Through reading, more
and
more people are beginning to di­
scover a depth of significant va­
lues hidden in themselves. They
read because they find pleasu­
res and experiences laid before
them. These might be expressed
differently, but the imagination
of man can do wondrous things.

The average person, who sees
a poem in a newspaper or in the 9
middle of a book that he is rea- $
ding, will most often read the ^
poem-because it might bring si- £
gnificance to the article or chap- J
ter. However, the person
who E
picks up a poetry book, because 9
he feels like reading poems, is, S
in his own way, a poet.

The reunion of former Fairview
Gosakko students, their families
and friends, at the Toronto Ja­
panese Cultural Center on Sep­

tember 3, 1972 had a very spe­

day in May, 1971 when Martha

associated.
The evening ended with both

played a part in a rewarding ex­

happy to have met again after
so many years. Martha extended

g rain-drenched Ocean Falls to the sun-soaked Oka& nagan, from the logging -camps of Vancouver

cisions, put up a good show, and won themselves
many non-Japanese fans. As a result, these teams
were invariably invited to participate in the pro­
gramme of local celebrations. The Asahis, for in­
stance, during their peak years, were so popular an
attraction that they could not accept all the out-oftown. offe-rs.

About 1911 these two teams clashed at Powell
Grounds. This historic .encounter is shown in a> pic­
ture of the participants of whom three are still li­
ving in Canada. They are Mr. Ken Kitamura and
Mr. N. Hashimoto of Toronto, and Mr. M. Mitsui"
a veteran of World War I, in Hamilton. Another
player, the only Nisei in the game is Mr. T. Nagano,
the son of Canada’s first Issei, Manzo Nagano,
now living in California.

At a time when British Colombia’s Nikkei commu­

nities were constantly under fire and charged with
misdeeds and treasonous intent, the ball teams
were above suspicion. Yet, ironically, they played
under such chauvinistic .banners as the Nippons,
Mikados and Taiyos.

BEGAN AS BOYS’ CLUB
By the early 1900’s it was apparent that baseball was to be the prime sport among B.C.'s Ja• panese. It was flourishing among the American
Japanese; moreover, many of the Issei immigrants
had already played the game in Japan.
-In 1908, the Vancouver Nippons became the
first Nikkei team to be formed in Canada. It was
composed of youthful Issei and young men from
Japan temporarily in Canada, usually associated
with Japanese business firms. This was quickly

The Asahis began as a- boys’ club for the 'juve­
nile Nisei of the time. However, in
1914,
the
Asahis ball team from among 'its members was
formed, complete with uniform and equipment to
engage other teams including the Nippons. .. Its
first manager/coach was Matsujiro. Miyasaki who
• passed away in Japan several years ago.
Two members of the original 1914 squad are Ji­
ving. Pitcher Tea Furumoto is retired in Japan. One
of the ultra-rare long ball hitters who donned the
rising sun flannels, . Niichi Matoba,- a Nisei .born
before the turn of the Century, now makes
his
home in Toronto. He played until 1930 and carries
the scars of his diamond days in his gnarled .fin­
gers.

Soon after its formation, the Asahis became the
top team in the Nikkei community as it creamed
off the top players. With this added strength, the
-Asahis sought competition outside of its confines
and enter into league play. However, it also su­
ffered from growing pains, as in 1921 confronted
with dissension, the Asahis split into two teams,
vyith one unit barnstorming to Japan with indiffe­
rent results.
The rift was healed the following year
with
Harry Miyasaki (no relation) taking charge and'
entering the revitalized Asahis into the Terminal

If there is such a thing as the

ning of their name Asahi (mor­
