Colon, and staying there over
night, we started on our return
trip for the states. The voyage
across the Caribbean sea and the
Gulf of Mexico was ideal, the
water, most of the time being
very smooth. AS we approached
the mouth of the Mississippi a
dense fog surrounded US, and as
the passage way into the river
out of the Gulf is very narrow,
and as the fog was so dense, we
came near running onto a sand
bar, as it was impossible to see
more than a few feet ahead.
After getting into the Missis-
issippi, our first stop was at the
United States Quarantine Station
where we were all inspected as
to our health. Arriving OF New
Orleans at about eleven o'clock
at night, the task of unloading
the ships cargo of bananas was
completed.
We then had the day before us,
and like most of the other sight
seers we took one of the seeing
automobile runs. The party
consisted of my father, myself
and a gentleman coming from
Panama like ourselves and three
ladies who we ascertained later
were all from Denver.
New Orleans, as most every
one knows, is a city with a great
deal of ancient history, and has
about 375, 900 inhabitants. The
portion first settled in some re.

While at Alamorante l saw
some people coming in with some
nice strings of fish, and l got it
into my head that l would like to
go and fish, and so arranged it
with a gentleman. We did not
have any luck, but l saw stick
of wood in the water and asked
my friend what it was and he
informed me that it was a bouy
and that there was a fish trap at
the bottom: l then said, What's
the matter with taking it up and
get the fish," And he said that
we were near the willows, and
that the custom was in that
country that when they caught
a man taking a fish trap, to shoot
him on the spot. l then decided
that we had better abandon the
project.

up-to-date part is very beautiful.
Here my father and myself
separated, he returning by way
of Houston and Galveston, Texas.
whileI,took the IllinoisCentral via
Memphis and St Louis. The run
from New Orleans to Memphis
was quite interesting, the first
portion of it for some fifty or
hundred miles being largely
through swamp and timber, after
that some small towns, with saw
mills apparently as their princi-
pie industry, with the old time
work ox-team, such as Colorado

beast of burden. At one point
truck gardening seemed to be in
dustriously followed, and it was
said that tomatoes at this point
were being raised at very large
profit on account of their ripen-
ing at a season when they were
very scarce in other localities.
In a portion of this territory
the bald weasel has made its ap-
pearance and destroyed the cot
ton industry which has reduced
the price of land in places as low
as $500 to $40 per acre, and if

clity with which the Cubs defeated the
Giants was often laid at Hanks door.
ODay was one Of the umpires In the IA
nous game between the Giants and Cubs
In 1908 when Merkle failed TO touch second
base. 1t was his report to the late Presi-
dent Puliam that led to the replaying Of
the game.
O'Day has been identified with baseball
as a player or umpire for more than
twenty years. In 1856 he and Connie Mack,
the great manager OF the Athletics, formed
ODay being the pitcher. The Washington
team was then I'm the old American Asso-
citation. In 1859 O'Day went 10 the Brook

played In the worlds championship game
with the Louisville club. The question as
as the Brotherhood trouble was then at
It's height. Later O'Day became one Of
the star twirlers on the staff of the New

Hank O'Day To Manage
the Cincinnati Red's
Arch Enemy of Giants,
in McGraw's Mind.
Gives Up Job as
an Umpire.

Henry ODay. better known as pam
simple, Hank" the veteran umpire of the
National League, is the new manager OF
Griffith August Hermann. president OF
the club made this announcement at the
meeting OF the league in the WaIdorf-As
toria Yesterday. Like a thunderbolt out of
clear sky. it fell on the heads of the as
scmtled fans" and critics who we're hrst
disposed To ieer. then to laugh and then
10 applaud Several days ago Mr. Herr
mann stated that he had some one III
mind whose name had not been mentioned.
This seemed almost impossible AZ nearly
everyone I'm one way or another had been
picked for the berth. O'Day. however was
never considered and his appointment came
more as n shock than surprise.
O'Day attended the meeting Of the league
for a few minutes and asked President
Lynch TO express his appreciation for the
consideration which he had received In his
years of service. In departing from the
ranks of the umpires. he wished tho rest
Of the staff the best Of fortune.
O'Day is one Of the best known officials
in baseball. especially around New York.

him and John J. McGraw, manager of the
Giants during the last decade, has been
the delight OF the partisan fans in this
city. WHO looked upon him as the arch
enemy OF the New York club. In spite Of
the local feeling against him, however,
fair minded critics have always been dis
posed TO rate him as one Of the best um-
pires in either league, and his loss will be
severely felt.
The smile that will creep over the face Of
McGraw when he learns the news may
readily be imagined. Basking in the balmy
breezes OF Cubas coral strands, the little
Napoleon probably will take occasion to
invent a new monologue of terse sayings to
cast at the feet of O'Day when the Reds
and Giants meet for the first time next
season.
The appointment OF ODay by Hermann
Is not without its humor. 1t will be re-
membered that when the Giants were in
the thick Of the pennant fight last August
and the Cubs had not been disposed Of,
Frank Bancroft, secretary Of the Cincinnati
club, sent a telegram to McGraw telling
him to beware Of O'Day whom he charged
with showing partiality to the Cubs. He
even went so far as 10 warn McGraw not TO
play with O'Day umpiring.
Needless to say the hand OF President
Lynch was not to be forced, and O'Day
umpred the critical series between the
Cubs and the Giants on the last Western
trip. Bancroft soon retracted all that he
said about the umpire and admitted that
he spoke hastily. Now he and O'Day are
thrown together as officials OF the same
club.
Hank has never been as popular as an

BILLY UVICK QUITS RING
Leaves After Nine Rounds of
Boxing with Burke.

Billy Uvick. the Nebraska Thunderbolt," ="
quit cold and left the ring after the ninth
round of @ ten-round bout with Sailor
Burke at the Royal Athletic Club Of
Brooklyn. last night. The battle was fairly
even for the first five rounds, with Uvick
forcing the pace and landing hard with
both hands. Burke boxed prettily and coun-
tered with his left TO the head and Jaw, but
the sturdy Westerner never backed up or
stopped his attack. Burke fired away with
his right hand for the head. but 1t was late
in the battle before he connected with It TO
any effect.
Burke nailed his man with solid right

Uvick was far from beaten man. The
seventh round marked the end OF Uyick's
effectiveness. He came out and led his

with his left hand and crossed his right in
side to the head. The punch closed Uvick's
left eye. and Burke drove him around the
ring with both hands.
The ring generalship Of Willie Lewis en-
abled him to win by a close margin from
Billy West in a ten-round bout at Browns
Gymnasium last night. The boxers stalled.
loafed and otherwise amused themselves
much to the disgust Of the crowd. Several
times the referee told them to fight or get
out Of the ring, but they refused absolutely
to do either, and the rounds dragged along.
Lewis merted disqualification several times
for butting, and judged from his showing
of last night he IS still far from ever being
champion OF the welterweight class.

fact that the league race was close and not
