The total attendance OF the three
games was 1S,OOO and in each instance
the Kieo University playing field was
filed, hundreds being compelled to
stand up, and so near to the outfield-
ers that they interfered with the play
ing. The admission prices ran up to
3 yen, or $50 in American money, this
being considered a high figure for a
sporting event in, Japan. The Tokyo
Times remarks that lit is a mathemat-
ical puzzle to imagine how great 2
crowd would have made a rush to the
ball park had not the admission charges
awaited to the yen mark"
The greatest gathering was at the
Sunday morning game. when the kieo
University team of japanese players
engaged in a game With a picked team
from the touring clubs. This crowd
numbered 1000.
On Saturday afternoon 5000 saw the
Sox defeat the Giants, and on Sunday
afternoon 6,0O0 witnessed the second
game between the touring teams. The
Sunday morning game was played in
chilly weather, but it was warm in the
afternoon.
The Japan Advertiser Of Tokyo had
the following:
work. Each signal is exactly followed,
and the> umpire's decision is obeyed si-
lentIy. 1t is this system of arbitration
that the ballplayers of the country must
note and develop, so that further fric-
ton in international baseball games
may be averted. The speed and alac-
rity of the base stealing, too, was a
revelation to the Japanese. It was es-
pecially interesting to watch the peer
less Manager McGraw signaling to his
men by his attitude. and TO see the
strict discipline of his players Gala
hans men seemed to work the stick
with better results The fans did not go
with any particular interest as to who
would win, but rather to study the ac-
ton of the world-renowned players
What impressed the fans was the style
of the players, the umpiring and the
details of carrying out an Al match
1t was a pity that the field did not af-
ford a greater sphere of action to the
outfielders, so as to exhibit their real
worth: but, nevertheless, one was i'm
pressed with the idea that the major
league players are everything their
name signifies.

CONTRACTS GO OUT
MONDAY, SAYS GR|FF.
Old Fox Expects No Trouble
Signing Up His Players For
Coming Campaign.

Il shall send out my contracts next
Monday" was the announcement of
Clark Griffith today, "and I don't ex-
pect to have any trouble over them.
The National Commission may bring
about a few changes in their wording
after hearing the demands of the Play
ers' Fraternity, but that will be merely
a matter of form. New contracts will
then be printed and gned by the play
ers who will, of course be held by the
old ones. l want to get this matter all
cleaned up in plenty of time
Manager Griffith will be the principal
guest of honor at the annual banquet
Of the Cardinal A. G, in Alexandria,
Va, on January %. He will make one
of his inimitable speeches and will very
likely offer the Cardinals an exhibition
date, if he can find a vacancy in the
list.
Encouraging word from Mein Herr
Joe Engel, who is now in Monaco, Pa,
sojourning for a few days with his
crorey, Hank Shanks, has been received
by Manager Griffith. Boncsetter Reese
found some ligacnents out of place and
Immediately tuned them up. Engel has
been cautioned to rest his arm now un-
til the training season when, according
to Reese, he will not suffer from his
arm.
In order to bring his playing squad
down to the legal limit of thirty-five,
the Climbers chieftain is expected 20
cut the strings on three or four of his
athletes within a few days. They will
probably go to Los Angeles or Elmira
for further experience.

High passed up the offer. He knows
that his salary is sure in the American
League.
Next Tuesday the two big leagues
will very likely send out their contracts
for 1911 Then the warfare will be on.
If the figures do not suit the players,
some will be found in the Federals'
camp. The big leagues will be ready u
pay fancy salaries for the real stars,
and hardly one will take the jump into
the dark. Indeed, until the outlaws
show some more money, it is difficult 10
see how they can coax any stars into
their ranks.
That the Federals are not getting live
players may be seen at a glance. Joe
Tinker is thirty-four years old, older
than Tom Hughes by two years. He
can't last much longer. Mordecai Brown

And yet the Federal League says il

Ned Hanlon has yet to out IN nickel

by a morning paper there which say 5,

Orval Overall. the former Cub tWiTl-

Connie Mack doesn't agree with Ban

it will be the best. He also feels conf

heavyweight boxers striving for the
title. Nevertheless, remembering other
days, Smith cannot be so very powerful

exceedingly raw in his boxing, lacking

SHEPHERD OF
THE HILLS" COMING

Harold Bell Wright, the author of
THE Shepherd Of the Hills" The
Winning Of Barbara Worth" The
of Dan Matthews" and That
Printer of Udells," has made, in COL
liberation with Elsbury w. Reynolds,
a dramatization of his most popular
story, "The Shepherd of the Hills"
The play has received an excellent
production from GaskiIl and MacVitty
and Mrs. Bradley, proprietor of the
Opera House, looks for as profitable
an engagement on Monday, November
9th as its initial presentation did last
year.
'The Shepherd of the Hills" is a
splendid story of real life among the
Ozark hill of Missouri and Arkansas.
If you go there, you will easily find
a Mutton Hollow, a hill like Dewey
Bald, and people like Sammy Lane,
Young Matt, Mad Howard and Father
Hewitt. Clirging to the beautiful
story simply told, is the atmosphere
Of the life of the pictureque region
which is SO sadly unfamiliar to the
travellers in search of new scenes. 1t
is a clean and stong play, we'll worth
seeing many times.

POSTMASTER LEAVES
LACONIC WILL

Dwight A. Dawson, former post
master Of Reno, who died following an
operation Just after the primary cleo
ton in which he was a candidate, left
an Geographic will of five lines which
was today filed for probate by E. F.
Lunsford.
Although the will leaves all prop
erty to Mrs Dawson, his widow, it is
said that n half of the estate will
go to the two sons, the elder a boy of
IL and the younger an infant son,
born at the time of its fathers death.
This is because no mention whatever
was made of the children in the will,
and the desire of Dawson that his
widow have the entire estate in order
that she might care for the same.
The will was written 0y Dawson
just before he went on the operating
table.
The estat is said to be worth about
$1,000 exclusive of the life insurance.
