working hard and together 10 hold the

High Man on Each Team.
MANY OLD TIMERS
in MINOR LEAGUES

Some day the class leaguers are 60
ing to wake up and find that they have
been pursuing the wrong system in build
ing up their ball clubs. For the last few
years they have relied upon big league
discards to a great extent. rather than
pick up youngsters from the bush
leagues.
The result has been that when the big
league clubs look around in the summer
.lme for recruits they pass up the class
organizations and hunt around anon z
the minor leagues for talent The reason
Is that the larger minor leagues are load
ed up with has-beens, players who have
outlived their usefulness in the top-notclr
circuits.
Take the Eastern League roster, for in
stance. and II will be found that the real
stars are big league dlscards. Jack Gro
min. who was big Lacquer ten years ago.
was third in the list OF pitchers. while
others to shine were McGinnity, Doc"
Newton, Henley and Mallarkey, all OF
whom served several years in the ma
jors
In other positions were John CAMEL.
Harry Arndt. John Anderson. Walter
Grimshaw, Phil Lewis. Pattee. Sammy
Strang. Jack Dunn. Jimmy Casey, Yea
ger, Batch, Monte Cross Holly, Joe KEEL
ley, Jake Gettman and Wyatt Lee.
The same is true Of the American AS
ISOLATION only to a greater degree. the
eight clubs in the latter circuit being
filled I'D with former big leaguers.
The major leagues themselves have
been responsible for this condition OF at
fairs to a certain extent. for by scouting
through the minor leagues so thoroughly
as they have they have not left much
for the class leagues. The passage OF
the thirty-fve-player limit. however.
should make 1t possible for the big little
leagues to introduce more young talent
than they haNoA f0r-the-last few years.

JAPAN'S At TITUDE
TOWARD AMERICA
Premier katsula Unable to un-
deIstand Talk Of Wal.

Toxic, Aug. 4.-Japan is amazed by
the new manifestation of jingoism in
America. After more than fifty years
of almost worshipful affection for her
Japan cannot understand Americas
fresh outbreak of seeming animosity.
The premier, General MARQUIS Taro
Katsura, soldier and statesman and
the most prominent figure near the
throne, was asked to define his coun-
try's attitude toward the United
States. - $780,.
:: "America has been tender mother
to Japan" said the premier. Coming
up from her babyhood we were but
one year old when you came and tap
ped gently on the door. It is impossi-
BILE to believe that such relation
ship can be broken off without reason.
:; ,"There is no>reason for America to
be displeased with Japan's develop
ment and advancement. What causes
the revival of these war .rumors in
, America? You objected to our immi-
grants; we kept them away. Why
this talk of war with us in America
now? What is the basis of complaint
against us?~ .r.-
IT do not understand it. It is very
disagreeable. America is strong
enough to accomplish anything. Who
can withstand her in anything size
has determined upon? =
1--WE have great problem, prob
lem not only for Japan, but for the
whole world. We think America
should stand beside us in preserving
civilization from any possible conflict
growing out of the problem; should
aid us to end the cruelties of war.
"War between America and Japan
is impossible" concluded the premier
.solemnly.
