WASEDA TOSSERS
SHOW Up WELL IN
initial WORKOUT
More Than 100 Fans Gather at
Athletic Park to Watch
Japanese in Action

More than 100 fans gathered in Ath
letic Park to watch the Waseda Uni
versity team from Japan in their first
workout After the players had ca
yorted around and loosened UP theil
muscles somewhat the critics present
voted that they looked good. They
are not world 5eaters by any m cans
but from their showing yesterday look
strong enough TO give the local teams
a good race for honors. ..
Waseda has gathered together a
bunch OF little fellows They hardly
measure to the height of the Meiji
team, Dut as ball players one can tell
at a glance that they are head and
shoulders over the team which visited
here last summer. -. =.
Southpaw Pitcher. ....& "...... .s.
Every one of the boys takes nice
swing at the ball, anu they are IN
usually fast in fielding The pitchers
did not loosen up much yesterday, but
Kawashima and Kishi sent few fast
ones to the catcher. Kishi Is south
paw and handles himself well. He ap-
pears 20 have an abundance of speed
and sharp break on the ball Kawa.
shima is ackno 4iedged to be the pre-
mier pitcher, as he has good control
and is a heady man on the mound.
Center fielder Cho and shortstop
Kato were watched yesterday in their
practise, and both look like good ball
players Che is Chinese who was
born in Japan, and speaks the Japan
csc language finently. He looks good
at the bat and showed plenty of speed
in the field. III
Midget at Short. >>.... ....
Kato is about as big as pint of
cider, and the little fellow surely
showed something for boy of his
size. He has a way of getting the ball
OFF fast, and at the plate stands up
well and cracks the ball on a line.
Ichioka, the big catcher, handles him
self well, and in his few pegs 10 the
second cushion exhibited good whip.
The players, of course. realize that
they will have to fight hard to win,
but they are said to be a game buneh
and the Chicago boys had good word
for them. At the first practise they
looked good enough to give the locals
a good series. Manager Paresa should
not have an easy time winning from
this squad, and local Japanese believe
that the Wasedas will land the first
game.

When Farmer Jones retired to "
A life of ease in town,
He didn't know just what to do
To keep ennul down; .-....
He said: FOR idling I'm not strong,
Lies dull in this here hub; 49,
I'll go where rural chaps belong
III join the Country Club"
So Farmer Jones paid in his dues y
They took his breath away
And started in to air his views
Where club members held sway;
He thought to talk about the crops,
OF poultry, hogs and blight.
But when he switched to wheat or
hops :....
His hearers said Good night"
The members talked OF tennis games,
And golf and lottle pool;
They talked OF billiards, bowling
frames,
And polo's latest rule,
Until at last the farmer said:

But VINO was it--insane, misled-

With t1e presence OF the Waseda
University team here for series o
games, many Of the old-time fans vii
recall the days when the St. Louis
College team first made trip to ia
pan nearly decade ago. To be exac
II was nine years ago in October
when nine sturdy athletes played
against the japanese teams.
They were piloted by Pat Gleason
crossing the Pacific on the good ship
Siberia. Many fans may doubt the
statement that the squad was com.
posed OF only nine players for a. Sc.

present day teams would dream oil
undertaking such a trip without able
substitutes.

and this aggregation was some ball

with the present-day hurlers, while
Soares was work horse behind the
bat and q good sticker. Evers had no
equal as q shortstop in his day, and
En- Sue was streak of lightning Oh
the paths. The players were all at
their best at that time and made a
good record.
The team sailed from Honolulu on
October 16, 1907. and ten days later
arrived at Yokohama, where they
were royalty welcomed by the dele
gates from Keio and Waseda Univer-
stiles. 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 moderated the strength. Of

Won Seven Out Of Nine.
The game was interesting as II was
q mutual surprise when st. Louis lost
after 13s 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 S32.
Up to the time of the visit of the
St Louis team baseball in Japan was
IN rather chaotic condition, although
the game had been introduced as far
back as $780, OF course such large
institutions as Keio and Waseda had
fairly fast teams, and their annual

II may observed that the sailors did
not help much in improving the base

So. Louis the Pioneer.
The st. Louis club was the first big
team In invade Japan, and their ter
rifle hitting, fast fielding and inside
plays were all revelations to the Jap
anese players, who Immediately be-
gan to sit up and take notice. in
later years Keio, Waseda and Meiji
sent their teams to Hawaii and to
the mainland, while college teams and
big leaguers from America visited
the Land Of Cherry Blossoms many
times.
The international contests had
much to do in boosting the game and
developing the playing talents in ia
pan, and today baseball is almost the
national game there. Japan owes
much to Hawaii for its baseball de-
yelopment and the major credit goes
to the ST. Louis team of 1907. The

history Of Japan.

Nine years have passed and there
has been a lot Of changes in the play

Kona, and almost forgotten by the
present-day fans. Henry Bushnell
and Eddie Fernandez will once more
don the uniform against a Japanese

George Bruins graduated to be a good

against the Waseda team on Sunday.

II has been II years since Brooklyn
has finished better than third in the
National League race, and the fans
across the bridge from the Giant and
! Yank home believe that the Superbas
will do better than this in the season
! of 1916.
In 1902 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
year, when Wilbur Robinson brought
the bunch of Trolley Dodgers to third
place. New York claims that they
will have an opportunity to witness
the world series this year, and they
are banking on the Superbas as much
IS they are the Giants and the Yanks
to bring home the bacon.
Have a Chance.
In other years the Brooklyn squad
have pounded the ball hard, but some
thing has gone wrong. This year the
Brooklyn boss Is figuring ON good
hitting team and fast outfield, not
to mention good pitching staff, and
the Superbas right now will have an
excellent chance to make fight for
the flag.
Looking over the pitching staff you
will find that Robby' has number OF
stars. Nap Rucker. Cheney, Coombs,
Dell. Appleton, Pfeffer, Marquard.
Mails and Golwell furnish quite a
squad of pitching material. Then
Stevenson and Prieste will be given
chance. but II Is hardly likely that
these two boys can stick It out.
Nap Rucker Again.
Nap Rucker Is an uncertainty, but
the great southpaw has good head
and may be able to win this season.
Last year he won a majority OF his
games. and If he can return to his
past form the Dodgers will have a
mighty good chance Of finishing
around the top. Larry Cheney Is q
good pitcher and may show something
this year. ''Weiser' Deli had a good
year in 1915, ranking well up in the
pitching records, and as he is yet q
youngster should improve. Appleton
was sensations in the minors, hut
failed to do much last year.
