that, 1t is being played by the boys of all the
higher schools of the empire; still more than
that 1t is being played now by almost all the
children of the common schools. It is epidemic
History has it that the first baseball team
in Japan was organized by the officials of the
Shimbash Railway station, in Toxic But
what the historian might call the first real ex-
element in the story Of the American sport
IN Japan came in 1898. 1t had decided touch
of the international about it, too; for in that
year the First Higher School team played
against an American nine. And the japanese
boys were astounded to see themselves emerge
from the contest as victors. That the boys
not only of the First Higher School, but Of all
the colleges and higher institutions of learning
IN Toxic were frantic with enthusiasm is not
unnatural; college boys are enthusiastic beings
anyway. But the surprising thing was that
practically the entire sport loving people of
Toxic, young and old, Joined them in celebrat-
ing their victory. That was something quite
unexpected even by the ball fans themselves.
from that time the game took the schools of
the country by storm.
Then came the great year 1905. In that
year Japan won rather serious war against
hussla. But that was nothing, mere side
snow compared to another event that came to
pass The Waseda University nine visited the
United States and played against number
OF college teams there. Now the Waseda Uni
versity is the one pet child Of the old Marquis
Vkuma, and the old man always loves to pose
before the whole world as the sponsor of all
things Occidental in Japan
The story of the American tour of the Waseda
ooys was not particularly glorious as far as
sne scalps they gathered is concerned 1t was
notaole when one viewed it from the standpoint
OF the lessons in baseball science which the
japanese boys got in this country The effect
o. the tour was revolutionary. In 1907 the
Aeiwo University invited Hawaiian team to
pay series in Toxic and the following year
.ne heiwo nine went over to Hawaii on a re-
,urn visit. In these games the Keiwo boys
nad tho chance of going against some real ball
payers. When. therefore, the Washington Uni

that change happens to be from wrestling to

America.
There is college called the Aoyama Gaku-in

American Methodists. Some thirty years ago,
through one of the younger American instruc-

OF Japanese college boys for the American ma

visitors. They beat the Americans, to the sur
prise of a number of people, including them
selves. The Keiwo boys had just returned from
their Hawaiian experiences and showed how
much they had been benefited by them For
years thereafter these two colleges fought for
the championship OF Japan.
Since then the japanese boys have entertained
many American teams, both professional and
collegian. When the Chicago University nine
went over, in 1915, they made clean sweep
of everything which Japan could put up against
them. The Waseda University team visited
the United States in 1916, and little later
those of the Kewo and of the Meiji universities
came also. Last year the men of Chicago
University were in Japan again. This time
they did not return with clean record They
played eight games in all against the Keiwo,
the Waseda, the Meiji, the Hosei and the I'M
perial University mines, and the result was
four victories, two draws and two defeats.
They were actually beaten twice-once by the
Keiwo and another time by Waseda.
But aside from these flirlations of college
boys with the great American pastme, is there
anything that would justify the query at the
head of this article? Are there any arms point
ing to the ultimate baseball conquest of Japan?
Skeptics might do well to hold tight to their
chairs, for what am about to detail may be
bit too much for their fondest fairy dreams
This for example:
When the Keiwos played against the First
High School, not SO long ago. for the mastery
of Nippon baseball there crowd of some
thing like $4,000 fans who stormed the Keiwo

test their luck and pluck against Yale and
Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins and Georgetown.
There seems to be nothing particularly modest
about their program. On their way back to
the Pacific Coast they will take on Michigan
University, Carnegie Institute and Washington
University Of Seattle.
Just how well or how badly the Waseda stal.
warts will fare is more than the present
prophet dares to essay. To tell the truth the
Waseda boys are here more to learn saan to
conquer. Professor Abe, who is managing the
invaders, is widely known in Japan as 'the
father of japanese baseball" Historical &C,
curacy may question the correctness of the
title But the general run Of Japanese ball
fans know the depth of his devotion to the
game, to its development and its establishment
IN Japan, so they are perfectly happy as long
as the banner-and the title-is in his hand
And every enthusiast in Japan is putting a
white stone on this visit Of the Waseda nine
under Professor Abe as the beginning of
brand new epoch in the story Of the great
pastime.
lneldentally-by way of a by-product Of
their tour-if these Waseda boys succeed in
proving to the American opponents ana N
their American spectators that they can be
quite as normal, quite as foolish, quite as SEN
sible, quite as mad, quite as generous, quite
as sportsmanlike as any American youngsters
could possibly be--in short, if these our boys
succeed IN convincing Americans i'll general
that the heather Jap, in the last analysis, is
human as they are, they will have accom-
plished something which the starched repre-
sentatives of our financial interests here in

COUNTERFEIT REVENUE
STAMPS BRING ARRESTS

Lincezo Grimaldi Of Newark. N. j.,
was arrested at the Union station last
night by Prohibition Agent Stephen
son charged with having counterfeit
revenue stamps for distilled spirits in
his possession.
Grimaldi was hailed before Commits
sioner Isaac X. Hit Immediately. He
made an afiidavit certifying that the
stamps were intended for delivery to
Joe Berodino Of 11S D street. Upon
learning this, Prohibition Agent
henson and Precinct Detective
Rome of the sixth precinct visited the
Berodino house.
The result was the arrest of Bero-
dino and Michele Muelli, charged with
rectifying spirits. A large quantity OF
alcohol. some car0mel coloring, bot
ties. corks, glue. and eight quarts
of gin was con6scated.
The men appeared for preliminary
hearing before Judge Hit at . o'clock
today. When proceedings started it
was discovered that they did not
speak English and an interpreter had
to be called in to aid in the conduct
of the case.
The arrest on possession Of alleged
counterfeit revenue stamps, it is be-
lieved. Is the first OF its kind to occur
in this city. A number Of alleged coun-
terfeit Old Taylor yellow labels, with
warnings not to counterfeit them
printed upon the face, were also
seized.
