National League race, and the fans
across the bridge from the Giant and
Yank home believe that the Superhas
will do better than this in the season
Of 1916.
In l9G2 the Brooklyn team. finished
second place to the Pittsburg Pirates,
but since that time they have held a
place in the second division until last

the bunch of Trolley Dodgers to third

With the presence OF the Wased;

games, many OF the old-time fans wi
recall the days when the ST. Loui
College team first made trip to, ia

. II was nine years ago in Octobe
when nine sturdy athletes playel
against the japanese teams.
They were piloted by Pat Gleason
crossing the Pacific on the good shil
Siberia. Many fans may doubt th,
statement that, the squad was com
posed OF only nine players for a sc
ries In foreign lands as none OF th,
present day teams would dream o
undertaking such a trip without abl'
substitutes. =
A Real "Nine."
/ do not know whether those OLE
st. Louis players were hogs for wori
or economical but the fact remains
that IL was a real nine which made
the trip. They were Bob Leslie, p

l.. Soares. c.; George Bruins. 2b.; Lo
On. 3D.; Johnny Eyers, S.; Eddie
Fernandez, H.; In Sue, CT, and Oil

only pitchers. they had to alternate

All around ability was known then,
and this aggregation was some ball

with the present-day hurlers; while
Soares was work horse behind the
bat and good sticker. Evers had no
equal as shortstop In his day, and
En- Sue was a streak OF lightning OIL

their best at that time and made a
good record
The team sailed from Honolulu on
October 16, 1906. and ten days later
arrived at Yokohama, where they
were royalty welcomed by the dele
gates from Keio and Waseda Univer.
sites, also by many fans. On October
81 they played their first game on
foreign soil against the Keios, with
Leslie In the box. The boys from
Hawaii underrated the strength Of
the Keios. and the Japanese overestf
mated the strength OF the visitors.
Won Seven Out Of Nine.
The game was interesting as 1t was
a mutual surprise when st. Louis lost
after l3 hard fought innings. Per-
haps the defeat was due to sea-sick-
ness as. after they gained their land
legs, they lost but one game out OF
eight battles in the entire series. Al
together they played nine games, win
ming seven for the remarkable aver
age OF SS2.

St Louis team baseball In Japan was
IN rather chaotic condition, although
the game had been introduced as far
back as 1890. OF course such large
institutions as Keio and Waseda had

The international contests had
much to do in boosting the game and
developing the playing talents in ia

national game there. Japan owes
much to Hawaii for its baseball de-
velopment and the major credit goes
to the ST. Louis team of 1907. The
visit of the St. Louis College team
was an epoch maker in the baseball

Two games were played in the Cav

diamond at the old cavalry canton
ment. :. .. -.
At Castner C Troop with some phe-
nomenal batting had no trouble down
ing F Troop by a score of 16 to 4.
Cook started on the mound for the un-
fortunate F Troop team, and neither
he nor two other pitchers could stop
the batting bee of the c Troop play
ers. --->.
BednarZ was the pitcher for G
Troop, and his performance was be-
yond reproach. He struck out IL bat
tiers and raped out a two-bagger at
one game. Carpenter of C Troop an
nexed four safeties in five times at
bat, and Lyttle gets credit on the rec
ords for three singles and a pretty
sacrifice.
The score was as follows:

THE LILLIPUTIANs.-In

lucky hour the board of education
contracted with Parker H. Sercombe,
statistical expert, to apply his stan
dard synthetic table system to the
school business. This system was
first applied locally when Sercombe
compiled Coroner Hoffman's bienni-
al report, which report makes won
derfUl reading. .-
By the articles and theorems of
accountancy it took the new super
visor less than five months to ana
lyze the school situation and Incl
dentally to expose some rare fiscal
facts. These pearls he cast before
the LiIIiputians of the board; and
then the fat was in the fire.
Sercombe contends that two plus
two equal four, and that by a1npIfy-
ing his mathematics, but never
abandoning truths like the foregoing
equation, he is able easily to calcu-
late the result Of the abduction of
the kinetic energy liberated from a
given amount Of fuel to a given area
or volume Of auditorium space. The
board seems to be committed to the
fancy that two plus two occasionally
may equal 1878, if friend" should
so compute it. Being educators, it is
possible they are right and are able
to involve fifth or sixth dimensionaI
calculus to prove it. After much
thought, however, I!doubt that two
and two ever make more or less than
four.
With much sweating and cussing
and casting of worried glances to
windward, the board dismissed Ser
combe, the ,eye-opener; for the Lord

have unearthed or what future mel
