ORIENTALS ADD
POLITENESS TO
NATIONAL GAME

Well on the mainland To judge by
new spaper clipping sent home. Not
only are they winning a lot OF games
| but they are getting a lot Of coIupIi
mcntS on their general bchlN ior ON
and of the field.
Here's what the Arizona Daily star
has to say about the Hawuiian-Chi-
nese players:
BY SALLY JACOBS.
What revelation the first ball
game of the season was to the more
than five hundred fans who witnessed
the struggle that left the Chinese
students victors, to =. over the So
Ions! The introduction of Celestials
into the great national pastime Will
undoubtedly tend toward the moral
uplift of the game. Their polite and
courteous manner was contagious and
it was noted that there was not a
single unpleasant personality directed
at the players or even the umpire,
for that matter. Their few remarks
that drifted from the diamond to the
grand stand were delivered in perfect
English and their conversation proved
so agreeable to the local FASTENERS
that they rather regretted that the
boys from the Hawaiian islands talk
ed in their native tongue when in the
field.
Although We are all under one flag
it does seem deplorable for the chaps
to give up many of their distinctive
styles and customs and to adopt our
less attractive ones. How very much
more picturesque the sport would
have been, for instance, had those TAX
ing part appeared in mandarin coats
and worn queues All that reminded
one that the visitors were from the
land of chop suey and noodles were
the names in the lineup, except Mr..
zap, whose father was doubtless a
member of a we'll known American
family of wide connections.
Mr. Lai was a favorite with the
grandstand for it was popularity neu-
tral applauding the good work of the
strangers with the samn enthusiasm
with which they cheered their own
men It was Mr.. Lai who caught Mr.
Pittman mapping off third. OF course,
no one could blame Mr.. Pittman for
taking a little rest for he needed it
to make both the scoring runs for
Phoenix.
The really spectacular plays did not
occur until the eighth inning when
Mr.. Lai again won the unstinted ad
miration of the grandstand. He has
the most marvellous way of doing
things getting a great deal out of no.
thing, you know. He made single
and stretched it into three-bagger
just on account of little home grown
error. That wasn't all He stole home
when Mr. Horace Griffen endeaVored
to throw the ball over the grandstand,
and why it should have counted for
the Chinese is beyond human under
standing, when it was Mr.. Griffen who
should have been given credit for in
Producing the amusing novelty in the
otherwise good but not very eVentful
game

Strikingly, however, he recalled q
certain discussion he had held with
Helen. 1t had verged upon love, but
masked as friendship. She had
voiced her sentiments that when two

FAITHFUL TO HIS MASTER
Won BueIoW's Chef Not One Who
Would Desert Him in His
"Time of Misery"

Prince Buelow, whom the kaiser
sent to Rome on what has proved to
be a disastrous special mission, has
a fund of anecdotes, and has been
heard to tell this amusing story, IN
which the "all-highest' plays leading
part. Some years ago, when he was
retiring from the ambassadorsh1p at
Rome to take up the post of chancel-
lor of the empire, he summoned his
cook. veritable Gordon bleu, to tell
him of the change. 1--WE shall not live
in our present grand STYLE, he said,
"but on a much smaller scale. Per-
haps.. therefore, you would prefer to
find another place" The cook, doubt
less imagining that financial disaster
was impending, remained silent for
few moments, then with the air OF one
about to perform sympathetic act
replied: ''Well, excellency, | am
grieved at hearing such melancholy
news, but I shall remain in your serv-
ice. Whatever may happen to you,
would not for worlds have it said
I had deserted you in your time OF
misery" At dinner one evening the
prince told the story to the kaiser, who
had had personal experience of the
culinary chefs skill, and was highly
amused at the princes anecdote. So
interested, indeed, did the emperor
feel in the cook that shortly afterWard
he sent the worthy fellow handsome
gold watch, on the lid of which was
engraved the one word Misery by
which rame his majesty ever after
ward laughingly spoke OF and adj
dressed him.
