white man was no adept and. 20 be brief,
was purely Indian. II required both Prov
ess and physique.
The prevailing idea in this, as well as in
other countries, is that the Indian is a
perfect athlete. Stamina, speed and Prov
ess are imposed to be the main com
ponents Of his makeup. And. generally
speaking. this is true. But there is one
athletic contest at which the aborigine has
not proved himself the equal Of the white
man. Base bail does not claim as many
Indian ball tossers as might be expected.
The descendants OF the original Inhabitants
Of the North American continent play the
game, but for some unknown reason few
Of them develop into big league material.

drafted John Bull Williams from the Mar

This means that the Giants will start the
season text year with two of the four
full-blooded Indians now making a busi-

a full blood Oneida and lives In a small

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-The cut in the
Vanderbilt cup circuit as provided for in
the petition of the Motor Cups company
to the Nassau county supervisors for the
use Of highways involved is most welcome
to followers of the automobile racing game.
The fact that the revival of the great road
classic which will be staged on October 30,
will be run over a circuit almost half the
