ed. to slow down the game last Saturday between the U.S.B. He lonn and the Japanese as the Beld was a bit sloppy and slow. If it had not been for the bad weather the league would be nearly Onish- od by now and the results would be much more definite,
Last Saturday's game was a big supprise. The sailors off the Helen wallopéd the Japanese in the first ten inning game of the season. The Nipponites, who were considered the strongest teams of the league, went down to one of the scrappiest terms. While the sailors have put up a good gamo, their they the rather erratic, in playing and as a result were pret- ty well down in the team stand- ings until they made this wild at tempt and pushed themselves up to third place, much nrise of the know-alls,
the sur-
The batteries or both teams were the same all through the gamo and both have to be congratulated on their good work. Miki flayed A cool game all through, and while Shellenbergur pitched a good game; he stil clung to his old habit of becoming slack.
One score was made by both teams in the first canto and then until the first of the tenth; nothing was madd on either side. The sailors came across in their part of the touth and brought in three runs while they held the Japs to a no-

On Thursday inst the Holena beat the Chinese Athletic by a nar- row margin of 3-2 The game was not so hot from a a baseball point of view and neither side was able to score very heavily. The sailors put up their usua: fight when the #core was against them after the second stanza, abdul ka
Shullenbarger pitched a beauti. ful game and made a fine showing by getting seven strike-outs in five innings. It was too bad he was nct in for all of the game as Tochterman threw for the first two. innings;, it was dua to the latter's wildness that the Chinese were abla to scora.

The Helena are scheduled to reset the Hong Kong Baseball team to day and the South China team Crosses bata with the Chinose Athle-. tic to-morrow afternoon,
Bath games cught to be well worth watching and from all indications the, sailors ought to bent the Hong Kong boys without any trouble. With the two Chinese teams it is rather, difficult to say which will win because those boys never do the right thing and the breaks of the game will be the final show for the supremacy
*
All is quiet on the American Baseball front and all of the 'tarma are in the same old standing. Thero has not been any great ex- citement in either the American or the National leagues.
From what I hear the American West Coast leagure are, turning cut a pretty brand of ball and are rapidly becoming more popular with the fans. It seems as though the Const boys are playing cleaner ball than the other leagues and the sport fans are demanding cleaner hall. The cut-and dried stuff that the major leagues and out is get ting rather old and new stud is needed."

Another feature of the report is the observation that the big glaciers along the coast are slowly receding towards the deepest de- pression of the saucer and that, in time to come land may emerge from underneath the icecrust..
