This society was organized In 1896
and is represented throughout the en-
pire. Today ii numbers over 1000 900
members Its purpose seems to be
the development of military virtues.
OF bravery. of skill in defense ard at
tack. In this great hall scores of per-
sons daily engage In the practise of
Fencing and of jiu-jitsu. When we
entered, we found the exercise In full
swing Half the hall was devoted TO
feneing, the other half to jiu.titsu.
we were warned as we entered the
building that no photographing would
De allowed, but that we were wei
come to witness the performance.
The thing which first impressed us
was the fact that a sprinkling of the
combatants actively engaged in
fencing and in jiu.jltsu were mere
children eight or ten years old. No
one who has not seen the exercise
can imagine the vigor and aggressive
ness OF Japanese fencing. The com.
batants are carefully guarded against
injury by heavy protective covering
on the head and over the face. the
chest. the arms and upper legs. The
weapons used in fencing are like club
swords or wooden stats, and NOT only
thrusts but strokes of the most vio-
lent nature are given In the exercise
The noise made Is astonishing hut
more astonishing yet Is the vigor of
attack. Children were pitted against
grown men in many cases, although
IT is clear that the older combatants
IN such pairing are not expected TO
use their powers to the utmost. At
the same time. they do not play with
their small antagonists. who in many
cases make onslaughts of such vigor
and force that skillful guarding is
necessary for protection against it.
5-tsu. Here too. in many cases children
OF eight or ten are pitted against we'll
known men. Every reader knows
that jiu-jitsu is a form of wrestling
In which yielding on the part Of the
attacked defeats the exerted strength
and power of the assailant. The
more an enemy exerts himself the
worse for him. 1t is astonishing to
see some of the results, especially
IN cases where a child of eight years
seemed to throw and exhaust Q man
Of developed power.
The fact that photographing was
not allowed is part of the general pol.
icy Of the imperial government Pri-
vate fencing can be Witnessed any
where without restriction. Teachers

II is an odd fact that the baseball
teams representing leading cities in
the United States are seldom called
by their proper names. When fans
are talking baseball they rarely refer
to John McGraw's great team as the
New York Nationals, but atfectionate-
" cling to the time-honored name
Giants" This is the case practically
all over the country. and the reasons
for it are interesting With two ball
teams In major league city 1t is
easier to distinguish between them by
using nicknames than lacking on the
name Of the league which each repre-
sents. Hence we have the Giants"
representing the metropolis in the
National league and the Highland
ers" or Yankees" doing the same in
the American league.
In the old days. say twenty years
ago, the same practise prevailed, but
not exactly for the same reason. as
two clubs in a single city. barring
Philadelphia. could not live. The New
Yorks were first nicknamed the
Giants" in those days because the
players were all big men. Buck Ew-
ing, Tim Keefe, Roger Connor, Bill
Brown, George Gore. Ed Crane, Jim
O'Rourke and Mike Herman were six
footers and powerfully built. The
Brooklyns were called the Bride
grooms" because a majority OF them
had just been married. The Chlcagos.
under Arson. were known as the
White Stockings" for the reason
that they wore hose of that color, and
the St Louis Browns under the lead
ership of Comiskey were similarly
n,44ad. So were the old Cincinnati
Re J, while all the Boston teams we're
kAOwn popularity as the "Beaneaters.
The Clevelands, with Pat Tebeau
at the helm, were dubbed The Spi-
ders." as some of the players were
slightly built, and had thin legs. The
old Detroit champions were always
called THE Wolverines" and the
Pittsburg team bore the name of
Smoky City" and Pirates" from time
immemorial The Washingtons we're
hailed everywhere as THE Senators"
" AAAt III AhN aAA0
the Athletics were the same old
rivals. The Indianapolis team was
nicknaI.ed the HOLSTERS. and the old
Metropolitans of the American asso-
citation were known familiarly as the
Nets The Louisvilles were the
Colonels, and In 1854 there was such
a team as the st. Louis Maroons in
the defunet Union association engi-
neered by II. V. Lucas.
Nowadays we hear of the Boston
Red Sox of the American league and
the Boston Doves. named for their
reputed owner. George B. Dewey. The
Brooklyns are staggering under the
name Trolley Dodgers. and in Chi
cago we have the Cubs and White
Sox. The Clevelands have been nick
named the Maps because the great
Lajoie is their leader. while the De-
troits are known all over the land
as the Tigers. In st. Louis the
Browns and the Cardinals are rivals

CUBS AND ATHLETICS PICKED TO PLAY
THE WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES
Member of the Chicago Team Says Pttsbug Is the Club Ills
Outfit WIN Have to Beat-Confdent Mack viii Take
HonOrs Away From Hughie Jennings in the
American League

1T begins to look as If the Chicago
Cubs and the Philadelphia Athletics
are the teams that viii be fighting for
the worlds championship the latter
part of October" said a member OF
the Cubs team a few days ago.
I'm not saying this because hap
pen to be drawing salary for playing
with the Cubs, but it is my honest
belief that we are going to cop the
pennant in the National league and 1t
is my opinion that Connie Mack
bunch is certain to land the rag IN
the American league.
Can we beat the Athletics? I'm
surprised that you should ask such
a question We can beat any team
that ever played baseball. It's true
the Sox trimmed US once. but that
story that hasn't been fully told, 50
I'll not attempt to explain 1t. They
couldn't do ( again.
THE Detroit bunch will be lucky
II 1t finishes in second place this year
and that outfit known as the Boston
Speed Boys is going to give the Attn
letics a run for their coin, but feel
sure that Connie Mack will land In
front and the Chicago and Philadei-
phia fans will get to see the battle
for worlds championship honors.
II know the race is by no means
over and we have a lot Of games to
win, but with Reulbach, Overall and
Brown back in condition we have
twirling staff that is second to none
and the rest of the team is as good as
any other. Some of the others have
individual batters who lead us. but as
team they don't class.
I'm looking for the Giants to blow
up pretty soon and believe 1t will be
the Pirates who will be at our heels
when the National league race Is
finished The Pittsburg bunch seems
to have shaken that slump and they
can be expected to come fast from
now on. Some say it was because OF
the failure of the club management
to pay promised bonuses that the
Pirates didn't play up to last sea-
sons form, but | don't believe 1t.
Every team has its bad days and |
think It was just a natural fall down
that put the Pirates down in third
place. I'll bet they beat New York
out of second position. See If I'm not
right. While I'm confident the Cubs
will win anyway. I'd rather be playing
against New York than against Fred
Clarke's crew"
Hughey Jennings remarks that two
seasons ago, when the Tigers started
on their first eastern trip, they were
absolutely in last place. They were
.276 percentage points behind the
Athletics. They we're playing sand
lot ball If sand-lot ball was ever
played. Quoting the manager: Il
was almost in despair and verify be-
lieve that the only reason | was not
driver out of Detroit was that the
fans were charitable enough to give
me the credit for winning the pennant
the year before. Well. sir, we started
out on the road, and when we came
back we had wiped out all but Is of
those awful .276 percentage points.
We had played &c games and had won
20 of them, andsat wasn't long until
we were at the top. You know the
rest"

OF patronage. The Washingtons have
shaken the Senators forthe Nationals,
but the Cincinnatis and Pittsburgs still
stick to the Reds and Pirates. That
is the case with the Phillies and the
Athletics in Philadelphia. too.

The race for that automobile prize
which is to go to the best batter in
either of the big leagues is growing
hotter every day. Napoleon Laioie
has the lead in the American league
according to the latest figures, but Ty
Cobb is a close second. Lajoie on the
Maps eastern trip let down some in
his hitting and was outbatted by three
of the Boston players in the series
there, but did not lose the lead. There
is no cleaner hitter in baseball than
Lajoie and he has gained the lead by
smashing them out good and strong,
He is not what is known as a clean
up" hitter like Cobb and some of the
others, but just pegs away day by day
getting his two, three and sometimes
four hits regularly.
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1910-08-10

When the last count was taken Ma
tional league pitchers had struck out
1,549 batsmen and have given 1856
bases on balls. These statistics have
little comparison with the figures of
strike-outs and walks in the American
league. Up to the game time, there
had been 1891 of the former and but
1872 passes. Basing the ultimatum
on the old ivy frescoed assumption
that figures don't lie" Ban Johnson's
wheelers excel this season.
