PASADENA RECEIVES
VISITING OFFICERS
Business Men and Board of Trade
Members Entertain Japanese at
Luncheon, Followed by
Drive About City

PASADENA, April 27-Forty- five
officers of the Japanese cruisers Aso
and Soya, now lying in San Pedro
bay, were the guests today of the city
of Pasadena, and were entertained by
the city's business men and members
of the board of trade. These men in
their uniforms and $50 of the repre-
sentative men Of the city in multi sat
down together at an informal noon
luncheon given at the Hotel Maryland
the places OF honor being reserved for
Admiral Ijichi and Captains Iuchi and
Sato, together with. Consul General
Nogai from San Francisco. Lieutenant
Commander Olmstead and Lieutenant
Woodbine of the United States navy,
Willis Booth, president of the Los An
geles chamber of commerce, and Gen
eral Prescott of the Los Angeles enter
tainment committee also were among
the guests at the head of the table
The POSTMASTER was President Z. T.
Off of the board Of trade, who intro
duced Mayor Farley The mayor well
coined the officers to the city and Cali
fornia in a brief but enthusiastic
speech. He complimented the Japanese
on the strides their nation has made
in the past fifty years, and, declaring
that they, like ourselves were a peace
loving nation, hoped that the two
would always unite in any movement
which would tend to increase the peace
of the nations. In closing he thanked
them as representatives of their nation
for the welcome given the men and
officers of the battleship fleet which
visited their shores in the trip around
the world. President John Willis Baer
of Occidental college, at one dramatic
moment in his speech of welcome,
aroused the visitors by waving crossed
japanese and American flags as he
spoke of the fact that the jingoes of
both countries had been proven wrong
and the sensible folk right in the anti
Japanese agitation, which, he said,
was the work of not more than fifty
men. Consul General Nogai spoke
briefly in a humorous vein, and was
followed by Admiral Ijichi, who deliv-
cred his response to the welcome in
Japanese, which was later translated
by the consul general. The friendly
relations of the two countries and the
great liking the japanese had for the
memory of their first American visitor,
Commodore Sperry, were the main
topics of the address.
Following the presentation of a set
of resolutions by the board of trade,
the Pasadena men rose as their guests
filed out to the automobiles which were
waiting to take them about the city.
The Japanese officers present were:
Vice-Admiral Ijichi, commander-in-
chief; Captain Iuchi of the flagship
Aso; Captain Sato Of the cruiser Soya:

Charley Dexter, a once grand old
ball player who knows more than most
of the Western league players have
forgotten, has left Des Moines and it is
said that he will join the Minneapolis
team. Can this mean that our old
Warren Gill is to be cast on the scrap
pile. Dexter was formerly manager of
the Des Moines team, when Mike Can
tillon had active charge. Two pennants
came to Des Moines in those days.

noticeable things of the Sioux City
playing was the perfect set OF signals
they use. 1t was evident that they were
very proficient at the signaling end of

pitcher worked in tying men to the
bases after catching them out. He
never betrayed which way he was go
ing to throw the ball, but from the
signals he knew just which man he was
going to try for.
Pueblo ought to be strengthened by
the addition of Outfelder Curtis. of
