Japanese Make Smart LntielderS but They're Hard
on Umbires, BasehalS Commodore Perry Re7pals
BY TOM OCHILTREE

A LFRED w. (STUFFY PLACE,
4 n the Commodore Perry of
baseball. thinks the japanese
make smart inf1elders, but admits
they used to be rough on umpires.
In the dining room of his Ir-
vington home, 5452 Lowell-av. this
quiet man, who was Chicago Uni
versity's Jay Berwanger of 1899,
told today how he transplanted
our national pastime into the
cherry blossom land in 1907
A college teammate, Fred Mer-
rifield, had gone out shortly be-
fore him and taught some of the
japanese to throw a baseball, but
when Mr.. Place arrived, there
wasn't one of them could have hit
a balloon with the back end of a
banjo.
There was more to this job than
teaching the little brown men how
to swing on a slow curve or field
bunt.
First was the problem of ter
minology.
Ever since old Abner Doubleday
changed the game one old cat into
plural cats. or baseball, the grand
stand strategists in the United
States have beep bawling advice
to pitchers to feed him that
floater' or make the bum hit"
The fact that history records no
instance when an American pitch
er ever accepted these tips does
not discourage the true fan.
JAPANESE pitchers, in the early
81 days of the game, we're eager
for pointers, however, but there
were no baseball words in their
polite language.
The Sons of the Rising Sun do
have an expression, "kubi kiri,
meaning cut the throat. This was
close enough, and Mr.. Place
shouted this to his fingers when
he wanted them to throw high
fast one.
The term, "ashi chikai," mean
ing leg, was changed to mean,
give him that low one"
This manufactured slang of
mine really changed the Ian
guage," MIR. Place said. People
in the grandstand on hearing me
shout it would start chanting
the words"
This wasn't done to help the
pitcher hear, but to allow the
spectators to learn the game. They
didn't come for entertainment, but
to be instructed, he explained.
Opposition teams never dis
covered these signals, because the
Japanese, for years, would not
play each other, but only Amer
lean teams.
FINALLY a movement was
L started to launch series be-
tween Keio. the oxford of Japan,
and Waseda, the largest private
university, but it hit snag,
Players from both teams called
on the umpire the night before
the game and told him that I'M
less he threw the game they
would put the "kubi kiri'' on him,
and they were using this quaint
term in its original meaning.
Now umpires as a class, even in
Japan, are hardened to a certain
amount of abuse, but. none Of
them like to picture a group of
muScled athletes making passes at
them with knives. Besides you
can't throw a game both ways.
Then the japanese wanted Mr..
Place, who coached the teams in
both schools, to call EN-" but he
declined and shamed the ring
leaders with a lecture on sports
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-11-28

manship Later the series was
started, and now championship
game draws 10000 people, he said.
Coping with the Oriental ego
was a much harder problem, Mr..
Place admitted.
After Keio had beaten Honolulu,
both schools invited the Univer-
sity of Washington over for a
series. The Nipponese were too
clever for the Westerners and beat
them in 10 straight games. Then
they trounced Wisconsin and Cali
fornia in 10 straight.

University played representa-
tive game"
He could give only one answer
to that question, and shortly the
Maroons invaded the country.
So there could be no question
about this series, the japanese al
lowed Mr.. Place to coach the Chi
cago boys for a month before the
game.
After staging Garrison finishes
in every contest, Chicago, led by
Pat Page, former Butler coach,
swept the series and saved, for all
time, the faces of the CaucaSianS.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-11-28

" A BOUT that time, the Japa-
L a nese were getting pretty
hard to live with" he said. These
two teams figured they were in
vincible.
"At the conclusion of these
series, 1 wrote lengthy magazine
articles explaining my strategy,
and just to keep up the prestige
of the white race, I added that
none of these teams were repre-
sentative of American baseball"
Naturally the NipponeSe tired
of these remarks, and finally asked
Mr.. Place if his own Chicago

required for title consideration.
Others on the Green card are
Cathedral, Manual, Washington and
Shortridge, city rivals.
Tech is one team especially hard
hit by the school boards ruling pro-
hibiUing city elevens from opening
the season before the last week in
September and limits the campaign
to eight games.
Tech Gets Late Start
When indianapolis high schools
schedule out state teams for early
season games, they know the oppo-
nents viii have two or more games
under their belts. This will be true
next fall when Tech opens against
jefferson of Lafayette Sept. Is and
takes on Richmond and Muncie on
the next two week-endS.
Inability to play more than eight
games also nullifies any hopes of IN
dianapolis schools participating in
post-Season charity or champion
ship games. 1t had been rumored
the board might change the rule,
but the schedules show no lndica-
ton of progress.
Washington and Manual will play
the same opponents they met this
season, Directors Russell Clunle OF
the Redskins and Justin Marshall OF
the West Siders revealed. Washin-
ton has a difficult program, in that
all it's city games fall either at HON
or away each year and Mr.. Marshall
is confronted with the problem OF
trying to get other city schools to
shift or book other attractions. Ne2t
wear all the games are at the West
Side field.
Cathedral Needs Opener
Brother Octavius and Coach Joe
Dienhart of Cathedral have an
eight-game card completed but plan
to shift Noblesville to the bottom
and play some other team Sept. %
if possible. The Irish end MlllerS
are bitter rivals and late season
game would be natural, Otherwise
the Irish card is the same as this
season.
Director Russell S. Julius OF
Shortridge announced completed
schedule of the same teams as last
season.
Broad Ripple opened with Culver
in 1885 but will not play the Cadets
next year, Coach Ed Diederlch
stated, taking on the Silent HoosierS
of the State Deaf School in the
season finale instead. There is one
open date on the Ripple card that
Diederich hopes to fill with Column
bus. Connersville or some school
that will develop into a natural
rival.
