Japan will show her friendship for

government and should be settled in
Washington.
THE japanese in California are now

California do not care what becomes

ed by sensational fielding on both sides
and by excellent battery work. It was a
pitcher battle thruout and for seven inn
ings the home team played Marshall on
even terms. But in the 9Th the luck went
against them. Marshall had men on sec
ond and third and in an attempt to catch
the runner off third, Smith caught his foot
on the pitchers plate and lost the ball, and
both runners scored.
New Ulm scored in the 5th when Cordes
doubled to center, stole third and scored
on Lindemann's sacrifice. Smith and
Hodgins did the heavy work and it sure
was some wonderful work. Time and a.

ing looked probable but fast infield work
and clever pitching shut off runs.
