Sox-Olants' world's tour.
TOKIO, Dec. 7. (Special.) Japan
has seen America's National game and
Is satisfied. Ten thousand brown men
made the hills at Keio rock trying to
rattle a Yankee pitcher, only to see its
crack team to go down to defeat by the
decisive score of 16 to 3. They do not
grow big in this country, but they are
long on nerve and have a supreme con
fidence In themselves.
Before the White Sox and Giants
came Into port the prospective hosts
had let it be known, that they expected
to win or at least keep the score
mighty close. Keio University team
was picked to do the job, but the com
pletion, of It is left to future genera
tions, even though this spunky bunch
of collegians played a game that was
a Tevelation to the major leaguers.
They have all the motions of the "pro,"
know how to use their heads and feet
to best advantage, with the chances In
their favor of becoming real ball
players.
The Keio team is really the best that
Japan affords in the baseball line. Of
course Waseda may dispute this, but
the fact remains that American critics
hero, fans who know the game, award
the palm to Keio, so Keio must be
given the honors of playing the most
advanced game in Japan today.
Japanese Will Bat.
There has been much argument In
the past whether the Japanese ever
will become strong batters. The chances
are that they will. This is McGraw's
and Callahan's opinion after having
sized them up before one of the best
pitchers in the United States. It is
true that Jim Scott, who was pitted
against the Nipponese, was a little sea
sore, but at that his arm was not lame,
and towards the close of the battle he
whizzed them over In all his major
league form. The fact that he struck
out the last three men who faced him
should not be counted against the Jap
anese, for up to that time they picked
out the good ones and let the bad ones
go by, and that was what made a hit
with the Sox and Giants and made the
players prophesy that Japan will turn
out some great ballplayers before
many years.
There was no question about the col
legians being nervous besides being
nervy. They had the confidence all
right, but this did not prevent them
from being shaky in their knees when
Jim Scott got busy with his "round
house" curve. Still their heads never
quit working. They were on the Job-
every minute, whether at bat or on the
bases. Once they caught such a wise
head as Trls Speaker off second and
completed a double play that was a
corker. They ran bases with the best
and stole on such a good catcher as
Ivy Wingo. They did this by taking
as long a chance as anybody at first.
Infield Work la Smooth.
Naturally after watching Lobert,
Doyle, Weaver, Merkle and Doolan per
form in the infield and Crawford and
Speaker in the outfield, the work of
Keio might have looked a little crude
to the critics, but even with these
stars to set the pace the work of the
collegians did not look bad. The n
fleld work was smooth. They played
for each batter as much as any ad
vance Information aided them and for
the rest they depended on which side
or the plate the batter stood and took
their chances with that. The outfielders
covered more ground than the average
American college player, although the
rignt newer had trouble of his own,
which was not to be wondered at with
a morning Bun shining In his eyes.
Playing this field made Sam Craw
ford remark:
"And to think that I came 7000 miles
to play the sun field.
The players had plenty of assistance
from the fans. Don't think that the
Japanese is not a rooter.. When any
thing out of the ordinary happens In
the game he can give cards and spades
to the American. Thus when Morrl
got his three-bagger right off the reel
off Scott the stand and bleacher crowds
went stark mad. They howled. Jumped
ana aancea ana undoubtedly a few re
marks went Scott's way. That which
beggars description followed right af
ter wnen IviyaKas single scored him
Here were the pick of the two greatest
teams In America, and Keio was on the
road to victory. Togo's hitting against
the Russians was nothing like this. It
looked like a walkover and-had it been
brought to a successful conclusion the
Americans In Japan might Just as well
nave taaen tne nrst boat home.
Pitcher Wears Glasses.
The Japanese battled vallantlv to the
end. But the Americans soon openeS
up a cannonading on Captain Sugasl, a
sunoiany-iooKing young man with
glasses, which he carried with him to
the box. Sugasl had a wide assort
ment of benders, especially an under
hand shoot on which Wingo, Doolan
and weaver bit.
The crowd, after all, was the real
background to the picture. It showed
that baseball is the coming game in
this country. The fans came early to
tne rirst gam. which was played Sat'
urday afternoon, shortly after the ar
rival of the Sox and Giants on Satur
day. It was found most convenient to
play the game at the Keio University
grounds In Tokio. As the schedul
had been upset by the lateness of the
ship, one game was played on Saturday
and two on Sunday, the Sunday morn
ing game being billed with the Keio
team. In order not to make any false
moves in a new country trie managers
"took the pick of both teams and the
collegians could at least say It was no
disgrace to be beaten by such a buncb
of major leaguers as Speaker. Craw
ford. Doyle, Lobert, Doolan and Scott.
The oratorical efforts of Umpire
Klem made as big a hit as did the
playing. His announcement of the man
agers, batteries and then each batter
took the fancy of the crowd and It did
not take long for the fans to get onto
what he was saying. The Japs are
great little imitators, likewise mimics,
and the game had not progressed more
than an Inning before "You're out" and
"Strike one" reached around the field.
The Japanese are not always sitting
down. Sometimes they stand up and
there was an uprising every time a
Japanese player hit the ball or caught
a fly.
Fana Fair to Visitors.
They were also fair to the visitors.
applauding each good play, and believe
us. they could tell the good ones from
the bad. Thus there was an ovation
BROWN
in the final game in which the white
Tri Snukitr threw out Ml If A Donlin
at the plate from deep center. McGraw
said after the game that the throw
was the greatest he had ever seen.
It was almost as far as from the cen
ter field bleachers in the Polo Grounds
and It came to the plate absolutely
perfect. Had Mike taken a slide he
might have beaten the ball, but It Is
doubtful.
In a second Japan individually and
collectively stood up and roared, and
until the end of that game Speaker and
Donlin got a hand every time they
showed. Why Donlin should be ap
plauded was a mystery until it was
explained that the Japanese appreci
ated his oratorical competition with
the umpires, for be it known that Don
lin has had a setto with the umpires
every game. Now the Japanese love
to see an umpire run if they are be
hind him. It seems to be a National
antipathy. Thus C. T. Mayes, who for
years has been the umpire in all big
baseball games and other sports, quit
umpiring after he took the right field
fence In one jump in the last game
between Waseda and Keio universities.
This game, which was for the cham
pionship of Nippon, has never been
finished, as the Government took a
hand and prevented further contests
between these two rivals. It wound up
in a free-for-all fight between' the
partisans of the two colleges, and
while the fans, military and police
were cracking skulls on the field on
which the Sox and Giants fought. Um
pire Mayes escaped and hid in a nearby
house for several hours. That was his
final appearance.
Incidents of this kind show that the
game has taken root among the cherry
trees. When the players Journeyed to
Keio field they passed a ground where
there were six teams in action, players
who would be given the title of "semi
pro" in the States. On city and Gov
ernment playgrounds, and they are get
ting more and more of these In Japan,
fields are set aside for ballplayers.
It is true the game is not young in
Japan, as it was first introduced So
years ago. Twenty-five years ago Jiro
Murao took the game in hand and de
veloped it. He now enjoys the title
of "Father of Baseball in Japan." Two
years ago he took a team to the Un'ited
States.
A number of others, chiefly Ameri
cans, since have helped to develop the
game. The natives themselves are
able to run the game, and with the
return of Japanese students from the
States the finer points are added year
by year. The Sox and Giants discov
ered that so far as tneory went mere
was not a thing that the Japanese did
not know about baseball even though
they were a little lame on execution
of some.

RAPID MEN IN LEAGUE
FIRST OF INDEPENDENT BASKET.
BALL GAMES IS WEDNESDAY.
Four Squads Are la Portland Organiza
tion and Interesting; Contests
Are Expected.
When the first games of the Portland
Basketball League are played Wednes
day night, some of the fastest indepen
dent basketball players of the city will
be seen in action. Most of the players
are well known locally, having played
on lnterscholastic league teams of the
city or with the same quintet for two
or three seasons.
Four sauads are in the new league
Harriman Club, McLoughlln Club,
Archer-Wiggins, Weonas and the
Christian Brothers Business College.
The McLoughlln Club quintet will hook
up with the Weonas In tne Amicus
Club hall, while on the Christian
Brothers' floor the college team and
the Harriman Club will be fighting for
honors.
For the Christian Brothers' team
Captain Sieberts has rounded together
winning combination as nis recent
tour indicates. Three of his teammates
have played before with each other,
while the remaining two are first year
men. Powers and Manager Winters
have been with the college quintet for
three seasons, while Captain Sieberts
has been shooting baskets for the
school for two years. Williams, play
ing forward, and Burger, playing
guard, are on their first year of "big
league" ball.
Manager John Jj. Dwyer nas witn-
out a doubt the best known players ot
any in the league and he will attempt
to bring the Archer-Wiggins trophy to
the McLoughlln Club. Captain Toomey
was unanimously selected as an all
star lnterscholastic selection two years
ago while with the Lincoln High
School, as was Billy Lewis, or last sea
son's Lincoln High near champions.
Lewis will in all probability represent
the McLoughlln Club in many or Its
games in the new league. Sharpe is
trying out for forward.
Elvers Is another Lincoln Hign pro
duction and while at the school he
played at his present position, that of
center. "Willie" smytn. aitnougn at
present a substitute, is in line to be a
regular forward of the team and when
an extra man is needed Smyth is al
ways taken along. Leeb, although not
as well-known as the rest, is one of
the best guards in the city according
to the brand of basketball he has been
DUtting up the last few games. Boyn-
ton. who plays forward, is a iormer
Multnomah Club basket shooter, while
little is know of Towey, who com-
olctes the team.
The Weonas. under Manager Heales,
are the "darkhorses" of the league as
little is know locally of the players
he has under his wmgs. From all ac
counts the players are up and a-com
inc for all the srnmes so far this sea
son have been of the highest caliber
and some of the contests have been
walkaways for the Portland team.
Poling, who nlays center, is the only
one that played for the Weonas last
vear. The prospective lineup of the
team that will face the McLoughlln
Club in the Amicus Club gymnasium
nxt Wednesday is as follows: Poling,
center; Goode and Basher, forwards;
Irle and Twining, guards.
Like another team of the league
Manager Richanbach. of the Harri-
isun Club, has several lnterschol
astic stars of the highest type.
Harmon, who is Blated to hold down
the center position, is a former Wash'
ington High player, as is Chamberlain,
one of the guards. Dorney is an ex
high school player but recently with
the Gregory Athletic Club quintet, and
Propp3. who plays the forward posl
tion opposite Dorney, is of .the Sell
wood Club team. Shinn, who covets
the other guard, is a California pros
pect, while the Applegate brothers,
who are otit for a position on the five
are from Ohio and little is known of
them here.
The original schedule, which was
made out at a meeting three weeks
ago, was made from a 1913 calendar
instead of a 1914 affair, with the re
suit that a new date list had to be
garnered. All sanies will be played on
Wednesdays, although one or two of
the teams may possibly switch the
games because several members of the
aggregation are attending school which
holds sway on Wednesday. The matter
will be taken up by the committee at
the next meeting.
Following is the revised affair:
January 7 Weonas vs. McLoughlln Club.
Christian Brothers vs. Harriman Club.
January 14 Christian Brothers vs.
Weonas, McLoughlln vs. Harriman.
January 21 Christian Brothers vs. Mc
Loughlln, Weonas vs. Harriman.
January 28 Weonas vs. McLoughlln,
Christian Brothers vs. Harriman.
February 4 Christian Brothers vs.
Weonas. McLoughlln vs. Harriman.
Febrnarv 11 Harriman vs. Weonas. .vMc

REVOLVER. MARKSMEN ARE AGAIN
CLOSE TO CHAMPIONSHIP.
Despite Poor Lighting, All Scores Made
In National Tournament Are Uo
to 110O or Better.
With four victories already tucked
away and still shooting under heavy
handicaps, the Portland Revolver Club
teams are in line to repeat and bring to
Portland the 1913-14 championship of
the United States Revolver Association
tournament. All the scores made by the
Portland marksmen have been excep
tionally high. Not one has been below
the coveted 1100, and two went to 1127
points.
The Portland teams are shooting in
their temporary quarters on Grand ave
nue, where the lighting system is poor
and other conditions are such that the
scores are the more remarkable. The
new range, located in the new Police
Station, at Second and Oak streets,' will
be opened In the near future, and pos
sibly the Portland men will shoot there
for the first time tomorrow. If not, the
opening will be next week.
Last year the Portland shooters were
victorious. George Armstrong, now of
San Francisco, was a member of the

Strikes and Spares
T
HE Oregon Alleys have put in a
new lighting system, and in the
future Tom O'Donnell cannot
blame It on the lights when he throws
a ball through the back wall.
At the Saratoga Alleys Ojendyke won
the composition bowling ball for the
most 200 scores during December, hav
ing rolled 72 games which totaled bet
ter than 200. Krause had the high
score during the month, having rolled
269 in a game of the City League about
three weeks ago.
McMahon, Ojendyke and Garrett won
the special prize for making 10 con
secutive spares. Five men came with
ing one pin of winning the purse hung
for the man who first rolled a game
without making" a double, in other
words, rolled a spare and then a strike,
and so on through the entire match. All
five came up to the last pus when they
fell down by having that one pin stay
up on a spare.
The Oregon Alleys started a double
ragtime contest with the first of the
month. It ends on January 15. The
method is the same as any other rag
time with the exception that any team
of two men will have the right to bowl
twice. Also the men can keep on tak
ing new partners as long as they wish.
The entrance fee will be Jl a man,
which will net the winners a nice little
purse at the end of the two weeks
Nearly two dozen teams had bowled
up to a late hour last night and the
start assures the winners a handsome
purse.
The Class B high score contest at the
Oregon Alleys was won by Flnck. whe
rolled. 78 scores better than 170. Brock
was next with 57 scores better than the
limit and Snyder captured third with 47
Th Oregon's 190-score contest for
December was won by Tom O'Donnell
with 69, Franklyn was two games back
of him and took second, with 67. Mel-
vin brought in third with 49.
The Saratoga's 200 men were Goldie,
51: Myers, 40; .O'Donnell, 32; Berthold,
37: Ball, 44; Klden. 17; Christy, 14; Reis,
16; Simons, 14, and a score of others
who managed to bring from 10 to 15
of the better than 200 scores, despite
the short month.
The City League, which enjoyed
layoff during the holidays, starts again
with games on the Saratoga and Ore
gon Alleys on Tuesday night. The
house leagues also gather steam for
the final rush preparatory to the North
west Bowling Conference.
Captain Schwab, of the Triangle Col
lar team, and George Anderson, of the
Joe Gideons, bowl a special game to
night for a handsome side bet. This is
to settle a much-discussed argument
Buy The Oregonlan and get all the
bowling news about the Portland Bowl
ing Association leagues and the latest
concerning the Northwest Bowling
Conference.
Anderson and Meek will bowl Charles
Berthold, the Minnesota Giant, and an
unknown partner, a special series to
night on the Saratoga Alleys. Without
knowing who the partner will be, An
derson and Meek have posted $20 as a
little side bet.
A special Class A, two-man tourna
ment starts on the Saratoga Alleys to
night. The entrance fee will be 1 a
team and each alley will have a ref
eree. This is something out of the or
dinary and all bowlers will be forced
to apply themselves strictly to all rules.
Some of the finer points have not been
observed as closely as will be required
In the coming conference, and this
tourney will tend to keep the men on
the alert regarding their style.
The standings in the two big leagues
to date are:

SKI TO INVADE HOOD
Six Different Parties to Have
Frolic in Snow.
DETAILS BEING ARRANGED
Winter Sport in Neighborhood of
Mountain Thriving Majority of
Rompers AV1II Spend Time
on North Side of Peak.
Winter sport in the Cascades ad
jacent to Portland Is thriving. Thl
year no less than a half dozen different
ski and snowshoe parties will invade
Mount Hood and its snow-mantled en
virons for a week's romp.
Following the lead of the Portland
Snowshoe Club, headed by J. Wesley
Ladd, a majority of the parties will'
coast on the north side of the ma
jestic peak, but two parties, the Ma-
lamas and the Multnomah Ski Club,
will stick to the Government Camp
rendezvous presided over by Guide
Coalman.
The Mazamas have enjoyed already
their first week's hike, and the next
party to set out likely will be the
newly-organized Indoor Ski Club. The
indoor skiers held an informal luncheon
at Richards' Grill last night and de
cided on January 16 as the date of
departure.
The party will entrain to Hood River,
and, after passing a night there, will
complete the journey to the base of
the stiff climb up the ridge to Cloud
Cap Inn. Here the club will make Its
headquarters. Next year a clubhouse
likely will be built at the summit.
Club Leaves January 21.
