Old Adage About

Sockalexis. the Indian who was ar
rested here as vagrant, has q cousin
who is regarded highly by the old men
of his tribe in Oldtown. Me. The
younger Sockalexis was on the OIym-
pic team that went to Sweden, and he
did very we'll in the Marathon run. He
Is lair all-around athlete. but ls best
at distance running. However he will
never achieve the fame of Andrew
SOCK. although when Andrews name
is mentioned in the tribe the old men
gay:
Huh. Andy sock7 he no good. Jim
Sock, he good"
Before he came to Richmond An
drew Sockalexis picked up q few pen

The Indian reservation. Usually when
he had sufficient he went TO the near
est point in prohibition Maine where
a combination of wood alcohol. sugar
and water IL sold under the name OF
splits" 1t Is a worse blend than
prune Juice, fusil oil and alcohol, and
other similar combinations called whis-
key. Andy must have been saving
his pennies for long time before dar-
ing to take the trip South.
And yet once upon a time Andrew
Sockalexis was regarded as one of the
greatest athletes of all time. In Holy
Cross college he was as speedy as the
best that Holy Cross has ever turned
out. and Holy Cross has turned out
some wonders. He was regarded, as
the greatest college player who ever
wore a. spiked shoe.
Tim Murhane saw him play, and
tipped him Off to the Worcester club.
Socks made a record with Worcester
and was signed for Cleveland bv Patsy

by hitting the ball q mile and running
the bases like mad man.
His fame flashed over the circuit In
lightning style. Amos Rusie said he
would sew up the demon Indian and
Socks responded by betting the best
Rusie could give him all over the lot
Every pitcher in the National league
was afraid of him, and on the paths
there was not a catcher who took
extra precautions with Socks on the
paths.
Prosperity proved too much for him.
He began to celebrate, He took 10
drinking whiskey, which was to him
the arewater curse OF his race. II was
not long before the National league
had shut him out. and In quick order
he fell from the ranks OF the minors
into oblivion. Once he tried to come
back. but the old eye and speed were
not there. Sockalexls, the pride or the
Maine indians became the tribal
tdrunkard and horrible example.
And the moral is;
You can't get the best OF whiskey.
