expected to arrive here from Japan

also other eastern tournaments.
Kashlo says that Kumagae could not
arrange his affairs to get away as he
expected and was forced to call off
the entire trip.
Last season Knumagae was in san

the biggest sensation In tennis In
years by winning n place among the
ten leading players. lie defeated
Billy Johnston. Peck Griffin and
other stars in important tournament
play, and was ranked No. 6. He was

BASEBALL IS CARRIED
BY EUROPEAN PAPERS

With the advent of the first in
stallment of American troops in
France there has come to the English
and French papers an entirely new
line OF sporting news. which now
finds place in recent issues of news
papers from those countries brought
over in the late malls.
Both the London and Paris papers
now publish the daily scores of the
games in both the National and
American baseball leagues to satisfy
the demands OF the boys at the front
who retain all their interest in the
diamond game, and desire above all
the current news to know how the
races in those leagues are coming on.
Recent letters from medical and
ambulance units tell of the forma-
ton of baseball clubs at every sta
ton where there are American or
Canadian troops and of interregi-
mental games between members of
the troops now in training prepara-
tory to contetss with the Canadian
ball players.
