BRITISH JAPANESE EXHIBITION


The British japanese exhibition in

doors to get the full benefit of all the

unusually attractive in London, and

The japanese have proved them
selves wonderful little workmen. Ii is
doubtful whether at any exhibition of
similar magnitude the operations have
been so well in hand within fortnight
of opening. One can gain very fair
impression even now of the general
aspect of the exhibition. Clearly there
will be no want of realism. The Jap,

There Are More Good Base
Combinations Than Can Be
Selected in the Field.

Although it takes four men to make an
infield and only three for an outfield
there are more good inields than out
fields. 1t seems to be easier to find four
infielders who as group measure up to
standard than to find three such out
fielders on one club. True. the infie.ds
have more chance to show what they
can do, but the fine work in the outfield.
such as throwing and cutting off long
hits. doesn't appear even relatively as
often as fancy infield work.
There are only three outfields In the
big leagues which for ground covering,
throwing and speed in getting after long
hits rate up to Al grade. These are the
Detroit. Chicago National and Pittsburg
out1elds. Notwithstanding Pittsburg S
bumps this year. Clarke, Leach and Will
son are three sweet gardeners. Hoffman,
Schultz and Sheckard are an outfield
hard to improve on, while Cobb and
Crawford are pippins, with either McIn-
tyre or Jones in left classy enough to TIT

the Red Sox make pretty nice outfield
and one likely to get better.
The best infield in the country is that

great pitcher has had to throw to the
plate during his twenty-one years on the
diamond. He has pitched 500 games, not
counting exhibition and training trip con-

game. a total of 100. $50 during his cham
pfonship contests. For a few years of his
big league career the pitchers box was
only fifty feet from the plate. being placed
where it is now later on. Further compu-

a total of 100 miles. II his efforts in

doubled. Yet his right arm shows but
few signs of firing.

than 100 years, but competitions among a

Anacostia failed to have nine eligible
men on the field at the usual hour of play
yesterday and the Langdon Episcopal ag-
gregation won the game by forfeit 1t
happened that it was the last scheduled
game of the season and the league feels
proud that its patrons have had to suffer
but a single forfeit.
A meeting of the officials of the league
was held at the residence of it's vice pres
ident, Mr.. w. r. Love, last Thursday
evening. At this gathering the protest of
the Langdon team against Ninth when
these two teams met July 10 was taken
up and the contest was awarded to the
Suburban team. On the day of this game
Charlie Broome was ordered to the bench
by Umpire Hughes. and Carroll, an incl
igible man, was sent to bat in the catch
er's place. The ruling of the officials was
hard blow to the members of the Chris
tan team, which was leading at the time.
but since this protested game was award
ed against them it gives the Hamline team
fair show for the pennant Hamline
now has a. lead of three games, or forty
five points in percentage over the north
east team.
Ninth will make an appeal to the ANA
teur commission to settle this game Ninth
also has a protest pending against the
Hamline team for using ineligible men,
and this will be decided at the next meet
ing of the league.
The following schedule of postponed
games was given out by the league at its
