Pe. Impressions of Japan are very eat- ere4 t-m i. i.n iit.t Kfnr tered. This tetter la written Just berore we take ship for Shanghai, and I expect ta have mora settled views after I have thought the whole thing over for a few days. One fact Impressed me strongly, however, and that wealths extreme friendliness of tha Japanese toward the Americana.

Our reception was moat cordial alt along the line, to tha Mikado's country. There wa no Indication of any anti-American sentiment, and I believe that the vlalt of the world's tour- lets ha ben a big actar in bringing tha two nations closer together. In my letter which I mailed en our arrival at Yokohama 1 took up the Inci dents or our stormy Voyage across the Pacific Therefore I start this one nith our arrival Yokohama Snd include our experience up to the time we ship at Nagasaki Ov VUlt to Japan waa hurried be-" rausa of tha taJeneas of the Empress ef Japan In arriving' at Yokohama, and coma of tha festivities planned had to be abandoned, besides soma ball games scheduled. -Of course, everything looked strange and miniature to us when wa arrived In Yokohama, Tha amsllness of ttatir of tha Japanese people results to a. vehlclee being tight, and tha railrats trelna look like toys, Moat of us were glad to get on any land after the stormy voyage, and the almost constant seasickness in the party.

The land certainly looked good to us, Mont of the party went to the Grand Hole! in 'riksha, )1 of tha ball play-era bring antloua to have a rhle in these ftattve vehicles. Which none of them bad aeen previously. We took a train for Toklo at a quartet of 11 in the morning, and the players had many a laugh when, they gave the cars the once over on account of their site. There were swarms of passengers for the three liaaaea, but the little brown men handled them all as smoothly and as quickly as the big men in America On the train waa a bridal party that afforded the players much amusement, the coatume of the couple and their attendanta looking like thoe ef folks made up for a masquerade ball. 1 Villi not pausw to deja-rihe the scenery en Ilie way I) Toklo, he-aiiee this derripf Ion ran be found In many book a of travel, but Its great contrast to that ef the United States and the conservation of the natural resources, which results in the Jaie cultivating every Inch available ground lmpretiaed the ball players, especially thoae living in the fertile farming districts of the United tales, where so many benefits of the oil are wasted.

At Toklo Mr. and Mrs. "Jim" Thorpe got into a 'riksha, and their wl proved too great for the flimsy conveyance, which broke and threw them out. "Jim" had hia leg a HtUe bruised, but waa not seriously hurt. We went directly to the ball park of the Krlo University, where wa were scheduled to play a game.

They mada bail players take off their shore and put on slippers before we could go en the extra vagaatly finished floors of me ereeemg room. A big crowd was present when the Olnnts and White Rox took the field and rave ua a rouln cheer. It vu the first reception from a big gathering aince we had arrived In Japan, and the cordiality and sincerity of It surprised me. Germany Hchaefer got the crowd from the first with hia comedy. We had done some practicing on the steamer 'in pantomime, but the roll of the ship made it difficult to swing" a bat.

Aa soon aa the teams got on the field we began some batting practice, and Schaefer roiled up to the plate, howing that hia sea legs were still wltn him. Then he braced hlmnelf as -If to so with tse roil of the steamer and mi-itved several strikes by a mile. "What's the matter. yelled Callahan. I am.

still figuring on the roll of the ship when I swing and can't hit them." rerlled the German comedian. On the sUamer we had done s' wtx.U let ef ehadow baJI playing that la. oaJl playing Is. pie- if? iev Intended moving alt nw.a!Hlh' 8rUnd "Jt-trloa spWnll.e.ck the 5. A t.

The players of the Keio University team were present and watched the work of the American players with keen interest. The Ju-ant-ae fan followed the same intelligently, and although they were- not partisans, they acted as If they Understood tnsnv of the fine points or Tbe players showed up very well In the contest when their lone pell of seaslrkneaa and rough travel el, witn toe constant rnouon or tne ah notion of th ah pi beaut v.

When the band played the Star-fpangled Banner we all stood up. and I know there was a In my throat. They are very proud of the Ke6 team here, -and we were scheduled to play with them in tha morning In Toklo, We Jinew it would nvr rtn in the Jaim t-eat Hi teaguers. sn the dinner' broke up early. We took the night train for Toklo.

arriving late, and all hands hurry In to bed Comlskey. Callahan and I held a little conference on the line-op for the next day's game, when we were to meet the local plavers. I want to sav that there had been, some talk among the Americans living here of the Japanese using rouehV tactica and having the 'umpire working, for, their tim, but there was no evidence of this the game. They played- nice, clean hall and were very fast. Tl Jpe were already on the grounds hen the Giants and White Pox.

gut Into their uniforms about-. 9 o'clock In tne mornlnf. We were all Impreaeed by the speed and pep of the Japanese boys. The Japanese fana also gave a sample of what they can do In tho line of rooting when they have a favorite on the field. Before the game we staged some more pantomime or shadow bull, and It made a big hit with the errt4iora.

Gixnt-nature and good-fe. lws'iip pervaded the whole etmoa-pere. When we got a look at Sueasl, the Jap pitcher, we were aurprlaed to See him equipped with a pair of heavy. Cold-rimmed spectacles, which he wore In the box. Thia would queer him wltn any scout in the Untied States, aa the first requisite of a ball plwyer In any position ia good eye.

He had good con-trol, however, but did riot show enough "tuff" to worry the Hits Iaguera, II illnpUyed gaiitennas Ity Sticking throughout the fonteaL Callahan and I had decided to shove a mixed line-up Into the battle, and, when wa aaw that we would win, we rharuced tha men around te give nearly very one a chane. Tha first line-up to face the Japs for the Americana wm left field Doyle, aero nil Hpeaker. centra field; Crawford, riht field; Merkte. ftrt baas; third huae; loolaii, shortstop; Wlngo, catcher, and Hcott. pitcher.

The Keio boys had a college yell, Juat like the boy of the United HI a tee, sad they rut looke with It aa soon aa the American players had all been Introduced for the second time at Toklo. Keio got the first run, arid this gave the Japa a chance to root, which they did not overlook. They also did a lot of rooting when Morri, the Japanese rentr hit tin Ukm ltit the clasa of the lila; Leaguers, In le or our rocKy condition, was too much fof the Japt mnd we flniUy ed on Bugaai, winning by tha acore of ta a. There was only one incident to ruffle smoothness of this game, and it turned out to be a Joke. Tip O'Neill was stationed on the gnte to see that we sot our share of the receipts.

The policemen here are not decorated brass buttons, and are hard for the visitor to distinguish. A couple of fel- lows tried to get past and, although he could not talk their language, he stopped them from coming in. They pot up an aiatimeiit In Japnneae, whic meant nothing In Tip's A life, and lie still blocked the gste. Then the commanding officer of police came along and explained through an Interpreter thet theie were poll re officers. ''Tip" apologized via an interpreter and let the policemen In.

Hut they couldn't get by me with. out orders," asserted O'Nell. 1 1 suppose the American fans want to know what I think of the Japanese ball players. These little brown fellows have the making of good performers. They are fast and think well, always being in the game and taking chances.

Once they caught as smart a ball player as Speaker napping off second base and pulled as pretty a double play as you could see in the Big league. Their one weakness Is at the bat. They looked bad against the Pitching of Jim HJtt. eepeclally after hs got sntne of the soreness and stlfrness worked off his srm, due to the long spell on the water. He fanned the last three to face him.

But I believe with capable handling Ihey could made rood batters. Many of the hitters are Inclined to pull away from the plate now, a fault common among bush leaguers, but they all seem to have a good eye for the twill. And It must be remembered that they were faring better pitching than they had ever looked at in their lives before. The Keio team could be strengthened in or fMir IwmlfloftN Nhd tie rtevolfifted Into a club that would be hard for any team to beat if It were handled by an expert. What I liked about their plav waa msi tney aid not retrain irpm taking chances, even agslnst a club that is rated to be one of the beat in the woriii.

xney stole bases on Wlngo and were diving all the time when going Into a bag. They are alao scrappy. They tell you about a game played be tween Keio and Waseda Universities nere a lew years ago when the citizens, police, and ball players rot into a general scran that stopted the contest, and the umpire concluded it would be best to tr.Hke an exit over the right field fence. Ifuw were thev on strikes and bulla? I aaked Wlngo. who did I lie catching for ua.

after the game. They all have good eyes. They won't bite at bad ones," he repllea. I to work them with the wide ones, but thev don't fall." That is a great point In the favor of the Japanese players. I believe with the proper coaching tvy could be turned Into aid hitters.

IxM'ause even many a Big Leaguer will hit at bad balls. Mark my prediction. 8om star hall players will come out of Jaoan within the next ten years. Our trl-j has stimulated interest In the game and it is in for a big play. After the gam'i with Keio University Crawford wna complaining.

"What's the matter. 8am I ankd him. I'm sore," he replied, because I came T. miles to play sunfield." The crowd showed bo bitterness over the defeat of the native team by the Americana, and we were cheered as we the field. It was evident, howevtr, that the Japanese were disappointed the fact that their, team did pot win, and.

even though we rould understand their language, the spectators were complaining. Judging by their Futures, ss they swarmed off the field, Theae people hate to be bcuten, and they fisht hard. The final game of the series In Japan was played the Giants snd the White Sox at Toklo in the afternoon, and the American Leaguer again beat my bova, ths time by the score of 12 to 9. Thle gives the White Sox the edge on the entire series now, and Ihe tit anivo le p'ayed very hard, as seven' la vers have beta on the of the romplete aeries.

We went aboard her on launches, snd the Indies In our party were presented with innr floral wreathe by the natives, launches snd native boats swarmed around the steamer, and moat of the players went back to their old pastime of purchasing souvenirs. Fred Merkle bought a complete Jnpanese suit, and he looks like a lnundryman In these clothes. We started for Nagaaaki at 1 P. snd the trip through the Inland sea of Japan wss wonderful.

Americas Leagae Cm pi re How many games ant decided In the grand stand That Is perhaps a rather unusual question.

By it I mean what part does the rooting of the fans play In the result of many games. Concerted rooting really narrows Itself into a battle between fans and the pitcher, for nine times out of ten the pitcher Is the target for the verbal volleys of fsndom, Mayers, pitchers in particular, will Insist that they pay no attention to what Is being said to them. Players are human, although many fans seem to think otherwise, and there Is no get ting awsy from the fact that the concerted rooting of the home fans In the pinch has Its Influence. On nine out of every ten recruit pitchers the Influence Is very marked. That la one reason so many of the youngsters blow up In their early try-outs.

Veterans, In spite of their years of experience, which li supposed to tske the sting out of the attitude of the fans, feel keenly the effect of adverse criticism or complimentary applause. Every player will admit that good, loyal cheering, when things are breaking toughest, will spur him on to greater efforts. Severe criticism at such a time unless the pJayer has a heart of oak, will create a desire on his part to seek the shower bath. That Is oris reason why college cheering spurs on the "varsity men to do their best. Often a college team, apparently beaten, has taken new life tajiciise of the encouragement given them by the student body, and attained a glorious victory.

A desire to quit and give, up the game as lost by the fans, helps create a similar desire In the pUyers. 1 There Is no doubt that some players pay more attention to the attitude of the crowd than others. It would be possible to cits a dozen cases of players ho failed dismally In certain cities and were stars in others. Why? Simply because the attitude of the fans toward them was entirely different I know one pitcher who shuddered every time the nwniiger selected him to start a game. The pitcher waa game enough, but for various reasons the fana had taken a dislike to him, and the very mention of his name atlrred un a bad ihrow hluAihpltCiher WOU 2 Lro.w, hundreds of voices would ipr ine manager to lane mm i.w ISPrj man "nl.

As a result' signal from the bench that would finish mm as a performer for the afternon This pitcher was sold to another major league club and has been highly successful ever since.

Instead of being hooted and Jeered at as he steps on the field he is usually greeted with a round of applause. He thrives on such a diet. here are. I believe, a few nttchra i niuiiiereui to tne attitude of the crowd. They might be classed as great money pitchers, fellows who appear to go at their top speed when preaaed hardest, and when most Is at stake.

Christy Mathewson Is one of the great money pitchers. For years he has been the mainstay of the Giants when a great deal was at stake. Chief Bender of the Athletlca la another such pitcher. Connie Mack has often said that Bender was the man he always called upon in the i'uicn. mna mm me big Indian hud never failed him.

Against tail-end clubs I have aeon the rhief urifonn very ordinarily. I'erhaps no pitcher Is Joshed and kidded more than Mack's famous twirler. The fact that he is an Indian causes spectators everywhere to greet nis appearance wltn war whoops, which is usually continued throughout the game. Such a reception doesn't seem to noiner Henner In the least.

The louder and the more they yell the better he seems to pitch. The line of talk in tended to disconcert him simply makes Ueiidur smile the smile that Is all his own and work all the better. During training season several years ago i heard a number of star players discussing the Influence the crowd had on the average player, aa well as the attitude assumed by the pres. One of the players, still a star In the Natlbnal League, commented in a sensible man-. ner on the subject Ninety out of every hundred plsy.

era urn orislitsily inriiiniirnl bv what mem anu anoui mem. riine others are for the time affected, but eoon shake irr the sling of the criticism of the fan or the adverse comment of the press. About one In every hundred is perhaps totally indifferent to what is said to him by the fans or about him In the papers. Every now and then In my career I have run across players who Insisted that they never reud the papers, the spurting page In particular. 1 have always flk'ured that such fellows were simply trying to Joah some una, snd I have always refused to be that certain fiarty.

There never waa a fellow play-ng ball who didn't read the papers If he could, A complimentary notice always pleased him. while a knock usually made htm pine for the heart's blood of the writer. There ere few of us who can gracefully accept Ihe bitter with the sweet. Kverr fellow la human, liable to err. I have always tried to figure thst I have done many things on the field that merited praise and pulled a lot of things that deserved criticism.

1 have always tried to rend sdverse comment with as much In'etesi as I would a half column of praise. Homctlmes It has been a rather difficult feat, but I have usually mitnnged to go through with It The only fellow who ever told me that he didn't rend the who I believed, was a fellow who frankly told me tha he couldn't read, It being the lirsl reason In the world. I'erhsPS It would be better for some of us If we couldn't read during the Summer time." Occasionally one runs srroes a player who really Is actually Indifferent to the roasts or applause of the fana. I.efty Ilfleld. who for yeara was a star on the Pittsburgh staff or twlrlera, was alwsys lor.krd upon cs such a player.

Such was probably the correct slse-up of tha southpaw, happened to be one of the group of players holding a post-mortem on fandom and he remarked tbusly: "I can truthfully say that the attitude of tte funs toward me when pitching has neither helped nor Injured me. I reslly believe I am an exception to the ordinary run of fellows, anil I have often wished that I was differently con- 1 have given some excellent exhibitions during my career aa a Ptrate. and have been liberally applauded. Such applause might have stirred me to greater efforts If I was susceptible to praise. On the other hand, 'If I had paid any attention to the roasts that have been passed me, I would be In the minors at the very best, if not in a padded cell.

Mv style In the box has always been rather shiftless, indifferent. Just as though didn't care whether won or lost, when In reality no fellow ever lived who liked to win any better than me. A fellow simply can't change the stvle that nature has given him." The American league for several years had iuat such a Dlaver In Art Grins. who started with St Louis '-and then was sold to Cleveland. Griggs had a wonderful amount of natural ability.

When I fimt saw him work I was posi tive that he would soon develop Into a star. Nothing worried Grlsgs; even 7, it. hi i 7 i.J. in" ta.in.e ine 01, t.i.ui eaciiei never feaied him. His appetite was Just as good after a game in which he had made several errors that loat the contest, as after a game tn which his hitting had been the deciding factor.

figured the attitude of the fans' In St. Louts was responsible for Griggs's failure to show to better advantage. I felt aure he would pick up juat as noon ss he hit Cleveland, where the crowds wore riot, likely to be as critical. Grins was waltuly received lit Cleveland, but his style was Just the same. Never in his career did he doff his enp to the crowd.

lie walked to the bench with the same stow stride after driving oit a home run as he did after making an error. Tou're a dub to-day and a hero to-morrow with the fan, I once heard him remark, "and I don't Intend to be either." Griggs and lelfleld are the exception to the rule, however, aa the attitude of the fan makes or breaks the average athlete. Copyright, IVii. by W. O.

Evana. GOLF PROLONGS LIFE But Young Men of tha Game Win tho Championship. What has age to do with golf? is a question asked on many sides In the course of a season. The natural ans trer would ha Nothing." Yet the develop, menta of the last season show rather conclusively that It has. Francis Ctul-tnet, the amateur who beat Vardon und Ray, the world-famed British professionals, for the open championship of America, is not yet 21.

Jerome D. Trav-, era, four times the national amateur title holder, an accomplishment never before equaled, I only 27. Miss Gladys Ravenscroft, the firitlsh girl who won the American title, would not be eligible to vote if equal suffrage were In order. As In other forms of sport, youth will be served. It is true of golf, despite the fact that It has- been called an "old man's game." When Alexander Milne, the venerable President of the Scarsdale Golf and Country Club, led the field in, the seniors tournament at Apawamia last September on the first day, there was much ado about the fact that he was 82 years old.

But It was a tournament for men of 56 or older, and great though the veteian's performance was, It was by no means conclusive in argument that he could outdo the younger element on the links. There is only one answer tn the ques-tlnn What has age to do with golf That Is simply that golf prolongs a man's life. Walter J. Travis Is young at Oft, though, of course, he cannot be expected to play the brilliant golf which won the British amateur championship In 1904 for htm. Yet he defeated the younger Travers at Tuxedo on May 31 in the.

Invitation tournament there. Golf makes! a man young, and there's the solution. James Braid and Harry Vardon, former oen champions of Great Uriialn, are 43 years old, J. II. Tfl.vior, the pri ent champion, is a year younger.

Alex Herd Is 44. John Ball, former amateur British champion, is and Harold Hilton, oresent amateur title holder. Is 43, Horace Hutchinson wort the British title when he wss a grandfather. To come to American golf, one finds that when Louis James wss the aira i i. Harvard In 1904 and 11KO when he was th champion.

Travers was only 21 i VMra id When he won hia first title In hta (mm. Oulmet. In addition tobelir his teens. Oulmet. In sddl tho first amateur to win ofn championship, is the oL-teor title holder, and.

he a ti 1 1 Ajt amateur title holder, and, moreover, is ranked first among the best American pin vers. The great cry In Britain at present la to the effect that there are no promising youngsters outside of Lord Charles Hoiie, who won the French amateur JHIe ti ls year, and 15. Kyle, who did so well In HB Vlinilll'lUIIBMII' inn f. na. Tnv the last championship at Kt.

TAKE UP CURLING AS WINTER SPORT Dr. Nicholas M. Butler Leads Group of Prominent Men On St. Andrews Links. Amateur golfers have taken up the Scotch game of curling as a Winter pastime and several of the golf clubs In the metropolitan district have curling ponds.

Owing to the backwardness of the Winter, resulting In the lack of Ice. play did not start unUl New Year's Day, but from now on to the opening of the golfing season matches will he played on Saturdays. Sundays, and holidays. Curling has been played by members of fit. Andrews Golf Club for the last twenty-five years, while the Skaegll Golf Club near Yonkera and other golfing organizations 'have taken up the sport durlng'the last few years.

The growing popularity of curling has led to the proposal to form an inter-club league and play a series of mstches during the Winter. Most of the golf clubs have streams on or near their links and a simply constructed dam will provide a curling rink, which will thie. lull i VKfri'iMe 1 1 1 1 r.i'r.B, inn inr While considerable practice is required to enable the player to become an expert, the game affords abundance of fun for beginners and strenuous exercise for those who have become proficient In the sport Curling provides an Interesting competitive event, and many of the players become excited over the outcome of a contest, especially If It is olose. It la also fascinating, and holds the Interest of the players from the start to the finish of the rame. The rinks at 8t Andrews are for the members, but the latter are permitted to Introduce a friend occasionally, especially If an extra man la required to complete a team.

On a cold day. with the curling rinks In good condition, as many as three contests are in progress at one time. These provide stxnt for from twenty. six to Ihlrtj players, according to the number of players on each team. A granite stone, highly polished on one side and smooth on the reverse, is used.

A detachable handle enables the player to use either side of the stone; according to the condition of the Ice. These weight from thirty-five to forty-three pounds, but curling legends say that feotchmcn have used curling stones weighing seventy-five pounds. Many ot the players have their own granite outfits, but the club has a big atock on hand for the general use of the members. Kach player curls twice for a head, and the game consists of eighteen heads or pnlnta. One game usually re.

'mlri-B about two hours to finish, and there are many players who will com pete in matches, both morning and evening, regardless of the cold or frosty weather. One of the most expert players of the club Is Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University, who is the skip or lesder of his tesm. Ir. Butler has a keen knowledge of the game and a faculty for the direction of his team.

This latter point Is important, as it requires a skillful hand to direct the stone and lay up the In order to accomplish the latter feat the skip is usually equipped with a broom, which he uses to retard the progress of the stone or Increase Its speed, and In this respect Dr. Butler has few superiors. During the progress of game at Mt. Andrews he can be seen vigorously sweeping the ice In front of the stone as It progresses along the smooth surface. It was largely due to his ability to gauge the speed of the curling stone thst carried nr.

Butler's team to victory on New Tear's Day. It is the demoerstln side of curling thst sppesls to the players, snd millionaires are Just as much at home with the ground keepers nt the club as they are with the members. In the opening game of Ihe season Ir, Butler played with the son of the cttb ground keeper. Another Interesting festure of a match is the use of the Scotch dialect, which many members unconaciously fall Into, snd the result la a reminder of Auld Keckie," and the Scotch curling rinks, where the game has been played for several hundred years. One enthusiastic member of St.

An drews Club yesterday said the rain had caused a disappointment among the memoere, ss a gooti sn-nay match, nnu been arranged for yesterday. "The general public," he said, "fails to appreciate the snort. It one of the best games of the Winter for general exer cise ana tne interest in tne matcnes Is Intense. The soundness snd quality of the sport sppeel strongly to. the players and tliev show as much interest on the Ice with the curling stones as thev do with the golf clubs nn the links during sulfide weather.

Aa the healthful benefits become known more golf ers will tske it up anu then we csn look for Interclub series, and curling will he recognised as a popular Winter sport." Devotees or tne game are drawn rrom all walks of life and include professional and business men. who seek relaxation after close application to their labors.

Gunners Have Difficulty in Breaking Targets. Owing to the fact that the majority of the gunners were at Lakewood, N. only a small field took part In the weekly shoot of the New York Athletic Club at Travers Island yesterday. The conditions were the worst that the gunners have been compelled to face this season. Not only did it rain throughout the afternoon, but a three-reefed blew from the northeast and whirled the targets all over the lot.

L'nder the circumstances it is astonishing that the nlmrobr were able to kit) any of the tfny clay pigeons. The fact that the scratch shoot was taken by a score of 6i out of a possible PS) targets is creditable. Conrad Stein, the winner, did the heat all around work of the day. Not only was he the high scratch gunner, but he also the high handicap marksman of thtt after. boon.

However, he could -not win both prlzea, the latter trophy waa awarded to W. B. Ogden. Mr. Stein, however, managed to cap.
