cit was great trip, said w Tin
Chong shortly after the docking of the
Siberia, and / cannot begin to tell of
the wonders we saw and the thousands
Of kindnesses shown us everywhere we
went. Manila is a great baseball town
and nothing was too good for us. In
fact from the time we left until we
again set foot in Honolulu it was one
continuous round of pleasure.
Naturally we are proud Of our ar.
cOmplishments and think we have
done much to boost Hawaii and t.
prove to the world that Chinese can
Play basel all. Manila seemed to have
an idea that we could not play bail
and one of the scribes there took oc

pleasant one. We were successful, as
the local folks well know by this time
in winning the championship series at
Manila and also at the Far East Ath

monial Of our victories we brought
home five magnificent cups from the
Orient. These we either won on the
diamond or were presented to us by
admirers Of the team.
"Of course we are glad to get back
to Honolulu, there is no place like it.
The team will rest up today and to
morrow tut Thursday morning we
will be in harness again practising for
our games with the Stanford Univers-
ity team.
