daughters OF the Netherlands min
lister: Miss Natalie Hammond, Miss
Helen Carusi. and Miss Ellen Blair.
Members of the Women's Nafional
Press Club. by whom charming
little Nine. Matsudaira was enter
tanned at luncheon on Monday. will
also be guests of Mrs. Burnett to-
day.
Nine. Matsudaira and Mrs. Bur-
nett are close friends, their ac-
Quaintance dating from the time
that Colonel Burnett was military
attache at our embassy in Tokyo.
Indeed. when Mrs. Burnett's sue
cess with the difficult and lovely
art Of writing Japanese poetry reused
the interest of the Empress Of
Japan, it was Nine. Matsudaira, then
interpreter to the court as well as
lady in waiting, who acted as go-
between in all the intercourse be-
tween her majesty and the gifted
little American lady.
Cherry Blossom Season Brings
Exchange of Lovely Verses.
Mrs. Burnett still keeps up her
verse making in Japanese when oc-
casion offers-and she regards
cherry blossom time as an occasion.
Back in Japan one Of her great
friends was Baroness Takeko. Kuio,
sister-in-laW OF the Empress, who
is a celebrated beauty, a gifted
poetess and altogether figure of
romance throughout Japan. To-
gether the two used to visit Kyoto,
ancient capital OF Japan and all
the other places Famous for their
cherry blossoms. So now the
Baroness each spring sends to her
American friend the first BLOSSOM
from her own cherry trees.
This year the little memento
came with the following lovely bit
Of verse.
"When cherries bloom over the
pathway Of dreams-of-spring
You will come back to me-"
To which Mrs. Burnett has made
answer:
From ancient times to the flower
capital
Go the lovers Of the cherry flowers.
All! But before they have blOssomed
even
Goes my heart flower-viewing in
dreams"
These translations-they are Mrs.
Burnett's not mine, I'll confess
are extremely free. Indeed. 1t Is
almost impossible to translate Japa-

A mi, y una gran parte del

BIG SERIES TOSS UP,
is M'GRAW'S OPINION


NEW YORK, September 25.
Far from being downhearted
over the defeat of his club i'm the
National League race for the first
time i'm years. John McGraw,
gray-haired manager of the New
York Giants, regards the triumph
of the Pittsburgh club as a good
tonic" for base ball.
"Of course, / was eager to set a
record of FIVE straight pennants
and get another crack at the Sen
atOrs," said McGraw today. but
having got over the shock of hav-
ing that ambition blocked l am
ready to admit that base ball.
perhaps even the New York fans
were tired of the continuance of
Giant supremacy.
II confess that the victory of
the Pirates should be a good tonic
for National League base ball.
Barney Dreyfuss' outfit certainly
knocked at the door long enough,
and at last we had to let them in"
McGraw views the outcome of
the world series as a tOss-up. He
pointed out that Pittsburgh will
enter the annual classic under the
handicap of facing new expert
ence, but that the clubs hitting
strength and excellent pitching
should offset this.
Washington, he added, also has
formidable twirling and the all
important factor of steadiness.
"Steadiness won the pennant for
Bucky Harris" said McGraw, .'and
Johnson and COveleslsie, the clubs
star righthanders, may decide the
series i'm their favor. / don't fancy
Ruether and Zachary against Pitts
burgh. The Pirates murder south
paw pitching"
Wright, shortstop, and Cuyler,
outfielder, are the main cogs of
Pittsburgh's attack and defense i'm
McGraw's opinion.

n EW YORK, September Is
IN When the Washington Amer
icans-winners of their league
championship, by virtue of yester
days results-clash with the Pitts
burgh Nationals in the world series
in October :here will be no odds
either way except those based upon
bettors' individual admiration OF one
team or the other
If all the players are intact and
without broken bones, bets are even,
The strong suit of Washington has
been batting. 1t is the same with
Pittsburgh.
On the whole. there are points
about the Nationals pitching that has
excelled the twiriing of the Pirates.
but Pittsburgh has shown faster
work in base running.
Washington had TO fight from be
hind to win the league pennant. So
did Pittsburgh.
Who won the championship for
Washington?
The team, of course, but If you set
tie down and balance the books and
consider the conditions before the race
began, you must give Coveleskie much
individual credit.
The 20 games won by the former
Cleveland pitcher if taken away from
Washington total or added TO the
record of Cleveland, would have
changed the whole race.
Three pitchers of the Washingtons
--Coveleskie, Ruether and Johnson
total 5S victories out Of all the team
has won. Harris has put it all over
the men who said he was signing an
old mans home for 1925. because he
has the pennant and the old men. too.
So far as the Pirates are concerned.
fheB, frequently have had to bat their
ganfes out when the twfrlers were
shdky near the end of the day, while
the Grifmen frequently have found
their twirlers going better toward the
finish.
1t isn't every world series contend
er that gains a pennant in one day by
winning two games itself and having a
kindly soul kill off the club next to 1t,
which is what happened yesterday
when the Nationals ground a ton of
sand into the heart of Cleveland in a
double bill while st. Louis was simul-
taneously Slamming the Athletics.
At the same time the days results
settled the Giants in second place.
The Cincinnati team will toddle
through in third place and st. Louis
probably in fourth. That settles the
diYyY
