IS WON
BY INDIANS
Defeat Tempe High and Take
Republican Trophy
VERY REMARKABLE RECORD
Champions of Valley Are
Best Team Indian School
Ever Had. Systematic
and Scientific Training
Has Inevitable Result.

Outclassing the south siders at ev-
cry turn. the baseball team Of che
Phoenix Indian school, on its avn
grounds. walloped the Tempe high
school nine yesterday afternoon TO the
tune of 10 to 3. The game clinched the
claims of the Indians 10 the champion
ship OF the Salt river valley and to the
possession of The Republican trophy
cup for the ensuing year.
The largest crowd ever assembled at
the Indian school grounds was on hand
when the game began. 4 large delega-
ton was over from Tempe. Many
normal rooters were there in strong
hopes of seeing the high school win
the game and thus tie all three teams
in the league. But their hopes were
doomed to disappointment. During the
second inning some of the normalites
rose. fought their way out of the crowd
and wendell their way toward the gate.
Whereupon the band began to play
Home Sweet Home
For the game was won in the first
inning. Four hits were secured by the
Indians and six runs. II was simply a
walkaway for the redskins. They were
entirely too fast and well trained for
their paleface rivals.
Two more runs in the second inning
made II even more hopeless for Tempe.
Then came along the fourth with an
other run and the fifth with still an
other. During the first four innings.
when Morales was in the box for the
Indians, the Tempe boys didn't get a
hit Only two of them struck out. but
whenever they did connect with the
hOrsehide il netted nothing. Not once
were the Indians in serious danger OF
being scored against.
Along came the seventh. when the
visitors melted three runs. They only
made one hit in this inning. but Jimmie
Kill, on first base. made three errors.
One wild throw and two misses by
Kill made it possible for three south
siders to cross the pan. The roOters
from across the river made the most
of their opportunity, but they knew all
the time that Temples chance To over
come the lead of the Indians wasn't
worth speaking about above "A whis-
per
The game wound up without another
score on either side The Indians
knew that they had the game won. but
this didn't make them careless. OF
course they might have rolled up a
heavier score if they had chosen to do
so, but that is doubtful.
Some criticism of the Indian man
ayers was made when. at the end of
the fourth. Morales was replaced by
Felize in the pitchers box. Morales
work had been splendid and there was
no apparent reason for prying him off
He wasn't tired. either. The explana-
ton is that the Indians had their plan
of campaign mapped out in advance
and they never deviate from plan
unless there is some strong reason for
doing so. They had arranged To have
Felize pitch the last five innings and
carried out that plan. Felizes work
was entirely satisfactory.

New York. July S.-Even the reappear-
ance OF Julia MarIowe and E. H. Sothern
in Shakespearean repertoire failed to Gre
ate a stir among the theateT habitues Of
the metropolis, whose whiting collars,
dropping spirits, and rabid thirst called
all too plainly for the mere comfort of
coolness at the expense of all else. As
a result, their weeks repertoire, which
was to have Included Macbeth on Mon
day and Tuesday nights and Wednesday
matinee. THE Tanning of the shrew'' on
Wednesday night. Hamlet" on Thursday
night, 1.-The Merchant of Venice" on Fri
day, Romeo and Juliet at the Saturday
matinee, and Twelfth Night on Satur-
day night, was called of after one siz-
zling performance.
1t was too hot for heavyweight drama.
Thousands who would have welcomed
the opportunity to feast esthetically at
the performances of these two great
portrayers of the late Mr.. Shakespeare's
dramatic masterpieces glanced casually at
the announcement of their appearance
at the Broadway Theater, took slant
at the thermometer, examined the fam
lily bankroll, and hailed the nearest con-
veyance to one of the beaches that sur
round New York. Even those unfortu-
mates who are cursed with a desire for
art of the dramatic genius turned with
a sigh OF relief to the many roof gar

graced by the New Theater building are
laden with the fragrance of Central Park
flowers and trees and tempered by breezes
from the Atlantic. So captivated was
Schenck with the aforementioned combi-
nation that he straightway deserted them
to spend some eight heated hours in con-
vincing the directors of the ilI-omened
building that little music and judicious
advertising would lure shekels from the
pockets of perspiring New Workers.
His efforts had their fruition this week,
when the Century Roof, which is located
in the exact spot where Schenck first
had his inspiration, opened with a series
of concerts before an ever-increasing
crowd of straw-hatted comfort seekers.
Those supposed patrons of music, how
ever, evinced a fondness for the cooling
clink of ice in tall tumblers that at once
dissipated any idea they paid their good
money for Herr Schenck's tuneful Offer
ings alone. After the first blow to vanity
that this exposition brought forth,
Schenck, with true diplomacy, bowed to
the inevitable and changed his repertoire
to orchestral pieces plentifully inter
spersed with the not unrnusicar jangle of
sleighbells. The sleighoell innovation
proved a great success. Most any one
would travel a long distance to sit next
a. piece of ice and listen to tinkling bells
that conjure up memories of frosty
nights in these sweltering days.

dens, where brass-blade breezes bring a
semblance of GOODNESS. The only thing
that could have drawn the heat-ridden
citizenry to the Broadway was a pipe
line from the arctic.
Aside from the Marlowe-Sothern heat
prostration, another dramatic enterprise
took the black wagon to that last rest
ing place of ill-managed or mediocre
plays-the theatrical burying ground.
This victim of theatrical vicissitude was
no other than the East Side Folies Ber-
gere," the Terrace Garden hope OF
penniIess SWANS" that started its ca
reer with an opera-dinner-vaudevil
taXi-two-dollar lineup and a popularity
unprecedented in New York's theatrical
annals.
Mismanagement is said to be the rock
upon which the venture foundered. The
show seems to have been started with
little else but a fertile imagination.
United States currency was sadly lack
ing, and the performers, grown tired of
conversation money in lieu of the real
article, made a demand for salaries that
ended what appeared to be one Of the
best bets of the metropolis.
The only other event of interest in the
dramatic world that centers about New
York is the discovery of Elliot Schenck,
late conductor of the New Theater or
chestra, that the upper air currents OF

Secretary Bird.

The strange long-legged bird inhab-
iting portions of South Africa, which
has the peculiar title of secretary
bird. owing to the tuft of feathers re-
sembling a bunch OF quilts behind the
ear of a bookkeper or secretary, has
some very odd habits.
1t is a bird that seldom uses its
wings ip flight, unless it deems 1t nee
essary to avoid some enemy on the sur
face. 1t can run when disturbed at
about the same rate a horse can travel,
but IL 1t resorts to wing flight, 1t can
raise itself several hundred feet, in the
air and fly quite rapidly.
They are great snake-killing birds,
and resort to some rather unique meth
DDS in capturing the various reptiles
found in that country.
The nest Of the secretary bird is GER,
tainly a novelty. 1t is seldom con-
structed anywhere except in a tall tree,
These nests are mammoth anairs. The
materials used are heavy sticks and a
lot of Jumps of sod. These are placed
in the forks of a stout branch and the
whole nest lined with a fine grass or
moss. Two eggs are usually deposited,
and incubation by the female bird lasts
six weeks.
The young secretary birds have to re-
main in their nest for several months.
as it requires long time for them to
gain strength enough to walk. Their
bones are rather brittle. and the very
slender legs are often broken before the
bird has attained full size.

A pile of bare bones bleaching on a

is Golgotha, a place of skulls. Now
this heartless custom OF leaving the
bodies to the mercies of preying animals

soon to pass. Bishop P. T. Rowe. of the
Episcopal Church. recently ordered the
skulls and bones of some 1eOo Eskimos,
dead long ago, to be collected and in

Point Hope; and the white men win try
to teach the natives other practices than
their pagan ores.
Travellers in the arctic regions saw that
nothing so impresses them as these
weird, eyer-present piles of whitened
skulls. Some have lain for centuries on
their beds of moss, their hollow eyes
looking toward the polar stars; and
they crumbie like chalk into dust at the
touch.
When explained the Eskimos's prac-
tices in this matter seem reasonable
enough. In winter the digging Of a
grave is impossible; and even IN mid
summer the ground beneath the cover

The funeral of an Eskimo is a cere-
