Hartmon refused to report on learn

and the baseball rules require that in
sending a man down to a lower

all of the other leagues in higher clas-

age by way OF Porto Rico. Barbados

OF the Amazon. and will then steam
up the great river into one Of its up
per tributaries. proceeding up the un-
charted stream until the shadows
check her. She will then be moored
and serve as headquarters for the ex-
pioring parties, which will use the gas
oline launch and canoes with which
she is equipped In order to reach those
points on the river which are not
navigable by the yacht herself. When

pleted in any given locality the collec-
tions will be assembled on the yacht,
which will then pass on to the next
tributary to be explored. Para or

directs its attention for the time being.
The main purpose of the expedition
is to study the Indian tribes OF the
Amazon valley, which have not been
studied In detail. and to collect for
the university museum specimens OF
their arts. Industries, customs and
modes OF life. Their songs will be re-
corded on the photograph. and their
