Long George Kelly Is Big Hero in Eyes of Japan’s Baseball Fans

WAITE HOYT, STAR YANK HURLER, WRITES SERIES OF STORIES FOR THE TIMES Thrills of Barnstorming Japan With a Big League Ball Team Told in Breezy Fashion by Youthful Diamond Ace, BASEBALLING in Japan 1 It furnished more thrills than a world series for the fortunate players in the selected teams of big leaguers who recently journeyed to the Orient to promote the national game and international good will. The Indianapolis Times today presents the first of a series of first-hand stories of this monumental expedition, as told to Billy Evans of XEA Service. ' By WAITE HOYT Pitcher for the New York Am ericans and World Serie3 Hero. GEORGE Kelly of the New York Giants was the outstanding hero of the baseball expedition to the Orient, from the Japanese viewpoint. The Japs being small of stature, Kelly, six feet four inches, was regarded as a superman, even in civilian clothes. Around the hotel or at the railroad stations Kelly was always the center of attraction. In a baseball uniform Kelly seems even taller, and when he and Johnny Lavan, who was playing short for our team, held a conference it always got- a big laugh. Lavan and Kelly were the Mutt and Jeff combination of the trip. Those two famous comic characters are almost as well known in Japan as this country.

Aside from the hitting ability of the Americans, the Japs marveled at our long-distance th.-owing, and the accuracy with which the outfielders could get the ball to the plate. Kelly has a great arm. His throwng ability, added to his size, also piped to make him a big hero in the yes of the Jap fans. Even more interesting to some of he fans than the game itself was 'elly’s exhibition of long-distance browing. This was an added feature •fore each game. Throws Long Ones Standing in the outfield, at the remotest point in the park, or at the some plate, Kelly would make several brows after getting his arm properly warmed up. On every occasion his nal throw would pass out of the confines of the park. None of the Jap players could come close to equaling such a feat as Kelly would daily put over. Naturally his Utility nelped make him a big favorite. The throwing arm of the Jap is a peculiar affair. From short distances be can get good speed on the ball. The infielders are abie to get the ball across the diamond as fast as our r layers, and most of th*> pitchers have better than the average speed, but coConelsopen SEASON CITY Oh, boy, look who’ll be at Washington Park for the opening day attraction! Louisville at Indianapolis April ID tor the curtain game in the grand start of the 1923 American Associa tion season at Washington Park. The fans couldn’t have made a rosier choice. Any time the Colonels come to town there’s something doing and with that gang from julep land and fast horses booked to provide the opening day attraction at the Tribe lot, well, get your tickets early!

A chart of 168 games will be played with the final cbhtesi set for Oct. 7. The schedule provides for three trips around the circuit sot each team. Owner Smith of the Indians lost ir his effort to have the player drafl restored, but he saw his movement favored by two other clubs. Toiedc joined him and one other unnamed team voted his way. Five magnates voted to continue to oppose the drafl and anything that looked like it.

they are unable to make the ball carry any great distance. A Big Favorite Kelly, by the way, will continue to remain a favorite in Japan for some time. He was engaged by a movie licture concern over there to play the ending role in a tiiin featuring baseball. Kelly’s great popularity with the fans won for him the loading role. He is the hero, of course. After being kidnaped by some Jap bandits, so that he will not be aide" to ptay in the big game of the year, Kelly knocks out eight Jap guards, makes good his escape and arrives at the ball park just in time to bat in a pinch and make a home run with the bases filled, winning the ball game and the hero as well. it is possible the picture will also Le shown In this country. Kelly will always be welcome in Japan. Next: How the American invaders lost the only game they dropped on the trip.
