Jack Fournier, hard-hitting first

tain game staged in the old North
western league. Jack was with the
Portland club at the time, and Seattle
had a young star named George Cap

velous drop-kicker at Minnesota and
was brother Of the speedy Ralph,
who was with the Pirates brief time.
Later on George became coach of the
crack Long Beach (Cal.) High school
football team.
A Seattle man reached first base,
where FOurnier was playing, and Cap
ron came to bat. He hit a sharp
grounder at the Portland shortstop,
who made the attempt to second for
the forceout. The ball was relayed
to Fournier for an attempted double
play, but reached Jack after Capron
had crossed the bag.
Capron made his usual turn, and as
he started to return to first, observed

Ozawa's efforts to obtain citizenship
began here several years ago. The
United States District court for
Hawaii denied his contention and this
decision was upheld by the federal
Circuit court Of the Ninth district
in California From this decision he
appealed to the Supreme court.
Ozawa contended that originally
Japanese were of the white race. He
traced the history of Japan several
thousands Of years to the Ainu tribe
and said that James M. Beck, sole.
itor general of the United States
State department, had expressed the
opinion that that particular branch
Of the Japanese race has characters.

Ozawa came to Hawaii when q
young man and was educated in the
American schools here. In one of the
briefs submitted here Ozawa said
that he had taken special pains
to educate his children in Amer
ican public school In order that
they might become loyal American
citizens, citizenship having. been ac-
quired by them through their birth on
American soil. He said his children
had not been taught the Japanese
language and that nothing pertain

been allowed to creep into their daily
lives, education or theii religion"

ideals, and on the further ground that
