When the Americans enme to Manll.i,
gnmbllng was such a terrible evil
that a law 'was parsed prohibiting
racing and cock-fighting excepting on
Sundays and holldas. With two
gambling games running an a counter
attraction to our baseball mutch, nat
urally the latter suffered for lack ot
iittcndanrc.
Tho Filipino club gave uh n tight
rub, score being 4 to 3 in our favor,
lllll Devereaux opened on the ttlub,
but the weather vvaB too hot and sul
try and lllll hnd had. so little sleep
the night before that Jim Delchanty
finished the Job, Del never rated
himself n pitcher, but he hnd enough
loncelt to go In against the blacks.
When It came time to open the

Is pretty good proof that tho All
Americans have been plavlng hust
ling baseball.
Tho Manila fans Kae the club a
lousing farewell. There was n largo
delegation nt the wharf when the
lender left (or tho good ship Jean.
Quite n crowd accompanied the plai
ns aboard and when the Jean pulled
out for Hongkong there was waving
of Mags and handkerchief as fat as
the eye could see. Manila outstrip
ped all the other cities visit In point
of hospitality, though Shanghai ran
a good second. Mindful of their
Hist trip, the placrs dreaded the
voyage to Hongkong on such a small
boat us the Jean, but the weather'
rlcrk wag kind to them We struck
ft perfect calm on n sea notorious for
Its roughness in winter, until the
last night out, when the Jean bound
ed and rolled nnd pitched to her
heart's content. Hut it was only for
:i night and the pluers made tho
best uf It.
The Canton committee met us ul
the boat to play a gume arranged by
cuble at Manila before tho Mongolia
Bulled, which wus the following day.
As I have mentioned elsewhere, this
Mde-trip was fruitless, as It .rained
hard all day. The club returned from
Canton In tlmo to have a few hours
nt Hongkong and'eatch tho Mongolia,
tho Fairmont Hotel of the Pacific
iquadron, which sailed at noon.
Thc were stops of n day and a night
nt Shanghai, Nagasaki, and Kobe,
but tho players had two days nt Yo
kohama to renew ncqunlntnnies and
do shopping. When tho Mongolia
touched at Yokohama same ot 'the
players were treatod to a nmel ex
perience. There wns a snowstorm
raging, nnd It was the first tlmo some
ot the Callfornluns had bee it In one,
hut the storm was of short duration,
lasting only u few houis. Thu ocean
was anything but smooth nil the way
between Hongkong and Yokohnma,
the Mongolia striking n strong head
wind, which kicked up tho Ben. On
n smaller ship tho players would
have had .seasickness to endure, but
tho Mongolln plowed through thu
heavy sea without it wobble, nnd
theio wns not an unwell baseball star
tn part of tin journey, nnd then
nit" i tuna very poor sailors rtmong'
them. The All-Aiuerlciins klllud tltnt
by pl,i)lng bridge, crlbbnge, go (Jap
anese checkers), poker, boxing on
deck when thu weather wus good,
snuff Ichoaid, rending, writing let
ters and postals home, and fanning
when there wus nothing bettor to
do, The days passed by rapidly and
befoul we knew It Honolulu was
sighted. After tho strenuous life of
Manila lasting two weeks, the rest
was both rcfieshtug and benlfltlal.

JUST ARRIVED
Come and see the wonderful Car
that won the famous New York to
Paris Race.
When wo arrived at Hongkong,
which wns Jan 8, their was a dele
gation of baseball fans from Canton !
waiting our appearance lleforo leav j
Ihg Manila, Manager Fisher arranged
by cable lo play a game lit this great
Chinese motiopolls nnd the players
looked forwur dtn the affair with
keen anticipation. It would mark
the first appearance of a regularly
orgnulred baseball club in this an
cient city, nnd, noreocr. It would
give the All-Amerlcnns an opportun
ity to see tho wonderful sights. On
tho way out only Illlss, Hums, nnd
Flaherty availed themselves of the
(hauce to "visit Canton, though the
team stopped nearly n week at Hong
kong nnd It is only a night's ride uu
n boat going up the river to this big
city. Hy the time we reached Hong
kong tin' majority of the placts
were tired of sightseeing, so they
passed up the greatest sight In the
Orient, which they now regret.
Hut for n beating rain which over
took us at Hongkong and continued
with us all the way up to Canton and
hack, the players might have visited
the points of interest on Jan. 8, It
was raining torrents when the club
leturnc dto Hongkong nnd Manager
Fisher hud his doubts about the
weather being nny clearer nt Can
ton, about 90 miles away, but tho
"reception committee" would not
take no for an nnswer "It oftou
rains ut Hongkong nnd It Is fine
weather at Canton," retorted tho
chairman, a Canadian by birth, hyt
a baseball fan of the 33d degrco or
der. "While It was cloudy when we
left Canton last night and looked like
rain, I think w. will catch good wea
ther Hotter take a chance, anyhow.
You won't lose nnythlng by It nnd
our boys are crazy to sco you. They
have been looking! ahead to this day
ever since we cot your cable, from
Manila tolling us that you would
play us. And let tno tell you uir
boys expect to win." And with these
words tho captain burst out In laugh,
ter, After such an urgent Invitation
Manngcr Fisher had to accept, and
tnke chances with the weather. The
Canton boat pulled out ns soon as our
UKKuge was put aboard. There wore
spells when it looked as If tho clouds
would break and tho sun appear, but
they wcro brief. When we touched
Canton It wns raining cats nnd dogs.
Tho water never came down any fas
tor In Sun Francisco than It did that
afternoon. Our boat anchored near
the white settlement, which U on nil
itlnnd In tho river, nnd In the vor
heart uf Canton. As Boon as our
Lout ramo to a stop delegations from
thei Htnndnrd Oil, Customs service,
nnd other Interests where Americans
are employed came aboard and greet
ed tho players. Wu' arrived at 2 p.
in, nnd after waiting an hour it was
rnlnlng even harder than when we
cnuie. If such n thing could be pos
sible. At 3 p. in. It was decided to
abandon hope, und sampans came
alongside and carried tho players ov
er to the Customs Club, where, n la
reptlop w-as tendered them. Tho Cus
turns service of China was establish
ed by nn V'ngllshtnun, who Is uljowed
to engage whtto men for deputies
These deputies are scattered all over
China and since Cnifton Is the me

lecled on exports as well as Imports,

Iher. Indeed they did. It wouli greet (be AU-Amirlcans. After he

could have gone out on the field until 'I want nil jou boys to come ashoia
given the Cnntonlans n run fur thel.- and have tiffin with me nt the Orl-
money, as the latter bore their tiav-'eiital
ellng expenses up and down the river
In addition to giving them n guar-
onteo of 200 "Mex" labout 90 go'u
dollars). It was a great misfortune
that such a game bunch of sports
should miss the gume, which may he
the last time a professional baseball
club will ever visit Canton.
There Is an athletic field not far
from the white settlement, though
we didn't see It and It. was here
that the game was to have been pln
cd. Tho management had arrauged
all the details, printed posters, stock
ed the clubhouse ot the grounds with
refreshments, and carefully selected
Its line-up, which was to down tho
All-Americans, and, really, they had
a hunch that they would And cvu
the umpire had been named. The cup
tain of tho Cnntou club was thought
ful enough to give the writer the
line-up, which he naked lo have pub
lished In the Hullctln, nnd somC cAp
ics 6f tho paper sent "the boys." His
line-up follows:
Mr. T II. Smith, captain nnd pit
cher. Mr. V U. Clyde, catcher.
Mr. A' Dowman, first base.
Mr. P. A. Kalleberg.
Mr. F. 0. Chappie.
Mr. J. B. Morgan.

'Mr. W. Hayes.
Mr. G. Kabbert Duster Hrowti.

Ilofure departing -from tho Customs
Club tho All-Americana were present
ed with the colors ot the organiza
tion in thu shape of beautiful silk
neck mufflers together with neck
scarfs and hntbands. At dark we
boarded our boat again and started
back for Hongkong, arriving there
In thu morning in utnplo time tn do
hoiuo shopping and catch the Mon
golia, which sailed that afternoon.
Should the All-Americans ever re
turn to the Orient, this much Is cer
tain: they will play a gatno nt Can
ton If nt no other place. They prom
ised this to thnt crowd ot good-fellows
before saying bahzal. .
Hill Hums will be the happy kid
should Washington sell or trade him
to some strong club like Detroit dr
St. Luuls. It matters little to It'll,
so long as It Is not a' tallender. Do-
fore leaving Inst Full he notified Man
ager Jot Canlllon that ho was
through -with Washington. Captain
Dob Onnley swatted Dill In the
slats with a club, Which put him out
nt the 'gnmo the balance of the sea
son. This blow soured Hill on Onn
ley and the club and he quit. Hunts
has seen reports In the papers that
ho wus to bo traded to Detroit frr
Mullln, nnd again ho read Chat St.
Louis was negotiating for bltn. 'As
I haw said. Hill cares not ft fig whe
ther hd plays with Detroit or St.
I-ouls, for both were strong clubs last
jcur. With n powerful club at his
back, Hums will be heard from. Hear
this in mind: Ho U one great pitch
er. Players one and all recognise his
ability. On this trip he has won all
his games won them handily, anil
while this was no remarkable per
formance perhaps, It Was often amus
ing to see how helpless the battels
were In his hands. Some batto
were contented If they got a foul off
him.
Pnt Fluhcrty brought back enough
silk and satins and laces and pre
cious pearls and fine lrhcns and nil
that stuff lo furnish a Oat fit enough
for n duke to live In. Tho Huston
twlrler blew himself nil the wny from
Yokohama to Manila, und Ills only
regret was that his bank-roll wasn't
larger. In addition to his purchaser,
I'ut was the icclplcnt of some1 mighty
fine gifts, Tho Knights ot Columbus
nt Manila, of which order ho Isx a
member, presented him with a beau
tiful traveling suit ease nnd toilet
tet, Tho outfit cost fifty dollars It
It cost a cent. "Admiral" Flaherty,
who holds a position with the Manila
Street Railway Company, but not re
lated to I'dt though uf tho same name
guve him u silver shuvlng mug nnd
brush. Just because be bore tho good
(dd Irish name Flaherty, tho "Admir
al," who was aboard Do'wey's fleet
when It salted Into Manila, henco the
cognomen, struck up n ' friendship
with I'at. Tho "Admiral" had never
met him before, but he knew I'at
must he all wool and a yard wide
Just because he was a Flaherty. The
Admiral came out to Mnnlln from
Hoaton, while Pat claims the north
ern part of Pennsylvania as his home.
Hard as they tried, the two could not
scrape up any relationship. When
I'ut leturned- to Hongkong his old
classmate, Doctor wcKean, und a
prince ot good fcllpws and an Amer
Icali through and through, gave hli.i
n prctty'Jndq searfpln as a. keepsake.
At Hongkong I'at found that lie had

The Mongolia arrived nt Kobe III

early next morning. Doctor Iloer
came aboard nt night nnd "fanned '
with tho bunch until tho last launch,

Heine Heltmuller gnve nn inhibi
tion or long-distance hitting before
leaving Manila which startled the
natives. Twice ho pelted the ball
over centerlleld enclosure and it was
the first tlmo-thnt a home-run had
ever been mnde by this route. Cen
terfold fence stands a long distance
htick. Quite u little farther than
Uttfleld fenco does at the Valencia
stieet grounds, nnd yet both times
Heine batted tho ball so It dropped
fully ton feet clear or the boards.
Whllo the big Dutchmun has been
guilty ot pulling oft some terrtllo
drives, tho writer ran safely uf
thnt he never hit the horsehlde hard
er than he did these two times, Helt
muller hit In swell form nil through
the Manila series. His drives were
timely as well as long, nnd tho Ma
nila pitchers were never pleased to
see him npproathlng tho plate.
Should he hit the ball halt ns hart
for Philadelphia this summer ha will
be quite tho biggest thtug In base
ball. And there Is no reason why
Heine shouldn't swat tho ball. As
they say ut a pitcher, ho has every
thing. He has onlv tn cat his club
on the ball to i It ' ''io further
