Several Rarons Seasick

But returning to the trip from New Or
leans As the ship Excelsior steamed out
of the Mississippi into the gulf some
''misereant' started the story that bur-
ricane was sweeping the gulf between
here and Havana" Instantly there was
scramble, and several Barons began
to feel something wrong" Presently
most of them were lined up along the
stern rail, disgorging things they ate
during the spring training 1t was a
toss up for honors between Gregory, Hogg
and Knsely.
A day or so ago the Barons We're the
guests of Gen. Demetrio del Castillo gov
ernor of Principe prison the model prison
of the world. They We're not guests in the
literal meaning of the term as applied to
the generals other guests, but We're
shown through the prison, and each given
a souvenir. Messenger gravey admit
ted it was the finest jail he was ever in.
The Barons have won the friendship of
all the Americans and Cubans with whom
they have come in contact by their gentle
manly bearing. One thing is very no.

bathing resort, they had their first dip
into the salt Everything was lovely I'M
til Roy ELAN gave a scream and gurgle
and disappeared beneath roller. Every
body rushed to what they thought might
be a rescue. He came up spouting water
and pointed toward the beach, a few
yards away. There, walking sedately
beneath a red parasol, was a young wom-
frs, very pretty one dressed in a smart
one-piece bathing suit. Roy accounted
for his near drowning by explaining he
thought the girl had suddenly got some
thing the matter with her, and was look
ing around for a doctor or her clothes.
Having heard of the yagaries of Cuban
courts. he didn't want to be a witness to
any dire scene, so he went UNDER and
got strangled. None of the other Barons,
however, suffered similarly.
The Barons are TO BE entertained next
Sunday at the Gardens Tropical by adj
miring fans. They have been given cards
to the Cuban Athletic club and the Club
Dependencies, the finest club in the world.
Other entertainments are being discussed,
and will probably be extended them be-
fore they leave.
