japanese Team e Weak,
Without r. Moriyama pitching, the
Japanese look wofully weak. Mori
yama, Nushida, kaesaka and Fukushi-
ma are the only Japanese pitchers in
the city who have anything on the
ball. and without good pitching the
Japanese will be out of luck. The Asa
his, who represent tho 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 it
would need strengthening Chinito

in fact, he is one of the leading stars
In Honolulu. T. Moriyama is a good
pitcher, and hurled good bali against
the Ruger Giants. but still was beaten.
With T. Moriyama out of it, the Jap
anese team looks ready for stay in
the celler unless the T. party is al
lowed to perform on the mound.
