The home-run habit is not entire
ly peculiar to the United States. The
deeds of Babe Ruth have been waited
across the continent and ocean to ia
pan. With the Jap players and fans
the home-run is the big idea at pres
ont.
While the ball used in Japan is not
rs lively as the one used in the
States, you can take it from me il
is mighty good ball. A peculiar
feature of the japanese baseball is
that it is entirely handmade.
\ number of us players made the
trip TO the factory where much of
the sporting goods of Japan is manu-
featured. We marveled most Mt the
making of the ball. Instead of hav-
ing n special machine TO wind the
yarn around the rubber center. the
operation is performed entirely by
hand. 1t is really remarkable how
tightly and evenly the yarn is wound
and how perfectly the ball is when
completed.

fitting and proper that he should be
