Occidentals Are Taking to Ancient Scottish Game in
Large Numbers Everywhere-Tennis and Mo-
toring Also Occupy Their Attention.

Americans interested in sport, re-
turning from Japan. report that the
Japanese are rapidly assimilating Oc-
cidental sports in general. just as they
did baseball following its introduC-
ton into the land of Nippon. Golf.
tennis, and motoring are all gaining
devotees by the hundreds, and some
of the Japanese players are showing
a proficiency on the court and links
that promises TO make them formid-
able opponents in the course OF a few
years.
In a recent discussion anent sport in
general. and golf in particular. a
prominent Japanese. who was grad
uated from the University OF Pennsyl-
vania not so many years ago. said:
You know we really have no game
perhaps excepting tennis which man
may continue as his years pile up. and
We know that exercise is necessary 10
keep fit. Golf fills the bill for us. As
a nation we are fond of games.
Wrestling and fencing for centuries
have been compulsory in the eduCa-
tion of all japanese gentlemen, and
recent years have seen our schools
taking up baseball. tennis. hockey
and football with very considerable
success"

Archie is enrolled as a lightweight in

Dad Roosevelt stripped at 135 pounds

bunkers and hazards to test the skill
of the best players. Another indication
of strides golf is making in Japan is
the fact that a publication devoted ELL

That the game Will be a success in
Japan, returning tourists say. is GER
tain. They point out that the younger
japanese generation, which was chiefly
educated in the United states and Eng

successful commerce at home means to
