in Griffith Stadium this after
noon and with a somewhat
patchy team, too.
Manager Bucky had to shift his
players yesterday, for Harry Davis,
rookie who has been a sensation at
first base this season, was sent to the
bench for further nursing of sprained
wrist It seems that Davis was sent
back to the lineup before the Sprain
had been completely reduced and he
suffered accordingly.
Davis removal necessitated the trans
fer from left field to first base of Bill
Rhiel and the return to that out
field post of Jonathan Stone, still a
bit rocky as the result of back wrench.
Davis is to be out of action the re-
mainder of the Tigers Eastern swing,

ably will have on the pitching hill

Nationals hitless until two were out in

JAPAN HAS SLIGHT
DROP IN BIRTH RATE
Population Increase Still Source of
Anxiety Despite 1881
Figures.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, October 15-The rate at
which Japans population is increasing,
one of the most troublesome factors IN
the worlds unrest, was less for 1881
than for many years preceding. The
government Statistics Bureau has an
nounced that the natural Increase
margin of births over deaths-last year
was only 861, ,543, fewer by 5l,O58 than
for 1890.
Nevertheless, the increase continues
rapidly enough to constitute con-
slant source of anxiety for japanese
statesmen. Four Japanese babies are
born every minute and. since only a
little more than two japanese die in
the same time, almost two new recruits,
statistically speaking, are added to the
swelling ranks of the Emperor'S sub
jects each 60 seconds.
The pressure of population in these
small islands, increasing by nearly a
million a year, underlies many grave
world problems, including Japan's mil
itary occupation of Manchuria.
An increasing death rate is the ex-
planatlOn OF the lower rate OF increase
in 1881, for the number of births con-
tinued to grow. Last year 2,101 ,0O6
japanese babies were born. Is, los more
than in 1880, but death claimed 1,240,-
472 japanese in 1881, or 69,075 more
than in 1890. The Statistics Bureau is
continuing to study the returns to find
the cause of the rising death rate.
During the 10 years, 1921-1930, the
population of Japan proper, not in
cluding Korea, Formosa and lesser de-
pendencies, increased by $8,848,671, an
average of 949,467 each year. much
higher than for any other first-class
nation except the United States, where
the increase was due partly to immi-
grafton. Japan's natural increase
accounts for practically all her popu.
lation changes, because emigration and
immigration are negligible.
