in twelve years, striving
by means within my pow
err to interest people in the great
historic study of archaeology.
Part of these articles were writ
ten on American archaeology, es-
pecially Of the prehistoric ruins
in Mexico, Yucatan and Western
South America, of Peru, Bolivia,
Ecuador One or two were on
island ruins in the Pacific Ocean,
and upon the Swastika symbols
in the prehistoric solar worship
cave on Catalina Island. And
Maya antiquities in Central
America were written up. These
were of interest, but they all fall
short of fascination and of liter
airy. and historic value in COM
parison with archaeology of the
Orient
At no time since the key to the
cuneiform writings on clay bricks
and in rock hewn inscriptions in
Babylon and Nineveh was discov-
cred: nor since the hieroglyphics
were read in Egypt, Nubia and
Meroe has there been a more in
tense interest manifested than at
the present. See Waning of
Light of Meroe." Scholars, anti
quarians, linguists, religionists,
artists, sculptors. literati, archi-
teCts and historians, even wealthy
men and governments, notably
the German; these and others are
absorbed in the exciting subter-
ranean explorations.

BARROW DENIES HE IS
OPPOSED TO A LIMIT

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Ed Barrow,
president of the International league, is
sued statement yesterday in which
he explained his stand on the matter Of
Glass AA salary limit. Barrow says he
has been misquoted, and that story has
been sent out all over the country say
ing he is opposed to a $4,000 salary limit,
prepared to fight against a fixed limit
The story that / am opposed to a &c.
600 monthly limit for the clubs of our
league is untrue" said Barrow yester-
day. II am in favor of that limit, and do
not know how the story originated that
was opposed to 1t. The story caused
me much annoyance, as l have had many
inquiries from baseball men asking If It
is true that l am opposing the $4,000

very foolish move. Just about the
time he began to round into some
sort of form he took unto himself a
wife. That is generally considered
rather bad form for any athlete.
And for this very reason Mr.. Ford
is more than likely to pluck him
self out of the diamond morgue the
coming season and get back into
his old time stride-one of the very
top-notchers.
There is no reason why Ford
should not shine for many years as
one of the very brightest stars of
the mound. He has youth, strength
and skill at his command. He is
the only pitcher living who can
break the "spitball" either to right
or to the left at will and call the
turn so that his catcher is waiting
for the proper slant. He has ter

brains. What more does any

Tech Highs shooting was not as good as
usual. The guarding by Bidel and the
forward work of Myers were the good
features of Tech Highs playing.

Harry Wolverton. 1t is quite true
that he did as well in a winning
was as his club, but very little bet
ter, which is quite shy the mark
for a fellow who the two previous
years had displayed such phenom-
email class. In 1912 Ford scored
only thirteen triumphs, as against
81 defeats. He was knocked out
of the box repeatedly, very seldom
went to the rescue of pal and
was hammered harder than any
other pitcher on the hill. Off Ford's
delivery ten home runs were rung
up. more than allowed by any other
tosser in the two major leagues.
Ford's work last season was dis
appointing to his most enthusiastic
admirer. He did not look anything
like the pitcher of the previous
two years. But there is not a club
in either league that would let this
fellow drift back to the minors
without further trial. He is still
regarded as one of the very best
hurlers in the country.
McGraw Calls Him a Wonder.
No less a parsonage than John j.
McGraw declared as late as last
fall that Ford was one of the most
wonderful performers he ever
watched. 1t was after an exhibit
ton game between the rivals play
ed as a sort of preparatory for the
Giants previous to the opening of
the big clash with the Red Sox.
McGraw started the game with his
full strength, but he soon damned
in substitutes for he realized that
Ford was too good to be beaten.
After the game he said:
"One of the greatest pitchers in
the business. l never saw more
stuff than this fellow showed US to-
day. Talk of speed! If Wood or
johnson has better fast ball than
this fellow l want to see it."
Now, as to Ford's work last sea-
son. In the first place, he was
overweight three quarters of the
season. 1t Is pretty well known
that he was not entirely satisfied.
Previously he had insisted upon
working every fifth day and work
ing regularly. 1t was this plan
that returned him such a brilliant
winner on his first time out. Ford
got a bad start in the spring, too.
Like the rest of Wolverton's men,
he found absolutely no benefit from
the training at Atlanta. His big
battery mate, Ed Sweeney, was
late in reporting. No other catcher
seems able to handle Ford as can
the boy from the Windy City. Ford
had become discouraged before
Sweeney putS in an appearance.
When he did get his old mate
standby the club had fallen into
the ruck and there was no incen-
tive to take liberties with the good
old whip The Kilties were out of
the race.
Mr.. Ford was guilty of another

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Remem-
Der the little nursery rhyme
What goes up must come
down."
There are many instances that
might be cited to show that this
time-worn adage applies to the ups
and downs of athletic existence as
well as to the laws of gravitation.
Also, that the faster anything
shoots up just so much the faster
must it fall before it finally hits
earth or water; in fact, as a base
ball illustration, we have to go no
farther from home than the Hilltop
to arrive at one of the best posi-
BILE illustrations for reversal of
baseball form.
The young gentleman in question
is Russell Ford, one of the most
marvellous tossers that ever broke
into the game as a first-year man,
and who may by his own efforts
give Chance a winner.
Briefly, we shall discuss Russell
He broke into fast company with
George Stallings' Yankees in 1910
the season the Kilties finished Sec
ond to the Athletics. That was the
year of the trouble between Stall
lings and Chase, in which the big
Chief lost out. That year Ford
won 26 victories and met defeat
ONLY six times He had the fine
average of .S13. But for the fact
that king" Cole, of the Cubs, had
an equally fine record, Russell
Ford would have proved himself
the greatest recruit that ever JIM
mied his way into fast company.
AS it was, his performance was
better than that of Cole, for his
team did not win nearly the same
percentage Of games, while Ford
worked far oftener than did Frank
Chances flashy twirler.
Ford's Star Begins to Wane.
At the close of 1910, despite the
fact that he was unable to cope
with the great Mathewson in a city
series between the rival major
league clubs. Ford was generally
accredited one of the most start
ling phenoms of all times. The
following year, however, he began
to show slight evidences of NOR
tality. In 1911 Ford had a fine
year-a wonderful year-and with
a team that finished sixth was still
able to win two-thirds of his
games. He finished the year with
% wins and but II defeats, for the
handsome average of 667.
Considering the fact that his
team failed to break even for the
schedule of 154 games this per-
Torrance was almost as creditable
though not quite-as that of
Fords inaugural.
But Ford's big tumble came last
year under the Inflated star of

but the Tiger coach is slow about reply
