"Ba he" Ruth of its own. The champion
home-run hitter of the far east is X

with a record of six home runs in six
games. He is here today with the Japa-
nese university team on its American
tour. Tanaka. like Ruth. is broad
shoudered and stocky. and plays the
same outfield position as the New
Yorker. He also bats left handed.
Tanaka is what most experts term
a natural hitter and is not plate shy. He
drives at the ball with terrific. free
swing, putting all of the power Of his
broad shoulders into the drive. He
weighs 163 pounds and is five feet six
inches in height.
Every member of the Japanese team
is anxious to see Ruth in action, as his
fame as a home-run hitter is wide
spread wherever base ball is played in
Japan.
The Japanese team opened its Ameri-
can tour here yesterday, losing to the
University of Chicago. a to >. The in
vaders will play Northwestern tniver-
sity this afternoon. Thirty games have
been scheduled for the Waseda players
with college and university teams

last year One was that Joe AcoSta
is pretty capable sort of workman to

other that Jim Shaw should yet prove
of much assistance to the Nationals,
once he really gets into shape.
Shaw pitched impressively for hVe
innings in which he yielded only 1our
scattered. hits and had perfect con-
troll. But Jim's spring" training has
not vet progressed to the point Where
he is ready to go the route. He began
to slip in the sixth and in the follow :
