INDIAN ATHLETICS WILL
Be REVIVED AT PORTLAND

PORTLAND, Ore, April 27.-An
opportunity will be afforded visitors
to the Lewis and Clark exposition,
opening in Portland, June /, to see
the odd athletic sports Of various
American Indian tribes. These should
prove of unusual interest to those
who have had little or no acquaint-
ance with these native Americans, in
the true sense of the term. II. w.
Kerrigan, manager of the exposition
athletic events, after considerable
correspondence with Indian tribes and
with the officials of the government
Indian schools, has set aside August
II as Indian day.
One of the most interesting and
bewildering sports to be seen will be
a game similar to the pole and ring
contests of white men. A long pole,
with leather thongs wrapped around
its middle, and a ring are utilized for
the game. With quick movement
the Indian throws the pole so that 1t
travels through space about foot
above ground, and almost simultane-
puSly He thio"S IiiC ms IL 'iiN ms
falls on the pole or on any of the
thongs, points are made. The deX-
terity required to play this game
successfully is astonishing.
There are none who are not ia
miliar with the good old game of
leap frog" in which was found such
keen delight in school days. The In
dams have a game which might be
termed leap frog" but it is exceed
ingly more difficult than the game
played by young Americans. In the
Indians game, the contestants jump
over erect figures instead of stopped
ones A shrug of the shoulder Will
throw the jumper off his balance.
He must needs be dexterous to avoid
being bested by the man over whom
he is jumping.
There is probably no race so ex-
citing as an Indian pony race. These
races will feature the Indian day
events at the exposition The ponies
are all sturdily built little equines
and fleet of foot. No colors are used
to distinguish the riders. They APP
pear nude, except for loin bands. An
awful whoop and the race is on-re-
volvers are not used for the start.

riders yelling like madmen. Neck and

THE ART OF LIVING


1t is an art too much neglected in
these hurried days.
The tendency toward material gain,
the craving for position and personal
place. the increasing appetites for
fame and fashion, are all more or
less hostile to it's development and
growth.
Deserving of the highest and most
prominent place in the catalogue of
human attainments, 1t is often made
secondary to those far inferior
To get along" in the world seems
the shibboleth of the newer genera
ton, rather than to live nobly and
well.
This is not strange, neither is it a
phase of the times to be greatly fear
ed. AS with most things of the sort,
time is needed to right it-time and
the work and words of those who see
above the mountain tops of material
ism into the clear sky of common
sense and the spirit.
Out of this marsh may grow and
bloom the best flowers of the future.
The mistakes of today are the foun-
dations on which we build the lasting
towers of tomorrow.

To one sweet soul who lived among

GAINING GRACE WITH THE FOIL

ing can be acquired without assist
ance.
But the woman desiring to possess
those qualities dear to the heart femi-
nine. may, at little expense, gain her
desire by a few moments daily prac-

A foil is not necessary. A light
wand will do as well and the thrusts
and lunges, at an imaginary opponent,
and the various positions OF guard,
can be gone through rapidly for or
10 minutes every morning.

Stage fright other kind of hoodoo fright set
tied upon the Indians in the first league game of the
yesterday and caused them to pieces at critical
times thereby letting in Elders for which should not
have been.
The batting of the Indians not of the star variety
and "Silver" Durllams work in the box for Salt Lake
cast halo Of joy about the Uranium of Charley Reilly
who is still playing ball just hard in the past.
The worst humiliation to the Spokane lads when
the Elders got onto the ball in the seventh inning and
pounded it most any old way until three to the good
were made After that it just of the Indians
staying around until the ninth inning.
The cold weather didn't brighten the regular fans and
the first game showed attendance of about 1900 people,
Mayor Boyd put the first two balls and his place
was taken by parick who real good friend of the
visitors.
The score ended 7 to 2
Umpire McCrea did things at the go off which stamped
him victim of stage fright too. He got badly ratified
at the beginning but steadied down toward the end.
Spokane did not play the speedy game the boys
have been putting up practice and about the only
is stage fright and cold day.
