L, August 4.—Base ball, the American national pastime, which was expected to replace cock fighting here, is dying out in the Philippine Islands, and the department of public instruction, by its lack of interest, is blamed for the fallure by a sporting writer in a local newspaper. The Ma- nila League is said to be the only base ball organization in the islands in a flourishing conditlon today. During the last five years, sporting authorities say, the department of public instruction has given no en- couragement to base ball through the bureau of education. Prior to that time, It {s said, the bureau of education’ was actively engaged in fostering the national game in the islands with a view to eliminating the island sport of cock fighting. _Teachers brought hero from the United States, it is charged, do not play base ball and have little, if any, knowledge of the game or of athletics in_general. Fllipinos, it is agreed, are as keen today as they ever were in regard to base ball. The players have devel- oped into crack moundsmen, bac! stops, Inflelders and outfielders, and, while their hitting is weak, compared with American bfg league standards, they are fast developing thelir stick work.
