By BILL HOSOKAWA
Paul James and his wife Nilda drove up from Pueblo recently to see us. Paul sells radios and television sets for Sears Roebuck and Nilda works at the state �hospital. We first met a long time, ago in Singapore. How they got to the United States makes a. story which had better begin, 1 suppose, with Paul's father.
He was an Irish scholar who went to Siam as a tutor to the royal family. He married an Austrian girl and from' that union �wore born three boys,, one of whom was Paul. When Paul's, mother died, his father married, a. Siamese, woman of the royal, household and they had five 'daughters, several of -whom w/o? met in Singapore.
Paul owes his .arrival in the United States, which he thinks is the best thing lie. ever did, to the fact that as a youth lie went to Borneo to take a job in .'the^ oi!
fields.; �: �
There he met and worked with some American engiheers who taught him baseball. Paul thereafter became a., hopeless .baseball fanatic. When he returned to Singapore he promptly drummed-up interest and got a league, going.. The makeup of the league varied, but at the time I knew it there were four teams. They were the Americans/- made up of. rubber company representatives, National City bank people, merchants arid traders, with Consul-General Keith Pat ton as manager. __��
Then there, were the Japanese, mostly young men working for trading and mercantile firms, 'who had played ball in Japanese schools. Another team was made up of local'boys, mostly Eurasians. Paul headed this group, eatching, pitching or playing- first base- as the occasion demanded. The fourth team was-the Boyal .Air Force with.a couple o' Cair-adians and sonie Austra!iai.\s showing most of the. know-how.-
,.;Usually -the -Americans and Japanese topped th.e h;ague and put on some mighty_ fine contests. The others just came out for the [fun of it..

Baseball Fever High. U.S.-Japan Series Tickets Sold Out
Singapore, Paul's team was playing ball . one Sunday morning when a couple of young Americans wandered up. Faul got to yarning with them and invited them to borrow mitts and get into the game. It developed that the'Americans wore Denver college'students -making' a trip around the 'world on a pair of shoestrings. *
One thing led to-another and the Americans were guests in the James home for two months before they continued on their way.
Came the war, Nilda and her three children were .evacuated to India, through sub-infested waters, a week before Singapore fell to the Japanese .attackers.".'Paul had enlisted in. a medical uni* and was quickly imprisoned after Singapore fell early in 1942. It was 18 months before Nilda learned 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 American boys in Denver, just to renew friendships, and. first thing you know they weic being invited to migrate to the. USA.
Paul needed no additioiial urging. The ponderous wheels of tho inunigration service began to grind, and a year later the JanVes-es were on their way as quota immigrants. They landed in Los Angeles, came on to Denver .where their benefactors were living at the time.
That's the ond: Of the story, except that the Jameses are on the verge of getting 1 heir 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 citizensbi[� to enter training. The third child is a teen-ager busy with a ..thousand and one activities .in her sot in lmeblo.
All uf this,- to nie, makes a heartwarming" tittle story. .-'.-The" little bit of kindness the Jameses cast upon the waters a long time ago has returned to � the pi many1
