BERNARD F. as GAFFNEY, Judge. There | real | BROWN WRITES OF Y. M. C. A IN EAST Former Local Official Busily En- gaged in Japanese Cities The following report has been re- ceived by the New Britain Y. M. C. A, of the activities of Franklin H. Brown, farmerly connected with the local as- sociation, who is now engaged In similar work in Japan: The past six months has been the successful opening of work in the new building dedicated in September: the Yokohama City Association and the Tokyo Imperial University Student As- soclation. The Yokohama. building, of rein- forced concrete, though costing $48,- 000, including land, is & model for economical arrangement of space and departmental activities. After six months’ usage, the only Tegret that has been expressed is regarding the location of one small store closet. Ta be sure, more space is desired, es- pecially in the gymnasium, but con- sidering the money spent for an asso- ciation building in a city of half a million inhabitants, it is difficult to suggest any improvements. Early in the year the membersship reached one thousand, pressing hard on Takyo, Osaka and Seoul. The work of the Yokohama Y. M. C. A. for several years has been confined to educational and Bible classes in a few unattrac- tive rented rooms, but the city is now alive to the fact that the Christian farces of the gateway of the Orient have received strong Treinforcements. One of the hardest tasks before Gen- eral Secretaries Omura and Sneyd 1s the training of a force of secretaries to handle the suddenly enlarged work. Considering the fact that we have as yet no trained Japanese physical directors, and that I have been able to give Yokohama only two days a week, great interest has been main- tained in the physical departmént activities. Because of the present lack in trained leadership no attempt has yet been made to organize physical work for boys, the effort of the first season being concentrated on the younger business men. For a time this effort met with a fair response, but not such as we felt justified in ex- pecting. The appointment of a live committee, and a well warked up physical department banquet turned mediocrity Into a complete success. Ninety-six members attended this first banquet of its kind in Japanese Asso- ciation history, and an inspiring talk was given by Mr. Hiranuma, M. P., who is one of Yokohama's prominent citizens, and an ex-athlete. This was followed by a ‘“chalk talk’” on a pro- posed mare elaborate organization of the gymnasium class work. The im- mediate result of this function was a doubling of the class attendance and a high interest that was sustained throughout the balance of the season. Although the Yokohama gymnasium is rather small, its complete equipment makes possible a more all around work than can yet be attempted in the other Japanese cities. The mainten- ance of a Teal class organization Is greatly helped by the presence of three young men Who ‘are beginning their training as 'physical directors. Gen- eral Secretary Omura is organizing a Bible class among the gymnasium men, / In addition to Japanese classes, there has been gymnasium work giv- en to two foreign groups, one com- posed of thirty English and Amer- fcan boy scouts, the other being a cosmopolitan group of forty-eight business men representing twelve na- tionalities. Both have maintained an even higher percentage of attendance than the Japanese classes, though this will probably be more than evened up when competent native physical di- rectors are available. With few ex- ceptions, foreign teachers for Jap- NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25, 1917. 11 Acknowledged Payment Many business houses now state on their bills. that ‘“a receipt Wwill not be sent un- less requested.” You can sce how con- venient and useful it is TO PAY BY CHECK, as the en- dorsed check comes back to you auto- matically from your bank and is the best evidence of payment. Your checking account held in Tokyo. They arén’t break- ing any world’s records out here, but you can see that the athletes in this section of the globe are making en- couraging progress. The records made in the games just finished do not in most .cases do the contestants justice, several weather conditions conspiring to cut down the performances. Just previous to and during the weék of the contests the weather .was unusually cold and rainy for that time of year, and on the home stretch the runners invariably had to face a strong wind. It rained nearly every,night and sometimes showers fell during the contests. Be- sides slowing up the track this of course cut the attendance in half, al- though about twelve thousand a day paid admission. This may all sound like a tale of woe, but even with these handicaps the championships were an unqualified success in every way, and they have done wonders in arousing widespread interest in ath- letics of all kinds. The length of the track enclosure was limited, making it necessary to construct a 400 yards track rather than the rogulation quarter mile. This made it nece: for the runners to face the wind twice in the quarter, three times in half, and five times in the mile. The fast time in the hundred yard dash is partly accounted for by the fact that this event was run with the wind; the Filipino who won race (Catalon) is a consistent per- former in ten and a fifth seconds, however. The high hurdles were also run with the wind. Catalon is good for twenty-three seconds or a little better in the two-twenty in good weather. The Japanese had three big men who had been doing good time in the quarter and we expected to have no trouble in taking three places, but Ablan, a little Filipino, was too good for one of our men and squeezed into third place. Any one of the first four men in this race can do fifty-three seconds without any trouble if tho conditions are favorable. Kuo and Lee of China were sup- posed to take half and mile runs, as they had won first and third and first and second in these races at previous meet at Shanghai in 1915, but the Chinese runners showed over confi- dence and poor head work in the mile race, running themselves out be- fore the last quarter. As they began to waver the Japanese runners put on a splendid burst of speed and the last hundred yards resolved itself into a anese classes are at best only a make- shift. It may be of interest to know that there are several Chinese residents who are members of the regular classes, having been introduced by thelr friends. W. Scott Ryan, formerly physical director of the Wichita, Kansasy, Young Men's Christian Association, arrived in January and will be asso- ciated with me in the physical de- partment work. Most of his time is now occupied In language studv. but he has been able to give some help in Yokohoma, especially sing¢2 the near approach of the far eastern championship games has claimed the major share of my time for several months. Work on the national headquarters building and on the physical depart- ment of the Tokyo Association has been progressing more slowly thaa we expected. We are in the midst of an expansion in equipment to which we have looked forward for vears, though while the machinery is being installed and supervisors nare | being trained the output is necessarily limited. The first period of my serv- ice out here seems to be given aver to installing new machinery in vari- ous places, but the time to which I look forward with greatest pleasure is when all new plants will begin to jus. tify themselves by a large output of direct Christian service. Respectfully submitted, F." H. BROWN. Athletics’ in Orient. The following letter has been re- ceived from Mr. Brown, giving the results of the Third Far Eastern Championship games held last May ind the encouraging progress which the Oriental athletes are making. The | association has members from China, { Japan, Malaya, Philippines and Siam who each year meet in competition, { each athlete representing his respec- | tive country. Thinking that perhaps you fellows would care to have a real line on the performances of the orfental ath- , letes T have set down a little dope in |ndd1non to that contained in the | newspaper clippings of the Far Fast I ern Championship Games recently { the wind blew right acr pretty fight between five Japenese.The half mile went about thes same, with Taku, winner of the mile, again tak- ing first. The Filipinos are never serious contenders in any race above a quarter mile, The ten mile Modified Marathon went as expected, five Japanese com- ing in ahead in pretty fast time, The first two men in this race also took first and second in a special twenty- five mile Marathon later in the week, doing it in record time for these parts, Five of the Chinese and Filipinos had been doing around five feet nine inches in try-out meets, but the take- off was rain soaked on the day the high jump came off and five feet six inches was the best they could do. It is interesting to note that the Filipino who won the discus throw was the smallest of the competitors in this cont being about five feet three inches tall! The winner of the shot put was far from being the lar- gest of the men in this event, and probably weighs about one hundred sixty pounds. By this you may know that some of the oriental athletes are learning proper form in the field events. The javelin throw was one of the stunts handicapped by the weather as s the throw- ing course. The Japanese and Fili- pino who took first and second have repeatedly thrown the spear well over one hundred fifty feet. Saito, the winner of this event, proved himself an all around athlete by also winning the fifty yard and one hundred yard swims, besides being a compotitor in the pentathlon; he was the highest individual point winner of the games. In the pentathlon and decathlon Japan was not looked upon to pro- duce an athlete capable of taking bet- ter than third place In the pentath- lon events one Chinese and one Fili- pino were well in the lead of the other competitors until the last event, the mile run, came off. A Japanese took this event by such a rge margin that it made his total score top the | list. 1n the decathlon the Filipinos showed their superiority as all around Lflthlles until the mile arrived when | the j this | finish repeated itself: and another Japanese stepped into first place. The winner of the pen- tathlon ran the mile in five minutes seventeen seconds, while the winner of the decathlon ran his mile in five minutes seventeen and two-fifths sec- onds; these performances, coming at the end of a strenuous all arouna contest, will bear comparison with any in the western part of the world. The Japanese swimmers had things all their own way, winning every race with ease and breaking all previous Far Eastern records. Although these | records are a long way from matching | the world’s best, they are pretty good when one considers the fact that not one of the men has yet mastered the real crawl stroke. It will not surprise American ten- nis followers to learn that Kumagae went through the singles tournament like a paper hoop. Fargas and Bo- lanos, of the Philippines, were too good for the other Japanese player. Fargas and Suares were expected to make things uncomfortable in the doubles, but Kumagae and Mikami dspiosed of fhem in . straight sets, Mikami having one of his good days and giving his stellar partner good support. China has a few pretty good players but none than can be classed as stars yet. the pentathlon F. H. Brown. SIAM LATEST TO WAR ON GERMANY i | The announcement that Siam has declared a state of war with Germany account of German intrigues the Asiatic kingdom carries far great- er significance than might at first be supposed, agcording to a statement made by John Barrett, director of the Pan-Afmerican union and formerly United States minister to Siam. “While Siam as a country,” he said, comparatively little known in the United States, and strategic on in it ranks as important a land in the Netherlands and Belgium in Europe. It is next to Japan the most progres- sive country on that continent, Asia as has a king and statesmen of unusual ability, a prosperous population of over 10,- 000,000 an area equal to that of France and an agricultural wealth unsurpassed in the world. “Its chief importance, however, in the present war crisis is that it is practically the rice granary or source of food supply for China, and its ac- tion may have a direct effect upon China's attitude toward Germany. It | also gives the allies now for the first time an unbroken favorable coastline all the way from China to the Medi- terranean for Siam was the only neu- tral territory in that entire distance of many thousand miles. It possesses an excellent little navy adequate to patrol the gulf of Siam coastline of nearly 2,000 miles.” The king of Siam is Maha Vijira- vudh or Vigirabudh.

The Taft murder is fresh enough in the minds of New Britain people to recall the fact that the murdered man was the chauffeur of the notorious “Venetian the Ford taxi in which he was killed.
