WERE MAYAs BABYL0NlANs7

The towers and pyramids built by
the Mayas, the ancient civilized in
habitants of Mexico. who fourished
before the Aztecs, are the greatest
wonders of antiquity In America.
An interesting theory, now strong
ly held by scientists and scholars OF
the Smithsonian Institution, is that
the Mayas are descended from the an
cient people of Babylon who were dis
persed over the face Of the earth aft
er the capture of that famous city by
Cyrus
If this be so, then the ancient Mayas
built the tower Of Babel Of the Bible,
and those inhabitants Of the earth
were in a sense Americans. This view
is confirmed in great degree by the
extraordinary resemblance between
the ruined towers and pyramids of
Babylonia and those built by the
Mayas in Yucatan. In addition to this
there Is other evidence that the Mayas
came from somewhere in Asia
The tower of Babel was the largest
one of many a similar structure OF
pyram1dal shape in Babylon which
were crowned with temples. But
where the ancient Assyrians con-
structed scores Of such terraced tow
ers the Mayas built thousands, many
of them of huge size and of substan-
TALLY the same pattern-likewise up

SUBMITS ~.
According to the Maya legend.
Xelhuc, one of the seven giants who
survived the deluge. erected a pyra-
midal tower Of enormous height for
the purpose of storming heaven. But
the offended gods destroyed the Ian
guages OF the builders.
The pyramids of Yucatan are square
or rectangular In shape. Some are
nearly one hundred feet high, and the
largest Is more than five hundred feet
square They have sloping sides,
some are nearly vertical, and many
rise In steps. Faced with stone and
dressed smooth or plastered and en-
beIlished with sculptures, they are as

MAYOR PUTS MATCH ON TRIAL
FAKE MEANS DEATH OF GAME

One more bad looking wrestling
match will mean the death of the sport
in Chicago.
This. in substance, was the edict of
Mayor Harrison yesterday when asked
what action he intended to take con-
corning the mat game as result of
the wretched exhibition of Coorderelli
against Petersen Monday night
It's not fair to hold US responsible
for the lack of courage on the part of
Coorderelli.'' said Matchmaker Joe
Coffey of the club. We thought the
match was a good one when 1t was ar
ranged, and the first inkling we had
that Coorderelli was not any too con-
fident was when he asked us for the
money before going into the ring. He
will not be offered another match by
us and any other wrestler who refuses
to give his best efforts will be black
listed by the Empire A. c.
II defy any person to produce proof
that any member of the Empire Ath-
letic club. which promoted the wrest-
ling show at the Coliseum Monday
, night, took part in framing up a fake
or to prove that any match on thai
card was a frameup among the wrest-
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1912-01-04

lers and managers. For such a person
the club will post $4,000, which is his
when the proof Is produced.
Suppose it had been framed up for
Coorderelli to lose. don't you suppose
1t would have been after an exhibition
such as would have made the fans
stand up and cheer? Such an exhibit
ton would have made the match appear
like frameup even If ii were on the
level. Now every fair mindd man
knows that match that is dead on the
level Is likely to terminate in a few
minutes did Gotch's match with
Hackenschmidt- 1t is the square match
that the ignorant ones fuss and fume
about Coorderelli dislocated the
thumb on his left hand and refused to
do his best after that. We should not
be blamed for something we could not
prevent. We tried out best to make
the Turk wrestle, but he had no heart
to do
The fans who were dissatisfied with
the wrestling card Monday night are
in minority That was shown from
the fact that three-fourths of the
crowd stayed at the Coliseum until 1
o'clock to watch the outcome of the
