If vote for the hard-luck team
of 1851 were taken among commu-
nifty sports fans, the Nisei Vets
baseball team would certainly be
a leading contender for the dubi-
Gus honor,
Tho Vets began the 1851 season
with a good deal of optimism, figur-
ing to have highly-succeSsful
year. They had every right to be
confident as they were actually the
cream of local Nissi talent.
This bumper crop of players was
brought together on one team this
year with the merger of the Yves
tern Giants, top Northwest team of
so, with the runners-up OF last year
1850, the Nisei Veterans. Whether
this combining of two former enc
my aggregations into one was a
reason for some of the misfortunes
that followed is a moot question.
Well-known names included in
the new squad were Ray Saito, per-
haps the best all-around Nisei ball
player of this area; Heat Heyamoto,
former wv shortstop and a top
hitter; Rich Tsuji, leading Giant
hurler; Edo Sasaki and Joker Shi-
mizu, highly-rated NVC chuckers;
Tommy pegpchi and Ted shinoda.

the Savoys defeated Enumclaw, Sc
attic Monarchs, University Mer-
chants, and the Queen Anne Mer-
chants (the ultimate champs)
while losing to the Sand Point Ma
val Air Station and SnohomiSh.
The 6-3 record was good enough to
keep them we'll up in the first di-
vision in the tight pennant struggle.
The pattern for the Savoys' vic
tories was about the same in every
game, featuring great pitching by
Standen and clutch hitting and
fislding by his teammates. The key
word in their attack was hustle.
Player manager George Nakaga-
wa did a great job in getting the
most from his men. With a roster
of light-hitting players, the Nisei
nine had to take advantage of every
break to keep up with its rivals.
Nakagawa and Pancho Nakashi-
ma, veteran first baseman, held
the infield together with their stea-
dy performances, while in the out
field HOWE Inouye and Larry Asa
ba were the mainstays. The catch
ing spot was held down by reliable
Hank Shibuya. Others rounding
out the roster were infielders Ken
Yoshinaka, Bobby Kodama, Fumio
Shibata, Roland KumaSaka and
outfielders Jumbo Osawa, Ray Ota-
nj, Min Yoshino, and Art Watana-
be.
Hiro Sasaki, backing up Standen
on the mound, came through with
some good hurting, especially in re-
lief.
At the beginning of the second
round, the Savoys received the blow
which really put a crimp in their
championship fight-the drafting
into the armed forces of ace pitcher
Standen. The tall highlander was
around to hurl the 'Voys to their
second win over the WV nine but

One OF the years surprise teams
in the Seattle NiSei sporting world
during 1851 was the youthful Savoy
baseball club in the Puget Sound
Semi-Pro Baseball league.
With the failure of the communi-
ty to provide an organized league
for interested players, the Savoys
in order to play ball were forced to
join the tough semi-pro circuit as
a last resort. They were not given
outside chance to make a good
showing despite ,he fact that they
had won two successive pennants
in the Northwest Times Baseball
league. But when the season was
into the record books, the 'Voys had
ended up in fourth place and with
a little luck could have made an
even better showing.
Although the Nisei squad opened
play in the PSI with a go win
over the Lewis Ford VFW, the team
didn't attract much attention. How
ever in the succeeding week when
they extended the experienced and
highly-favored Nisei Vets to IL in
nings before going down, 4-3, in a
bitterly-fought battle, people were
beginning to think that maybe the
Savoys had something.
Then in their league contest a.

feats and at one time went into "a
fivs-game losing streak. They fl
nally began to click as the slate
drew to a close The Nisei nine fl
nished the season looking more like
the team it was expected to be and
was finally getting a few breaks
The teams season record in PSI
play was 8 victories and 10 losses.
The bright spot for the NVC-
sponsored nine during 1851 was its
play against out-oS-town Nisei
teams. The local Vets played the
Portland Vets twice in Seattle and
twics in the Rose City and made an
easy sweep of the four-game series.
Likewise, they handily trounced a
visiting club from Vancouver, BIC,
in both ends OF a twin bill, giving
them a perfect record against out
side competition.
If it weren't for a split with the
Savoys, the Nisei Vets of Seattle
could have laid claim to being the
best Nisei team in the Pacific
Northwest for 1851 At least, it is
something they can look forward
to getting in the new year. Although
the old year hasn't been very kind,
there is always new hope when an
other year rolls ageand

All in all, however, it was a re-
markable record to be registered
by such an inexperienced team a.
gainst such tough opposition.
With the prospect of the draft
facing other members of the team,
it is doubtful whether the Savoys
will ever field the same team that
went through the 1851 campaign
but they certainly left a mark for
themselves in the history of Seattle
Nisei sports.

Guild Supports Bills

A bill (H. r. 7799 to authorize
the appropriation of funds for
the establishment of the Smith
sonian Gallery of Art as part OF
a National War Memorial in the
District of Columbia, was in
troduced in the House of Rep
resentativeS on May IL by Rep

publican, of Pennsylvania and
was reported in these columns

second bill (H. R. 1869. iden-
tical in language, was presented
by Representative Emanuel Gel
Ter, Democrat, of New York.
The Artists Guild of Wash
ington on June 5 passed a reSo-
luton in support of these bills
now pending before Congress.
The resolution points out the
lack of a national gallery for
contemporary art, and the Fed
eral Governments non-activity
in otherwise encouraging living
artists, such as purchasing works
of art, awarding scholarships,
holding exhibitions of contem-
porary art and employing art
lists, whereas the arts of archi-
lecture and literature are en-
couraged by. respectively. the
construction of public buildings
and the Library of Congress.
The guild in it's resolution calls
upon Congress to enact the
bills introduced last month,
which would effectively amend
the Public Resolution No. 95
(75th Congress) approved May
II. 1888.
The establishment and ope-
ration of a national gallery Of

When the Corcoran Gallery's

Franz Bader, director of the
Whyte Gallery, invited the art
critics Of The Star, Post and

young artists whost contribu-

From these lists, the Whyte
Gallery invited 10 artists to
contribute two or three paint
ings each. Their response COM
poses the present exhibition

A second view of these young
Washington artists seems to me
to justify their selection. The

is considerable variety in their
conceptions. Helene McKinsey's
