that they allow Cd the japanese TO-
score four runs in their half.
Japanese Team ls Weak
Without T. Moriyama pitching, the
Japanese look wofully weak. Mori.
YANG, NulSida, kaesaka and Fukushi.
ma are the only Japanese pitchers IN
the city who have anything on the
ball, and without good pitching the
Japahese will be out Of luck. The Asa
his. who represent tic younger ele-
ment, have.two good pitchers, which
gives that team plenty Of strength.
With only two real players on the
Team the squad looks as though 1t
would need strengthening. Chinito
Aioriyama Is grand little ball player.
In fact Ne is one OF the leading stars
In Honolulu. T. Moriyama is a good
pitcher, and hurled good ball against
The Ruger Giants, but still was beaten.
With r. Moriyama out of it, the Jap !
anese Team looks ready for stay in
the celler unless the T. party is al
lowed 20 perform on the mound.
