The athletes reported that base- ball is growing more popular than ever in Japan. They said the Japan- ese have developed the habit of bait- ing the umpires and that they refuse to support a losing team, much after the manner of American followers of CAPTAIN HEALEY TAKE NOTICE. Manager McCarthy on Trail of Team ‘Who Won Honors Last Season. Polo, the king of winter sports, may see a short revival in this city in the near future, if the following challenge is accepted. The sporting editor of the Herald found this in his mail this morning: Mr. Sporting Editor Herald: Please allow me some of your valyable space to issue a challenge on behalf of my polo team, to meet Cap- tain “Jigger” Healey’ five in the near future. Our team which represented us last season is intact, and although we were beaten once by Captain Healey’s five (thanks to he referee), we feel that we can redeem ourselves if given the opportunity. We will eet Healey : five for fun, money or marbles, but as the season is off on the latter sport, I would suggest either of the other two propositions. Our team is made up of the following gladiators: “Johnny” Roche, the Tride of the Capitol City; “Charlie” Jones, known more extensively as “Grandpa,” on account of his connec- tion with polo in the days of Methu- saleh, who are the rushers; “Smoke” Michaelson center, all who have seen this player perform have never for- gotten his exhibitions; ‘“Slide” Kelly halfback, known for his ablility as a speed artist and blocking abilities, and in the goal I will endeavor to repeat my wonderful exhibition of last season. I hope “Jigger” .will take rotice of this challenge and I will be pleased to hear from him at his earliest convenience. CHARLES (Bearcat) M’'CARTHY, Manager, Stanley Street, City. “POP” BLANKEN DEAD.

Celebrated Paintings in British Insti- tute Moved to Place of Greater Safety London, Dec. 31.—Unknow to the vast majority of Londoners, the Na- tional Potrait Gallery shut its doors several weeks ago to remain closed until after the war. The work of transporting the more Important por- traits of British monarchs and celeb- rities to a place of safety began some months ago, so the collection had lost much of its interest to sightseers. The National Portrait Gallery lies just behind the National Gallery, which faces Trafalgar Square, the mi- nor works of the great masters and the best work of the lesser painters remain, and the art critic who is em- ployed by the government to lecture to visitors on the various schools of painting conducts his daily class. Owing to their more isolated posi- tions, the Tate and Wallace collections have not suffered materially through fear of Zeppelin raids. TABS’ POOL, TOURNAMENT.
