Chief BattiSte Leaves Galldudet;
May Play Professional Baseball
Buff and Blues Wonderful
Indian HurIer Leaves Col
lege-Future Undecided.

Hume l. Rattiste. better known as
Chief" the wonderful Indian hurler OF
the Gallaudet College baseball team. and
also one Of the fastest quarter-milers In
the South. yesterday quit the Kendall
Green institution.
Battiste has received several offers 10
play professional baseball but did not
Intend 10 accept one until the close OF
the college season. Chief got into a little
trouble with the faculty, and decided to
quit at once.
Manager Griffith, of the Nationals, will
give the Redskin chance when the
team returns from Charlottesville, as the
framing quarters are over-crowded now
Manager Griffith has heard a great deal
about the wonderful ability of the In
dian. and decided before the team left
for Charlottesville to give him a chance
As Battiste made up his mind TO duit
school so suddenly, Manager Griffith
has not had time to look over the train
ing camp TO see if he can make room
by hook or crook
Battiste is rather light for a big league
pitcher. weighing but $50 pounds, but
what ne lacks in weight he makes up
in ability. Last summer. pitching for
some OF the best semi-pro teams in
Cleveland, Hume was a star of the first
water. Late last fall. Manager Birming-

JOHN LEBARK LOSES
TO GREEK ATHLETE
Kilonis Disposes of German in Two
Straight Falls in Fast
Time.

John kilonis. the local Greek middle
weight wrestler. won his bout over Jack
Lcbark last night at the Lyceum Theater
in two straight falls within onc-half
hour. The first fan was gotten in sew
enteen minutes and thirty-ive seconds
on a douhle-Nelson with the legs. and
the second in eleven minutes and live
seconds.
Although kllonis disposed Of Lcbark
in CrcditabIe manner. il did not take
any of the spirit out OF the Dutchman,
as after the last fall he persisted in
charging the Greek, and il was only
with police interference that he was
stopped. The German proved TO he a
heavyweight. with hut little knowledge
Of the catch-as-catch-Can game. and as
in his argument before the match start
ed, he desired the Greco-Roman style.
but he is well worthy OF the title of the

Bun and Blue baseball team last season.
and was also captain OF the team in 1911.
This season he has started the CandI-
dates to work early. and prospects for a
winning team were bright. until he quit
college.
Chief won many races on the track for
the Kendall Green institution, among
them being second in the University of
Pennsylvania relay event for Southern
colleges and the 4i0-yard South Atlantic
championship
IN Cleveland last summer Chief ran
under tho colors Of the Cleveland Ath-
ietic Club, and defeated cracks from
fttsburg and Buffalo in 4 tri-city meet
lie ran on the same relay team with
Cooke. the American Olympic winner.
Last night, when the boys at college
heard that Battiste had quit a big
demonstration was made, with the red
skin as the central figure. The boys all
hated to see the popular athlete leave
college, and many a sad face turned
away when the wonderful Indian lad bid
farewell To Gallau udet.
Battiste's plans for the near future are
not complete. He does not know " hat
he will do, and until he hears from Man
aEcr Gritfith ill remain in town If the
Nationals pilot will be unable to use him
until tine team returns to Washington,
Chief Will Leave for Cleveland to pay a
visit to his home. c W S

GIANTS GET REVENGE.
Defeat Colts in Seven-innInE Battle
by 10 to > Count.

Marlin. Tex. March 6.-The Giants
regulars. minus the services Of Doyle
and Snodgrass whose places were TAX
en- by Evers and Robertson, took re-
venge on the Colts in a seven and a
half inning game to-day. The score
was 10 to ;. Larry Doyle is in fine
shape and McGraw thought it best to
rest him up. The regulars all seemed
to be in better condition than they
have been at any time this season.
Crandall blames his lame legs on
the long sessions spent chasing i'm
possible fly catches. McGraw uses this
system to give his pitchers wind. Jun
Thorpe is still showing n world of
speed and apparently never tires.
Arthur Shafer was the star of the ball
held last night by the Commercial
Club. Jacobson, who was slated to
lead the grand march. was still laid
up with his bad leg and Josh Devore
took his place.

that was held recently. but practically all
the South Atlantic stars OF recent years,
who are anxious to get back in the

supporters Of the mat game and have
never failed to place them in the field
who show that they are we'll versed In

Former President Expresses Admiration for Hard Working
Men and Women Along the Middle Missouri No More
Welcome Guests Appeared 1t White House.

I owe more than can ever express
to the West, which. Of course. means
to the men and women I met In the
West. There were a few people of
bad type in my nsighborhood-that
would be true of every group Of men.
even In a theological semtnary-but /
could not speak with too great anec-
ton and respect of the great majority
of my friends, the hard-working men
and women who dwelt for a space Of
perhaps $50 miles along the Little Mis-
souri,. I was always as welcome at
their houses as they were at mine
Everybody worked. everybody was
willing to help everybody else, and yet
nobody asked any favors. The same
thing was true of the peopls~whom I
got to know fifty miles east and fifty
miles west of my own range, and OF
the men i met on the round-ups. They
soon accepted me as a friend and fell
low-worker who stood on an equal
footing with them, and / believe that
most of them have kept their feeling
for me ever since. No guests were
ever more welcome at the White
House than these old friends of the
cattle ranches and the cow camps-the
men with whom I had ridden the long
circle and eaten at the tail-board of
a chuck wagon-whenever they turned
up at Washington during my Presi-
dency. remember one of them who
appeared at Washington one day just
before lunch. 4 huge. powerful man,

American Aboriginal Architecture to Be PctuesqueB H.
lustrated by Means Of Models at Coming Panama Ex-
position Many Types to Be on View.

One Of the most interesting features
Of the coming Panama Fair is to be an
exhibit illustrating the evolution of
house building in America.
Aboriginal architecture in particular
will furnish the theme. For one should
realize that house building as an art had
attained a high development in the New
World many centuries before the land
ing of Columbus. Indeed, thousands of
years before Columbus was born, the
idea of the apartment house had founo
IN America a concrete expression far be-
yond anything known in the Old World:
and, within the geographical limits Of
what is now the United States there were
types of dwellings not surpassed in size
or architectural workmanship by any
thing in Europe.
Even at the present time We find in
this country certain types Of houses,
very ancient by origin. which are not
known anywhere else in the world. There
are, for example, the curious basket
dwellings of the Wichita Indians; the
huge beehive structures erected for
domiciliary purposes by the Moki ana
Zuni of the Southwest; and, by no means
least remarkable, the houses of the Alas
kan Eskimo, which are an adaptation OF
the idea Of the fireless cooker. for keep
ing people warm in the winter time.
Miniature models Of the various kinds
Of houses to be shown at the Panama
Exposition are being prepared under the
direction Of expert ethnologists. From
these reproductions will be made in full
size. and. If the thing can be managed,
people representing the tribes accus-
toned to inhabit the dwellings will be en-
gagged to occupy them. Thus the visitor
at the fair will be enabled to see, almost
at a glance, the manner Of living adopted
by primitive folks all the way from the
arctic circle to Patagonia. Even the lake
dwellers of Venezuela will be on view.
Lake-Dwellers of vene.uela.
It is a fact rather odd, by the way,
that the last-named people. as found to-
day in that part of America, exactly re-
eroduce the mode OF existence pursued
BY the prehistoric lake dwellers OF
Switzerland. who fiourished perhaps l00,-
w0 years ago. Their houses tof poles
lied together and thatched with grass
are erected on platforms supported on
piles far out In the shallow water OF
lagoons Leading an amphibious life, |
they spend q large part Of their time in |
dug-out canoes. deriving . subsistencel
from fishing chiefly.
The most remarkable development OF
