Interesting Sport Letter
Gathered From All Spheres
NEW YORK, March 6.—While foot
tall is popular in Japan the associa
tion game, and not the intercollegiate
ft rm of the sport, is what interests
the athletes of the land of Nippon.
There are a large number of Japanese
who have graduated from either Eng
lish or Americcan colleges and return
ed to the land of their birth so that
both soccer and American football are
familiar games. When it comes to in
dulging in the sport, however, the as
sociation contest is the one that finds
favor.
To some extent this is due to the
fact that during their student days
abroad the Japanese played this form
of football in preference to the rugby
of England, or the intercollegiate game
of the American universities. The lat
ter sport is, however, highly praised
by Japanese who have seen games in
the United States —a visitor of promin
ence from the Orient who hes returned
to Japan is at present comparing the
American spirit shown in football play
t - that of the samurai spirt of old Ja
pan. In his judgment the game of in
tercollegiate football as played by the
American universities is one of the
.surest signs of American greatness, nl
a recent lecture he referred to the
sport as follows:
“If any Japanese thinks that the
spirit of old Japan, Yamato Damashii
(Japenese spirit) is superior to the
spirit of America (American Damashii)
he would have that notion changed if
he could see a hard fought contest on
an American college gridiron. The
spirit of the old samurai is not confined
to Japan, but is evident in every game
between American football teams.”
He then gave a detailed and vivid
description of the game as he saw it;
the stoicism of the players, men
I knocked unconscious, blooded noses,
I wind knocked out, and the matter-of
i fact spirit in which all the hard knocks
I were taken by the players.
“That game,” he remarked, “would
never thrive in Japan.
In China soccer is also growing in
popularity. Two of President Yuan
! Shi-kai’s sons, Y’uan Ko-ehuan, and
. Yuan Ko-chi, are enthusiastic football
1 p’ay.ers and members of a team recent
ly organized at the palace which at
J present is playing a series of games
I with a team from the Peking club.
| Yuan-Kochuan is president Yuan Shi
{kai's fifth son, and Yuan Ko-chi is his
eventh son. The older is about twenty
and the other several years younger.
Both have been at school for several
years in England, where they acquired
their first training in fcxrtball.
Although Honus Wagner is one of
the oldest of the active professional
baseball clan, having just celebrated
his forty-second birthday, he is still
naking records. With three other
members of the Pittsburg team he
claims to be the first to start the train
ing season for 1916. Late last month,
during a thaw spell, Wagner met Out
fielder Hinchman, Pitcher Manaux and
Manager Callahan at the club office.
The spring-like weather caused the
talk to turn toward baseball play and
the upshot was that the quartet slip
ped out to Forbes Field and indulged
in a short session in batting and
throwing. Wagner states that this is
Lie earliest date that he has ever be-1
gun training in many years in the big!
leagues.
