Baseball is the great American Na tional game, but that this does not prohibit its emigration to foreign lands was ably demonstrated yesterday at Recreation Park when the Keio Uni versity defeated Columbia University. 3 to 3. It was a game in which the Japanese had a chance to show that they have mastered the finer points of the game. The brown men from across the sea knew almost all about baseball. Only one oddity was noted. Kashimsta bunted on a. third strike and fanned. But that was more than buried in the mass of good baseball which the Keio collegians displayed. iMhlkawa Man of Curves. Ishikawa knows all about the curve, the drop and the spit ball and he uses them much to the chagrin of his opponents. The Japanese allowed five of the Cplumbia men to get safe hits off him. Keio also showed proficiency in the field. Mori, the shortstop, made a beau tiful catch of Bernhofer's fly In the eighth. The speed of the Keio players was another feature. One or two base run ners of the type the Japs would make wou'd be a valuable addition to any team. Captaht Tvrirls Today. Captain Sugase. first baseman of the Keio club, played liis post in style that would be becoming to any player who has grown up with the game on American soil. He looked pleasing on first, but today he will pitch against the Aggies. The team left last night for Cor vallis. where the Oregon Agricultural College will be met today. While in Portland the Japanese were feted by the local Japanese colony.

Special Corre spondent of Japan Advertiser, Says Team lVos From Portland Boya Through Poor Offense of Latter Team. BT TATSU KIMISHIMA. Of University. Tokyo, Japan. Special Corre- spondent, Japan Advertiser. TTO weeks have already elapsed X since we arrived at Vancouver. We have played six games, losing the first five and winning the first game yes terday from the Columbia University. By this I do by no means pretend to say that the Columbia collegians are a weak team. We are juet coming to form from the last five games played, for we have had hardly any practice since we last played against the Chicago-New Tork world's baseball tour teams, on December. 1913. which game we lost 16 to 3. I am questioned as to how I classify the local collegians. Well. I think our victory was due to the weak offense of the Columbia players; and one thing, our boys played the best ball since they landed. For a -week after our teams arrived we were unable to get our sea legs off. Furthermore, we were unable to hit the ball. Our destination is Stanford UniversUy and we are try ing to be in form by the time we reach Palo Alto. Of the party of 13. four have made the trip once before; to the rest, the country is a new place. Strange sur roundings and different customs and manners frequently embarrass our men. "We hear of & great deal of anti-Japanese spirit in the country. We have learned that this is not found spread throughout the land, but is of a local nature. Our aim In making these trips Is to show the Japanese students the col lege life of America: nay, more than that, to learn to understand the Amer ican spirit. We want to carry back the news to our land, to our people, for we" deem It our duty and we are able to aid to some extent in order to fulfill this mission. Hitherto we have been treated better than we deserve by the foreigners and our countrymen, for which we are very grateful. We hope to discover nly good and nothing bad in our trip. We intend to stay in America through the month of May and return to our country so that we may reach our uni versity in order to be in time for our examinations. Wo had planned to make an Eastern trip, but on account of the short space 'i (.line t&nu me lacurty insisting, we rogret that we have to cut that nai-t and have our schedule limited to the rucirio tjoast.

The suit prayed that the Federal Leaguers be re strained from attempting to get those players or from other alleged attempts to Interfere with the business of the Philadelphia Nationals.

It was ex pected that preliminary hearing might be obtained tomorrow. The petition for a restraining order recites Ills that have been suffered by the Philadelphia club because of the Federal League, asserting that the new league, "well knowing of the exist ence of contracts between the com plainant and each of the ball players, conspired to induce the ball players to leave complainant's service." "In furtherance of the conspiracy, the defendants offered large pecuniary reward to the players and succeeded in inducing Seaton, Knabe, Doolan and Brennan to withdraw from the com plainant's service and Join the defend ant's service. At the same time. Seaton and Doolan had agreed with the complainant on the amount of sal ary for 1914." Tinker Says All 3Ien O. K. I. CHICAGO.

Granted fa vorable weather conditions the 16 clubs composing the National and American Leagues will open the 1314 baseball season tomorrow afternoon. The forecast Is for sunny skies but cold weather in most of the cities where games are to be played. The season will mark the 39th year of play in the National League and the 14th in the American League. During last Winter many changes! occurred in the major leagues. The Federal League obtained from the older organizations a number of vet erans and promising recruit players. The various National league club3 face the season In tho following con dition: . New York The National League pennant winners of 1913 present vir tually the same lineup as a year ago. with the exception of Herzog, now managing Cincinnati, and Stafer. In Mathewson. Demaree, Marquard. Tesreau and Kromme the Giants have a. string of clever, experienced twlrlers, with several promising recruits in re serve. Philadelphia Shot to pieces in the raids of the Federal League, the Phila delphia National League team has re formed its lines. Manager Dooln has Bobby Byrne, a seasoned player, to fill Knabe's pluce at second and la using Ireland and Murphy, youngsters, at shortstop. In pitching. Alexander and Chalmers, veterans, will be depended on. Younger pitchers Include Mayer, Marshall. Oeschger, Glbbs, Mattlson and Tincup. the Indian. Cuba Have New Manager, Chicago The Cubs will start the season with a new manager, an infield new in its combination and & pitching staff of veterans. The makeup of the inner line of defense finds only Zim merman in a place familiar to him. With Humphries. Vaughn, Cheney and Lavender ready to take regular turns on the slab, and & reserve squad the club is fortified with pitchers. Har grove, as a catcher of merit, makes the catching department look strong, with Archer and Bresnahan in shape. Pittsburg. The Pirate Infield, with Konetchy, Viox and Mowrey guarding the bags and the veteran Wagner at short, will be as strong on the defense as offense. Gibson, veteran, and Cole man and Brenegan, recruits, will catch. In the outfield. Carney is the onlv player sure of a place. Mitchell and Jim Kelly are likely candidates for the other places. McQuillan. Adams. O'Toole and Harmon will be regular pitchers. Kantlehner and Cooper, young left-handers, will have to show big league caliber. Much is expected of Kantlehner. Delhi and Conselman are expected to show improvement. Duffy and Mam max are undeveloped. Boston Almost Made Over. Boston. With a team that has been practically made over since 'he took charge last season. Manager Stalllngs predicts that Boston will finish at least fourth. The accession of Johnny Evers. crack second baseman and manager of the 1915' Chicago Cubs, and the result ant loss of Bill Sweeney, was the most notable change In the team. Much Is expected by local fans from mid-Infield Ilay of Evers and young Maranvtlle. Recruits will cover the other Infield positions, Schmidt at first and Deal at third. Manager StaJllngs has shaped his outfield for speed with good batting propensities, with Gilbert at center. Griffith at right and Connolly at left. Whaling is first-string catcher, with Gowdy as second choice. The pitchers Include Tyler, Perdue. Rudolph and Hess, with Cooreham. Melkle. Crutch era and Beck as possibilities. Brooklyn With Gilbert Robinson as manager, Brooklyn will have a base ball general and material for a fast combination. The team is strong in battery and infield material. In Rucker, Reulbach. Ragan. Wagner, Brown and Altchlson. the Brooklyn Club has six twlrlers who should work successfully. The Superbas have Mc Carthy. Fischer. Miller and Irwin, all dependable catchers. The infield combination of Daubert. Cutshaw, Kgan and Smith, with Hum mel and Elberfeld in reserve is a strong lineup. The outfield is not bo impressive, but in Dalton. Stengel and Wheat, the Superbas have excellent players. Cincinnati The Cincinnati National League team this year will have a new leader In Charles Herzog, formerly of the New York Giants. The probable lineup will bo Hob litzell. lb; Groh. 2b; Herzoc. ss. c, and manager; Niehoff. 3b: Marsans. If; Bates, cf; Moran. rf; Yingllng. Johnson and Benton, pitchers and Clarke, c. Cardinal's Strength I ncertaln. St. Louie The strength of the St. Louis clubs Is an uncertain quantity on the eve of the new season. During the ante season games with the St. Louis Browns, Miller at first. Leuter at short, Dolan and Manager Huggins proved a fast fielding combination. Two new players. Wilson, center, and Crulz. right, have shown well. With Lee Magee at left, the trio appears stranger than in past seasons. The battery squad includes Robin' son. Steele, Perritt. Griner. Hopper and Hagerman. Wlngo nnd O'Connor will take turns with mask and mitt. American League Philadelphia Tl-.e Philadelphia Americans stand pa on the team that won the championship of the world for the Quaker City in 1913. This year Bender and Plank win again be the mainstays of the pitch ing corps. Mack is relying much upon Bush. Shawkey. and Brown. Ira Thomas the new captain of the Ath letics, expects to keei the players "on their toes." Washington With but one reliable veteran pitcher and practically the same lineup man for man, the second place uroacecU of UUa .W&solcKton Get That Made Milwaukee Famous! American League ball club are not bi-IShU Manager Griffith has failed to strengthen the setting department. In the pitching department Walter Johnson is the only real veteran. The most promising youngsters are Shaw. Ayers. Bentley, a southpaw, and Har per, another portslder. The outfield will be Moeller, right; Milan, center; Shanks, left. The infield will line up: Gandill. lb: Morgan. 2b; Foster. Sb; Captain McBride. i. Behind the bat Griffith is well fortified, having Henry, Ains niith and Alva Williams. Cleveland'a Future la Dark. Cleveland The future of the Cleve land Americans who played third last year is problematical. Pitchers Fred Blanding and George Kahler. right landers, jumped to the federals and then back to Cleveland. The courts may now enjoin them. Manager Bir mingham will have Cullop and James, experiments iat year, to help out Gregg. Mitchell and Steen. Gregg and Mitchell are star left handers and Steen Is a good right hinder, and Hagerman. Collamoor, Brown, young sters. Outside of the box the team is prac tically the same. Shortstop Chapman is Injured and will be out until June. Infielder Olson will fill his place. Youngsters are: Woods. Infielder; Dunlap. infielder; Bllllnts, catcher; Bassler. catcher. Lelivelt and Knight are pinch hitters. Boston With three star players con valescent, the Boston Red fox will be handicapped. Trls Speaker has had a cold. Joe Woods has been operated on for appendicitis and Captain Wagner, the shortstop, baa rheumatism. Everett Scott will play short; Engle. first; Ycr kes, second base, and Gardner, third. The outticld is composed of Speaker. Hooper and Lewis. Manager Carrlgan will head the catching staff of four, including Cady. Thomas and Nuna maker. Four veteran pitchers remain besides Wood, Collins, Bedient, Leonard and Foster, with Johnson Kelly, of last year's Seattle team, and Zeiser as candidate pitchers. White Sox Seem Mrong. Chicago If the White Sox have add ed a bit of batting power and a little more speed on the base lines they are likely to prove factors In the race. The pitching staff is dangerous to batting averages with Russell. Scott. Clcotte Benz. Lathrop and Roth In shape. Ray Schalk Is expected to catch. The ad dition of Daly, a good hitter, to the backstop department, makes him valu able. Detroit For the first time in four years the Detroit Tigers will open the American League playing season with out George Mullin on the pitching mound. John Dubuc Is the ranking pitcher. The opening game will find Cobb, Crawford, Stanate, Bush and possibly Moriarity and Veach in their regular positions. First and second base are doubtful. Gainer may play the Initial sack, Yitt or Baumann will play sec ond unless Kavanaugh is well. Mori arity may play third. Veach la the only outfielder fighting for his job. New York The New York American League club, under Frank Chance, has a virtually new lineup. With the ex ception of Roy Hartzoll. second base: Ed bweeney. catcher, and several pitch ers, the personnel joined the club late last season or this Epring. Chance appears to have a fairly satis, factory. luhing staXC Kith King .Cole,. It contains only 4 1-2 alcohol. Light wines contain 10.
