from America Tokio, Aug. 27.
News has just been received here that Herbert Hunter, with his two star teams of American_baseball-players, will arrive in Japan on October 31.
The two teams that Hunter is bringing with him have been chosen from among the players of the American and National League combinations, and will play a series of exhibition games in Japan, China, and the Philippine Islands. Among those who are known to be making the trip to the Far East is Roger Hornsby, the star second baseman of the St. Louis National league team, who is leading the League in batting and fielding and is rivalling Base Ruth in home-run driving.
Herbert Hunter will be well remembered in Japan as the coach of the Waseda and Polo University teams last winter. He left Japan in the spring: to take his place with the St. Louis National league team.—Reuter.
