada
maintained 1t was the nub end of
piece of gaspipe. Chinese onlookers
claim it was nothing more than bunch
of knuckles waved through the air in

Whatever it was, it hit Iadas and the
honorable captain curled up. and played

Then broke the storm, Chinese and
| Japanese spectators left the grandstand
family spilled in the three languages
and heads walloped.

chin against the fist of one of the Chi

body and possibly internal injuries.
! Apart from these incidents there were
| black eyes galore, and many were the
| shins which were kicked.
| In the midst of the excitement some
white spectator, cheering both Japanese
rand Chinese to the fray, jumped into
the arena and, drawing a revolver, fred
| into the air six times. The police hur-
| ried to the scene in squads, the Chinese
| eliminated themselves from the scenery
and the Japanese, who were outnunl-
bered by far. sought police protection.
After it was all over, the dust settled
and the black eyes were turning to
blue, the Japanese gave out the fol-
lowing manifesto:
The Chinese are a gang of hood
lums, thugs and highbinders. We sever
l.all social and friendly relations with
them
| The Chinese said. and in the saving
smiled. The scrappy little Jappy is
| not feeling very happy. Yes?'
| The war is on.
