On the defense Lord has always ranked
as topnotchcr. He Is no greyhound for
speed. but covers about as much ground
as any left fielder. He is an expert Judge
OF fly ball and starts for the ball at the
crack of the bat. He Is particularly
effective in gathering in long drives over
his head. AS thrower. Lord has no
superior in the major leagues. His sensa-
tional throwing has frequently broken up
rallies Of the Athletics rivals.
Lords Career.
Lord made Ais major league debut with
the Athletics in 1906. He played three
seasons here but in the spring Of 1908
was sent to New Orleans, where he play
ed two years.
Cleveland obtained him in the spring
Of 1909. and he stayed with the Maps
until the middle Of the season of 1910.
when he was traded to the Athletics.
Lord has the unusual record Of helping
the Athletics win three pennants and two
worlds championships during a connec-
ton with the Mackmen of less than five
seasons.
From an ordinary outfieider he Is now
regarded as one of the stars Of the
American League.

GROTESQUE DANCES.
Yaqui Natives Wear Antlers and Jump
Like Deer.

Yaqui Natives Wear Antlers and Jump
Like Deer.
Natives of the Yaqui region in Mex
leo make use of queer costumes In
their dances. Seated on the ground
around fire. four good singers chant
dialogues between the deer and other
animals and birds. such as the coyote,
the jaguar, the wolf, the bear, the eagle
and the hawk. Their music is made
by beating with small sticks. saturated
In blood and then dried. on ''guegas" or
tightly stretched mats of plated tule
leaves.
The dancer ties on his head the skin
and horns of the head of a deer-which
is often better than his own-and from
his belt of deer hide hang many deer
hoofs, which rattle continuously as he
goes through the steps of the dance.
In his hands he carries two large rat
ties. made of gourds partly filed with
pebbles. These he also shakes to keep
time to the music.
The dancer tries to initiate, as far
as possible. the movements of the deer.
He shakes himself sideways and with
his hands makes motions similar to
those of the deer's long white tail as
the animal goes running swiftly over
the plain, leaping through the I'M
derbrush or trying to free himself
from the files which infest the valleys
of the mountains. He whirls around.

SOME DISTRICT

Washington, May S1.--The arrival Of
General Monteagudo at the front as
the commander-in-chief Of The Cuban
federal forces, is being closely watch
ed here. His success orsfailure is ex-
pected to forecast the ability Of the
federal government to cope with the
situation.
Should the rebel bands continue 10
attack foreign property it is possible
that the United States will send a
fleet of small vessels to variods points
bordering on the rebel zones to have
marines on hand for immediate action.
The fact that the rebel leaders in
the present revolution are giving re-
ceipts for property taken in the name
Of Estenoz, is believed here to indi-
cate that the movement is an orsanlz-
ed and an earnest one.
In army circles here the failure of
the Cuban federal forces to make a:iy
headway against the rebels is believed
to be due to the fact that the govern
ment forces have been compelled to
place themselves on the defensive by
dividing up and attempting to FUR
nish small detachments to many for
eign properties which are demanding
protection.
Positive assurances have been re-
eeiyed from the Cuban government
that force Of Cuban troops has been
sent to guard the property of the
Spanish American Mining company at
Daiquiri on the south coast of Oriep-
te near Guantanamo.
