advance Agent All-Filipino Baseball


The All-Filipino baseball club was
organized a few months ago for the
purpose of sending a baseball team on
a tour Of Japan, Hawaii and the United
States. The members of the club are
mostly Filipinos, the exceptions being
the team manager and the advance
agent. the services of whom were de-
sired in this initial tour.
The purposes of sending out this
team are to get the Philippines on the
map, further the interest In the game,
and to try to create better feeling
between the peoples of the countries
visited and the Filipinos.
The team is made up OF the best
that the islands could produce at pres
ent, and from past performances, the
men are a credit to their country. Con-
sidering the length of time that the
game has been in the islands, the
progress made has been phenomenal
The Americans in the islands are be-
ginning to look to the Filipino to do
their ball playing and the game has
been very important factor in bring
ing the American and Filipino to be

a better rising generation. The Amer
lean roots and roasts the Filipino on
the hall field with impartiality, and
the Filipino does the same. A few
years ago the narrow and weak-chest-
ed young man was very much IN evi-
dence hut the game has changed the
order of things.
The players are from at least seven
different tribes and they have been
forced from necessity to use a differ
ent language than their own to play
the game. A few years ago also the
mingling of tribes to such an extent
was hardly to be thought OF. as tribal
differences existed to very marked
degree. Baseball has been an impor-
tant factor in removing the differences
and the people themselves are becom-
ing more united every day.
The itinerary calls for about four
months in the United States, after
which the management hopes to be
able to play a series in Honolulu on
their return voyage 10 the Philippines.
Ten games have been arranged for In
Japan with the leading universities at
Toxic. and as the Filipinos have al
ready met and defeated the Waseda
and Meiji teams in the Philippines, a
fair idea can be made as to the ball
playing ability OF the Filipino.
