~ YER in Japan the boys and
girls who are looking for
ward to a big time when
~ their nation plays host to
the Olympics in 1910 are making
unkind statements about the gentle
men who have charge Of arranging
the big party. They aren't mattering,
apparently, for news reports say that
Toxic papers are rocking the Japanese
Olympic Committee with bitter blasts.
But people everywhere commented
unkindly about the Los Angeles affair
before it was put across in splendid
style in 1882, and even some Germans
had the temerity TO question the ex-
pense Of preparations for last Sum-
mer's Berlin spectacle until Herr
Hitler put the bee on them.
As to this Japanese dis
gruntlement, there may be more
smoke than fire. Hir0shi SaitO,
Ambassador from Japan, Ger
tainly gave that impression at
the District A. A. U. dinner
here.
The suaye Japanese in speech
marked as much by its humor as its
instructive nature certainly sold the
1910 Olympiad to his listeners. Listen
ing to the Ambassador, one felt that
the quadrennial games instead of be-
ing made political festival for the
glorification of the host country as
was so evident at the Hitlerized Ber-
lin spectacle actually would be a
gathering of grand sportsmen with
every competitor getting fair break
regardless Of country, race, color or
creed

Farr Triumph Thrills British Pitcher Headache Mock

got back I saw it was all up when
player after player told me the story
and refused to stay If Rube was kept.
So, against my wishes, sold Rube
to st. Louis for a nominal sum.
His arm never got over that acci-
dent, but he still was good enough to
set his 16-strikeout record against us
in 1908.
Rube never pitched like a south
paw. Nobody could throw a curve
like him and he had binding speed.
He threw entirely overland where
most southpaws strictly were side
armers.
Rube could break a curve from
shoulder to waist or waist to ankle.
He was a left-hander throwing
right-handed. That's as close as can
come. I've seen them all from Rad
bourne on down, but he was best. Yet
color or no color, had to let him 20,
and I'll take modern players with less
eccentricities, thank you.

Olympiad an Ideal War"

THE olympiad is war, but war
Of the kind civilized nations
should be proud to pursue" according
to the AmbasSa dor. "A war in which
the combatants struggle for an ideal
greater than that usually dominating
sanguinary conflict. The ideal of fair
play and equality for all
Japan, he said, meant to stage the
Olympiad with that ideal uppermost.
1t will not be Japanese Olympiad,
but rather a world Olympiad with the
japanese doing all in their power to
make the athletes of all nations feel
thoroughly at home.
Hiroshi Ssito Interestingly sketched
his nations great progress in sport
in the brief time since Commodore
Perry opened the doors Of the Island
Empire to the world less than a CEN

Up to that time the Japanese
had enjoyed only sports called
by the Ambassador "feudal"
Competition in them was re-
stricted to comparatively small
portion of the population.
But with the coming of the Ameri-
cans the japanese took to sports
earnestly until now they are to be
recognized as among the leading
athletic nations Of the world.
I'VE are grateful to America for
one great sport, base ball" the Am
bassador acknowledged. There is a
game that every nation should have.
We diplomats of the Japanese service
know Of none greater. I do not believe

the game has grown in my country.

instead Of armies representative ball

Fencing ever has been a popular
pastime in Japan, but the boys across
the Paciflc-yes, and the girls, too
have picked up many other sports in
recent years and become exceptionally
proficient in them. The Ambassador
mentioned with pride that his country
not only would be prepared to give the
visiting athletes a great reception in
Toxic, but plenty competition, too
They may be complaining about the

they had heard the news.

when he gave up the idea of re-

Tonypandl, Wales. At the same time,
If you take Baer's word for it, the

as anything but plodder. England S

It Was TMrkeyDayF For
Superior Court Today:
GObbIer Struts Stuff

It was turkey day in Vance Superior
Court today as huge, dignified COB
bier strutted his stuff inside the bar
and law suit ragged about who own
ed him. After prosecution testimony
was completed, Judge Henry A. Grady
ordered a verdict of not guilty for
Weldon Carter, young white man,
charged with the theft of the bird
from P. G. Fits.
Carter formerly worked for Fits
and the latter's wife, and then he left
their employ and went with Herbert
Faucette, who last year tended the old
county home property several miles
west of the city.
Some time after Carter left, Fits
claimed a turkey was missing from
his flock, and he contended the big
gobbler that figured in the evidence in
court was his property.
Fits was among the witnesses ap-
pearing in the case. The gobbler,
which has long been more or less a
pet in the Carter household, was
stroked and fondled by Fits, who
called him Big Jimmy" The gobbler
was gentle as a kitten. He was
