on the mainland. The place was safe from all
pursuers and there the pirates divided their spoils
and refltted for new raids. But in all the chron-
icles Of the buccaneers there is little mention Of
Curacao, and no record of its ever having been
attacked by them From 1894 when the Holland

MURPHY is MYSTERY
IN BASEBALL CIRCLES

New York.-Charles W. Murphy,
president of the Chicago baseball
club of the National league is caus-
ing more speculation and worry in
big league circles than is common at
this time of the year. When Mr..
Murphy's presence was first discov-
cred here, it was said by some who
are usually well informed, that he
was negotiating the trade Of Catcher
King to either New York or Brooklyn
and Manager McGraw of the New
York team in so much as he stated
that he was anxious to obtain a cash
consideration. But from the confer
ences which Murphy has held with
President John T. Bush of the New
York club and President Carles Eb-
belts of the Brooklyn club, the re-
port is now current that the Chicago
magnate is electioneering in the in
terests of James A. Hart, the former
Chicago owner, who has doomed up
conspicuously as a candidate to sue
ceed John A. Heydler as president of
the National league.
In this connection Murphy admits
! that King, who refuses to play with
Chicago, may play an important part.

Heydler's place, but he also wanted

was composed by Will Irwin, a gradu-
ate of Stanford, who is now a we'll
known magazine writer, and is written
to the tune of "A Son of a Gombolier. ="
In part, it is as follows:
oh, there's n road to Mayfield, as
plain as plain can be,
And if you want to see a wreck. just
take look at me,
For have been at Mayfield and tasted
of the beer
And that is why my eyes are weak;
I'll have to rest year.
CHORUS.
I'm a son of n son of a son of son of
a son of a gambolier,
A son of son of son of son of a
son of a gambolier,
Like every honest fellow 1 like my
lager beer,
I'm rambling wreck of poverty, a
son of a gambolier.
But We'll cheer for dear oil Stanford,
where the color of life is red.
Well rise and give the varsity" from

And when we mount the golden stairs
We'll give st. Peter the cue,
To join the rollicking chorus-'to hell

Never since the song was written by
Irwin have the students failed to sing
It at the football games. track meets

too. until the last few days. and its
strains have always heretofore evoked
a murmur of approval
But now has come a noticeable
change. Yesterday when some stu.
dents joined in the refrain they were
met with a storm of Kisses from the
coed section. The singers were dumb

Not until today did the reason fol
the outburst beco known among the
students,
Mrs. Allen, dean of Stanford womer

more time than the itinerary had
provided to seeing the irrigation
works in New Mexico and that
especially the Elephant Butte

the original itinerary the con-

Paso to Denver without making
any stop. Another instance Of
