five new and stronger quints has in

JAPANESEPLAYER
ESCAPES LINES
Koji Yamada on Way to This
Country After Thrilling
Times IN War Zone.

New York, Sept 12-Koji Yamada, the
champion japanese billiard player, who
was caught in the whirlwind of the
European war and for several weeks was
cut of from communication with the out
side world, has been heard from.
Yamada is due to arrive in this city
next Monday on the steamship Potsdam
which sailed from Rotterdam September
Z. This will be in ample time for him to
begin his engagements as a member of
the Champion Billiard Players League.
For weeks the friends Of the famous
young Jap were anxious for his safety,
and the efforts Of the Japanese Consul
General in this city, Takashi Nakamura,
were enlisted TO locate the champion bill
HARDEST The first word from the refugee
WAS a delayed cable which came to Pres
ident Mank, Of the league, early this
week It read:
Leave Rotterdam tomorrow by steamer
Potsdam," and was signed Roji Yamada.
This message was under date of Sep
tember 6
Yesterday President Mank was in re-
ceipt Of the following letter from Yamada
from Amsterdam:
II am now in Holland. and expect to
leave here about September 5 for New
York by the ship Potsdam Oaollandische
ship. and will arrive in New York about
September IA Everywhere in Europe is
war, and terrible. Everything very ex-
pensiveY and very few steamers for
America, so II is very difficult to go to
America, but I am fortunate. With my
very best regards all,
"KoJI YAMADA."
This letter was dated August q.
Yamada became widely known in this
country as billiard player in the tour
nament last spring at the Hotel Astor,
and also made numerous friends here on
account of his gentlemanly conduct He
went to Berlin to take part in the inter-
national billiard tourney. which was be-
ing held in that city when the great war
began He was at that time leading in
the contest for the championship Of Eu-
rope
Yamada's escape from Germany was
made the more difficult after Japan de-
clared war on the Kaiser. The fact that
Il took Yamada more than four weeks
10 make his way from Berlin to Amster-
dam is proof Of the many difficulties
which he must have met with and the
hardships which he centainly encounter
ed. His escape is attributed by the Jap
snese consul general Of this city to the
fact that he was educated at Heidelberg
and was widely known in the German
capital His friends in the war-waging
count< undoubtedly assisted him mate
rist>y IN making his way across the bor-

As the. season Of the Champion Billiard
Players League does not begin until the
first week in October, Yamada, IL he ar
riyes on time, viii have two weeks In
which TO practice before the beginning
OF the league games.

Of Its Importance.

The safety first campaign being

wide avenues, mufIler cutout ordi-

the Pacific coast and the Northwest,
The states to be included in the tour
