JAPANESE BASEBALL TEAM
TOURING UNITED STATES
CHICAGO, May 26—A Japanese
baseball team, representing Waseda
University, of Japan,, which arrived
( from the Orient several weeks ago,
is engaged in the greatest tour of
: American colleges that a Japanese
nine has ever taken. The team from
Nippon will play clear across the
country, to the Atlantic, meeting
I all the leading college teams, in
eluding Yale and Harvard. The visit
ors will cross bats with the Yaie
team tomorrow.
! The visiting team is in charge of
the “father of baseball in Japan,•'
Prof. Iso Abe, dean of the college
and professor of political economy
at the Tokyo University.
An incident of the arrangements
is that middle western games were
scheduled by Waseda’s first baseball
coach, Prof. Fred Merrifield, of the
i University of Chicago, who this
! year is coaching the Chicago team.
A number of years ago when Prof.
Merrifield was teaching in Waseda
he introduced many of the finer
points of the game to the Japanese
college world, and last year piloted
a Maroon team back to Japan,
i The Japanese players were whip
ped into shape in the Hawaiian Is
lands, having sailed from Yokohama
on March 18. The team arrived at
San Francisco during the latter pan
of April and is sceduled to sail
from Seattle, on the return trip to
; Japan, on July 14.
I The Japanes “Father of Baseball"
Prof. Iso Abe, who accompanied the
Japanese players to America, Is one
of the most beloved of all Japan
ese public men, according to Prof.
Merrifield, who says: “As an Initiat
or of baseball in Japan and as the
maker of athletic champions, Prof.
Abe is known in all parts of the
Sunrise kingdom. In bringing his
team to the United States for the
fourth time, he hopes to demonstrate
the fact that Japanese young men
can play baseball as well as any
other nationality in the world, given
equal advantages with the rest.
“He also hopes to prove by this
extended tour of America how
cordial are the feelings which ths
educated, democratic portion of the
Japanese people harbor toward the
United States and the world. Prof.
Abe is modisty itself. Trained at
Yale, he is a leader of liberal Christ
ian thought, and as fluent a speaker
in English as in his mother tongue.
Again and again he has refused
tempting positions of honor in Japan
that he might continue to influence
■ the youth of Japan through the
classroom and especially through
athletics.”

PORTUGUESE MAKE EFFORT
TO FORCE PRICES DOWN
LISBON, May 26—The Portu
guese are attempting to follow the
example of the Americans and force
a decline in the excessive prices of
food and clothing by refusing to
purchase. The people are indignant
at the continued advance of the
I cost of the necessities of living, par
j ticularly the price of codfish, which
j is the chief article of food for the
! poorer families.
The city councils of Lisbon and
Oporto are attempting to stop the
exactions of the profiteers by pur
chasing large quantities of codfish
from Newfoundland and selling it
at one-third the price extorted from
the public by shopkeepers. It is
hoped that this will bring down not
only the price of fish but that of
meat also.
The newspapers exhort the public
to refrain from buying rice in order
to bring down the price and an
nouncements have been made ot
several cuts to come in that food.
The Portuguese public is looking
to the United States to rescue it
from the plight in which it finds it
self. Unverified rumors have been
circulated that shiploads of food
stuffs, clothing and shoes are on
their way from America to flood
the markets here at prices available
to all. Many householders are re
fusing to buy at present prices,
saying, “I will wait until the ships
have come from America.”
PLANES CAUSE SENSATION
ON RECENT FLIGHT SOUTH
SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Nicaragua,
March 6—(By Mail) There are even
yet in remote parts of the world
people who never even heard of an
airplane. Some of these people live
in the little Nicaraguan village of
Gigante, where the naval plane
NC-6 was forced down by a hurri
cane while on its flight from San
Diego, Cal., to Panama, along with
about a dozen other planes, in Jan
uary.
They thought the NC-6 was a huge
bird, an albatross, which had come
in search for some unfortunate
mariner who had offended it anu
they hid in the woods for several
i hours.
I
Near the little cove where the
NC-6 came down are two ranches.
After the Associated Press corre
spondent had found the missing sea
plane, he visited one of these places
and asked the woman if they had
seen the plane arrive. The woman
replied:
“Mio Dios! I should think so. At
the sight of the horrible thing skip
ping over the white caps, without
i flapping its wings, and spitting fire
from both sides of its body and
roaring like twenty thousand bulls,
we all took to the timber where we
remained for about four hours. We
only came out when we saw a for
eign gentleman passing near where
we were hiding.”
The woman added that before the
great war, when sailing ships used
to visit the Nicaraguan coast io load
' uiauugauji auu v cuai , • me Lapiaiii'>
had told them of a wonderful bird
called the albatross that was an
inhabitant of the Southern seas,
and they supposed this bird had
come after some offending sailor.
