MANY CHERRY TREES
SHIPPED BY MIKADO
JAPAN SENDS U. S. OVER 1000
FINE SPECIMENS
Many SapIlngs from Orient VIII Be
Planted Along Potomac and Rlv.
erside Driveways - Mrs.
Taft Recipient

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-When the
honorary commercial commissioners Of
Japan arrives in Washington, Novem-
ber 1, they will be taken on an auto
mobile ride which will include Poto-
mac drive, along which 1000 cherry
trees to be presented to this country
by the emperor of Japan are to be
planted.
The shipment of the trees and the
planting thereof have been entrusted
to Torakiro Watase, proprietor of
Toxic plant and seed company, who
is one Of the commissioners.
Speaking of the gift of the emperor
to the city of Washington, Mr.. Watase
said the trees would be sent to Mrs.
Taft, wife of the president, and by
her presented to the government for
transplanting along Potomac drive.
Former President Roosevelt and
President Taft are chiefly responsible
for the improvement of the Potomac
river front, and it was Mrs. Taft who
gave the name Potomac park to that
section Of the city She made popular
the afternoon promenades on the drive,
which were a feature last year of
summer life in the capital.
New York Remembered
The emperor of Japan is sending to
New York also large number of
cherry trees to be planted along River
side drive and Grants tomb.
In Japan, the land of the cherry
blossom there are many beautiful
legends about the trees and flower of
the cherry.
The blossom of the Japanese cherry
is of a peculiarly delicate beauty, and
there is a tradition in Japan that if
that same tone appears in the bios
SONS of the Japanese cherry planted
in another country, that country can
be taken and subjugated by Japan.
Mr.. Watase is authority for the
statement that while many Japanese
cherry trees have been brought to the
United States, the color of the bios
SONS, although just as beautiful is
unlike the blossom which appears in
Japan.

The winning of the game from the
Lincoln Green Bugs, after the visitors
had taken the lead and were getting
away for inning after inning, only
with the baseball populace. And the
victory, what a grand one 1t was. 1t
wasn't the kind an opponent could say
was not earned by the locals. Lincoln
did not give it away on errors, the UNI
pire did not steal it from the visiting
club, but the locals merely went in
and earned a clean cut victory, doing
the work with perfect fielding and the
clouting of the ball at opportune times.
From the time the Topeka team ar
rived on the field for practice the crowds
were rampant. Every movement OF the
Topeka baseball crew was loudly cheer
ed, and 1t was one imposing spectacle
to see Dick Cooley's peerless ones
scamper out on the field clad in gar
1nents of snowy white, looking fit to
battle for first blood in the opening of
the Western Leagues greatest season.
Governor Stubs Makes Good.
AS it grew time for the game to be
called, Governor Walter Roscoe Stubs,
the first pitcher of the afternoon, ap-
reared in citizens regalia. Stubs af
ter warming up had to wait few mo-
Inents while McAIanus showed the
mayor the method of putting on the
glove on the wrong hand. Jay Andrews
was there instructing the governor the
gentle art of slab duty. Old Jason just
can't keep away when there is any
llmeligh- work to be done. He changed
hats with the states chief executive
and while the preliminary stunts were
being pulled off the big physician was
adorned with a light tan SLOUGH hat
while Governor Stubs wore a little
blue cap. Mayor Green will never de-
velop into a catcher. He allowed three
efforts Of Governor Stubbi to elude his
grasp. and on the fourth effort of the
governor gave way to Cooley. Governor
Stubs gave evidence of high, class
ability as a ball player. All he needs
IS a little seasoning. If he loses his
job as governor he can get a berth
with Cooley.
The Game starts.
Then the big game was on. johnson
and Sullivan were announced as the

How they made Mr.. Cooley feel young

1t was in the second inning that the
first score of the game came. Pritchett
started matters with two base hit to

Sullivan sent the Lincoln third sacke-

like a hitter but whanged one over the
