BASEBALL SPIRIT
IN PHILIPPINES

San Francisco, April S.-Baseball is do
ing more than bullets toward subjugatin;s
the warlike tribes of the Philippines. ac-
cerding to Elwoods Brown, physical di-
rector of the Young Mems Christian as
sociation at Manila, who arrived from
the Orient today.
Tribes that a few years ago thought of
little else than an opportunity to slash
American soldier with machetes, are now
trading their weapons for balls and bats
and even the head hunters of Northern
Luzon promise to become fans
''Sar in the interior OF the islands, -
said Brown, "the natives clad only in
their loin clothes are playing the game.
Recently a company Of constabulary
landed on Joo island and as they were
making camp they heard through the
,nngle an awful uproar. The soldiers be-
lieving villagers We're being butchered,
seized their guns and crept toward a
clearing whence came the noise
There they saw a thousand natives
dancing about and yelling. A little brown
man was running madly toward a palm
leaf that marked first base, and another
afterward identified as a chief, was tell
ing the crowd that the hit was fair
only few years ago this chief had
given the constabulary lot of trouble,
A visit to his shack showed that among
his prize possessions were the photo
graphs of some of the big league play
ers.
THE entire younger genera ton of the
Philippines is baseball crazy The Amer
lean soldier who introduced the game in
the islands did their country a great
service"

1t would serve little purpose to dis-
cuss the relative merits of the clubs at
this time, or to deliver the usual pro-
season lecture relative to the necessity
of the fans retaining their peace in
time OF disaster.
1t might be we'll to repeat, however
that Birmingham, the city. Is very anx-
ious to win the opening day attendance
trophy and to urge every fan to rush
to the assistance of those who are
leading the fight. Nashville is making
big plans to overwhelm Birmingham
in regard to attendance and to get the
sleepy fellows out to the park a mo
mentous parade will be attempted. Gov
ernor Hooper and Mayor Howe have
consented to bury the hatchet long
enough to permit them to ride together
in single carriage.
Chattanooga, too, is making efforts
to win the trophy. Certain of>the mer-
chants OF Birmingham have agreed to
close their doors and there is now
good reason to hope than 10000 fans
will be seated in the enclosure of
Rickwood Field when the first ball is
pitched.
And in speaking of the pitching of
the first ball we are reminded that 1t
is to be regretted that Bean Balf'

Sir Thomas challenge was cabled to
the New York Yacht club through the
