10-Pin Bowling Picks Up
As Six Crack 500 Mark
Seems like the keglers are be
ginning to pick up a little after
their early slump as six men
cracked the 500 mark in the last
session of the Toronto Nisei Mix
ed Ten-Pin League Friday at
Olympia Edwards.,
Leading those who topped the
500 mark was S. Kondo with a
triple of 548(198) and trailing
just one point behind him was
George Kubota with 547(196).
Other high scores were C. Shi
mizu's 541(208), Lanky Kadonaga’s 528(195), Johnny Korekiyo’s 511(199) and Sub Miike's
500(189).

U.S.-Japan Series
Tickets Sold Out
TOKYO. — Tickets for the
forthcoming series between the
American major lea.gue all-stars
and the Japanese pro-ball all
stars are about as scarce as the
tickets to the 1953 World Series
in the States.
Thousands of baseball-crazed
fans stormed the box offices
demanding the ducats.
The Japanese “World Series”
begins Oct. 9 ■with the Tokyo
Yomiuri Giants of the Central
League, Japanese champs for the
past two years, matching bats
with their probable rival, Osaka’s
Nankai Hawks, of the Pacific
League.
Then comes the American in
vasion. Five games are scheduled
in Tokyo with seven others in
principal cities throughout Japan.
Singapore, Paul’s team was play
ing ball one Sunday morning
when a couple of young Ameri
cans wandered up. Paul got to

them to borrow mitts and get
into the game. It developed that
the Americans were Denver col

One thing led to another and
the Americans were guests in the
James home for- two months be
fore they continued on their way.
Came the war, Niida and her
three children were evacuated to
India, through sub-infested wat
ers, a week before Singapore fell
to the Japanese attackers. Paul
had enlisted in a medical unit
and was quickly imprisoned after
Singapore fell early in 1942. It
was 18 months before Niida learn
ed that Paul was safe, though
somewhat hungry, in a PW camp.
After the Japanese surrender,
Singapore was in shambles. The
Jameses wrote to the two Ameri
can boys in Denver, just to renew
friendships, and first thing you
know they were being invited to
migrate to the USA.
Paul needed no additional urg
ing. The ponderous wheels of the
immigration service began to
grind, and a year later the James
es were on their way as quota
immigrants. They landed in Los
Angeles, came on to Denver
where-their benefactors were liv
ing at the time.
That’s the end of the story,
except that the Jameses are on
the verge of getting their second
papers and becoming full-fledged
American citizens. The older son,
Kevin, served a hitch in Korea
with U.S. forces, was discharged
as a sergeant and is now married
and living in Pennsylvania. The
second son, Desmond, is in the
army, was selected for officer
candidates school, and is awaiting
only citizenship to enter training.
The third child is a teen-ager
busy with a thousand and one
activities in her set in Pueblo.
All of this, to me, makes a
heartwarming little story. The
little bit of kindness the Jameses
cast upon the waters a long time
ago has returned to them manyfold.

Seems like the keglers are be
ginning to pick up a little after
their early slump as six men
cracked the 500 mark in the last
session of the Toronto Nisei Mix

Leading those who topped the
500 mark was S. Kondo with a
triple of 548(198) and trailing
just one point behind him was
George Kubota with 547(196).
Other high scores were C. Shi
