A bunch of our professional ball
players are over in the Orient play
ing the Japs and the Filipinos.
The Japs have been playing base
ball for some years now, but, oddly
enough, while the game is not played
in China to anything like the extent
it is played in japan, there have been

all the known records.

one Of several natives of those islands
to take up professional baseball. JOY
was a real good pitcher on the Pacific
Coast, and was sold to the Boston Ma
tlonals, but for some reason he would
never report.

neither sport ever took hold in the
land beyond the Rio Grande.
DOESN'T INTEREST MExICANs.
once the White Sox visited the
city OF Mexico with the idea Of
training there. They attracted very
little attention, and no club has
since repeated the experiment. The
Mexican Just naturally does not care
for baseball, or for much of any
