Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT PHOENIX, Ariz. — The first thing you notice about the Tokyo Giants, the champion ball club of Japan, is that their uniforms bear the word “Tokyo” in block letters across the chest. The explanation of why they didn’t spell it out in Japanese is simple once you know it. Lefty O’Doul, the old big league outfielder and present . Pacific Coast League manager, officially named them the Tokyo Giants on one of his trips out there years ago. There is no Japanese equiva- lent of the word Giants, and, as the club’s original uniforms bore both words, it would have looked silly to have one in Jepanese and the other in English. It became necessary to drop the “Giants” in time, as Japanese players were smaller in those days than they are now and the “Giants” kept sliding down under the belts. But they stuck with the “Tokyo.” The uniforms are made in ,this country and are. exact copies of those worn by the New York Giants. Ever since the Japanese adopted |baseball and went crazy about it they have run into similar linguis- tic difficulties. As they had no words of thelr own for the fami- |liar terms of the game—run, hit, }home run, strike and the like—it |was necessary for them to use ‘ours. During the war they dropped these and made up some ersatz ones of their own, but it didn’t seem the same, and the instant the | conflict ended they went right back to the old, familiar diamond chat- | ter. ; The Japanese team is training jin this country at a cost of around $100,000 and is engaged in a heavy exhibition schedule against major jleague and Coast League clubs, Up to date it has won eight games against a dozen losses and: has greatly impressed baseball men with the obvious improvement in play since the last Japanese team was here in 1936. One big league scout said that he would guess the Tokyo club could hold its own in a fast Class A league—might cven get along in Double A after another such trip as the present one. The last time jthey were over, he said, they | played only about college caliber | ‘ball and knew one of the finer | points of pitching Pitcher Warren Ha: Chicago Cubs had a 2 run average 1952 best pested by a C ; since Hank Borow gs aga sast | Dodgers’ im club Podres gave up caly | bree bits and his successor, Rea! @ Negray, two in the 10 white: | washing The Cleveland Indians defeated San Diego of the Pacific Coast; League, 13, & a sight game.
