The Keio University baseball team,
which is to be here for Il series in a
few days, and the team Of FOrdham
College, New York, played ut New
York a couple of weeks ago, and the
city editor of the New York World
sent one of his funny men" out to
do the game Here is what happened,
according to the New York paper:
o Honorable. Splendid and Super
fine American Public, ii Is to lie hum
bly, and abjectly called to your ntten-
ton that there is from the University
of Keio at Toxic, Of the land Of Japan,
a baseball team which by the Select
Sign of the Big Chrysanthemum is no
bum bunch of baseball players, which
pleasantly must just the same be
admitted.
or ayesterday they played Fordham
University at the Bronx Oval, Humbly.
without really having the right to the
privilege of wiping the shoes u! those
who are addressed. the statement is
yet made that Keio copied the game.
Still humbly, yet by all rules of the
game, the cry goes up Of "iIanhai! VII.
yip,yip! Kei-O!" the score being II
to I in favor Of the laps. They did ii
with their little bait.
They carried the winning argument
to Fordham by virtue of the whang-
ing wallop. There was. for instance.

Fordham Pitchers Knocked Out.
by the Pink Whiskers Of Our Prus-
sian Ancestors, twas most humiliat-
ing-nOt that any of the boys at Ford
ham ever had the Sinking Moon Of
Melancholy, the sad fact that in seven
innings two Fordham pitchers had
been cast dead. legs, fielding gloves
and alb into the chop suey pot. II
was not unfit Fordham planted their
big boy Kchoe to tackle Keio that
Fordham furnished up.
Kehoe put the crlmpo into the Toxic
Tcrrors. Against him they whanged
the AFRO! But the harmini had all
been doneio before Keheo was turned
loose! Surest thing you knowio.
The score then stood II to 4. The
Fordham boys got out their mega
phones and finest assortment Of yells,
yawps and didocs. And the FOrdham
players went down with their colors
flying, making three runs in the last
inning. But as they needed seven
runs It was-oh, well, II was hard
luck.
The attention of the Exalted, Hon
orable and Supcrtine American Public
is asked to the consideration Of these
Japanese diamond cutters, who have
gone iaunting over the United States
trimming the universities of st Louis
Cincinnati, California and Denver.
