Chicago, June 24.—When Coach Tobita of the Waseda university base-, tall team runs .over to the third base coaching lines as h)s Nipponese ball players coiro to bat, he doesn't let loose a flow of Japanese but yells in structions in the native language of the great American game. All.of his players. wh"o are now touring the country, speak English in some de gree and all of them use American baseball parlance on the diamond. "Even the youngsters in Japan call 'O.ut' and 'Strike' in English," Coach Tobita said here recently, when his nine played the University ot Chi-_ cago a three-game series. "Of course' all students in high schools and uni versities in Japan are taught English, but out in the fields where the small hoys play ball, they use the English terms. Baseball is the Japanese na tional game, too." Coach Old-Timer. Coach Tobita. who is 35 years old. has been playing ball for more- than 15 years and has been a professional coar-h for two years. He was a star at'Waseda, which is located at Tokyo, and captain of the team in 1909-10. His early diamond training was under Herbert H. Hunter, a former IJJew York Giant, who had a large part in the development of baseball, at Waseda. Baseball, however, has been played in Japan for 49 years, Coach Tobita said. "The Japanese have two seasons of ball." Coach Tobita said, in explain ing their enthusiasm for the game. "We have a spring and auturr»n sched ule, each lasting about two months. In Tokyo we have a league for four universities and play a regular sched ule. Waseda has about 10,060 students but comparatively few of them take part in athletios, Coa^ch Tobita said. Members of the team expressed great admiration for the American universities, especially the. large .gymnasiums which Japanese univer sities do not yet have.

June 24.—King George will present the international polo cup to the American team which on Wednes day was victorious over the British defenders of the trophy, at Bucking ham palace on Monday. WHY? I••••::••'.• (By The Associated Press.) Chicago, June 24.—The stolen base, once one of the highest factors in the1 attack of world .championship base ball teams, has been thrown into the discard by the major league managers of today. Records show that there were three times as many stolen bases •in the American League and nearly twice as many in the National League nine years ago AS there were last year A well known National League manager, who did not wish his name used, but who is looked on as a stu dent of baseball psychology, blamed the leniency of umpires in enforcing the balk rules as one reason for few er stolen bases. "Heavy hitting has been one factor," he said, "but another factor is that the pitchers tod^y can hold a man two steps from first base.

While all agree that heavy hitting has helped in the ten dency to make the stolen base extinct, some also blame the ineffectiveness of pitchers, failure of umpires to enforce the balk^rule and the scarcity of fast men. Ty Cobb, the greatest base run ner in history, says that the stolen base has been discarded only tem porarily and will return soon. Cobb declares that the game move's in cycles and that following the cycles of great pitching and great base run ning, we now have the cycle of great hitting. "With the sluggers of today, base stealing is a back number." s,aid the Detroit manager, whose stolen base mark formerly was c'.ose to the 100 figuce for a season. "But.'the hitting will pass. Then we will again return lo the cycles of pitching and base running. Five years from now my bas# running marks may be ec'ipsed by some youngster now. in grammar school." Tris Speaker, manager of the world champion Cleveland Indians combines ineffectiveness of pitching with heavy hitting as the reason for the lack oil stolen bases. "The base runner of today is "the man who can go from first to third or from second home on a single, not the man who can steal seventy-five bases in a season," faid Speaker. "The ineffectiveness of the modern pitcher h£.s brought about the heavy hitting and, indirectly, the Jecrease in stolen bases. We have no pitchers today like Mathewson, Joss. Wialsh, Plank, Waddell. Brown and other stars of ten years ago. The average pitcher of to day throws the ball up and hop£s it wont hit him coming back." •••..:•••:: '•*.' •':•'.•••' .v 'ri,-vi 15 s^fr Sere can't get a^etart pitchers make alk after balk and the umpires re fuse to call them.

We used to get a lot of free stolen bases when there were two out with the other team wiy ahead and no one cared whether the runner WAS ,l 0 I on first or third. We don't get those any more.

Harry Hooper, another great ,bas2 runner, takes the same view as Col lins. while Kid Gleasoti, manager of the Chicago White Sox, says that tbe tytse runners of today aren't"as*smart as those at past year3. He saffd: "Why have them steal,' when the ch&nces are they'll get thrown out or picked off the sack afterv stealing?" he said.

In 1912 there were 1,910 stolen btases in the American League. 1.450 in 1915. 906 in 1919 and only 750 last year. Thus far this season there have been 197 thefts, at the ratio of o'lly 591 for the season or little more than one-fourth the number in 19i2. Where Clyde Milan led the league in 1912 with 88 thefts and Cobb in 1915 With 96. the leader last year—Sam Rice— stole only 63, and George Sisler with 42 was the only other tiiAn to pass the 25 mark. Eight years ago there were nearly 3.0 men with more than 25' stolen bases eac^i. The National League runners.' orig inally stealing fewer ba?es thaii their American League rivals, now are Ahead of the junior circuit. In 1912 there were 1.576 stolen bases in the National in 1915. 1.165 in 1919 and 969 last year. The ratio,thus far this year would bring 654 for the season if continued to the ?nd—little more than one-third as many as in '1912. Flashes From Former Fights Jack Dempsey played the accom paniment to Jess Willard's swan song on July 4. 1919. at Toledo, O. It was all over in the third round. Jess got $160,000 for the performance, many times the amount Caruso earns 'in a whole opera. Dempsey got 327,000. The champion fell down and got up so many times in the first round that the referee became dizzy from count ing. and failed to hear the bell. This was on the fifth liason between Wil greeted his nose. The gong sounded feebly on the seventh count, but Referee Pecord continued chopping the air over Wil lard. When he had finished he iii formod Dempsey- that there had been a knockout and the- champion left the ring, only to have his manager come running after him with the informa tion that there had been a mistake. That first round was awful. But it prepared everybody for the worst and no one was -surprised when Willard lost in the third round. Dempsey opened the fight by ac cepting some taps on the face. Then he hauled off and busted Willard in the stomach so hard that a dazed .ex pression overspread the champion's countenance. Dempsey then landed several blows to the Jaw and Willard dropped to the floor for six counts, only to fall 'again with a/ blow that greeted his noce. As he got up a second time he turn ed his head away but the Giant Killer struck him twice and he fell on his hands and knees. Arising once more, Willard was cornered by Dempsey who pounded him to the mat with rights and lefts to the face.. Again .he got up and once more he was knocked down. Somehow the giant groped his way through the second round, suffering nothing more humiliating than a fall partly through, the. ropes Dempsey tore into him again when the tjiird round 'opened. Willard was groggy and weak, but one eye out of shape and everything gone wrong. His seeondf threw the towel ipto the ring and called it p. day. RUGBY WON FROM CAND0 SCORE 8-7 Rugby, N.
