AMATEUR CLASHES PROFESSIONALS FOR HONOLULU

Tokyo, January 8. ASEBALL in Japan to-day is believed possibly at the begin

ning of the transitional stage wherein professional baseball may come to the front as one of the leading national amusements. Despite the fact that the first professional. club has been organized, authoritative sports writers believe it will be several years before professional baseball, as it is conducted in America, gets a genuine start here.

Japan is not ready for it, they believe, principally for econo. mic reasons. Wille popular interest in baseball would seem to be on a par with that in the United States, sports writers believe that the university and inter-clly matches which now provide 30 first class games à season, just about supply the demand.

Baseball interest still centres on the universities. Attendance Is excellent and sometimes reaches 60,000 fans for a single game. Still the great mass of fans pays something less than 20 cents, U.S. "currency, for admis- ion. The top price is 50 cents.

Professionals Unsupported
