BEAUTIES OF THE SOUTH

The world is just awakening to the fact that
South American women are beautiful and fascl-
mating and that the palm for charm and lowell
ness is fast being wrested from their North
American sisters. Perhaps the most beautiful OF
all these new beauties come from Argentina, the
land of surprises and wonders and they seem to
have found wha: Ponce de Leon sought further
north-the fountain of youth.
The Argentine women dress better look bet
ter and have finer manners than any other won
en- in the world They enchanting creatures.
and even now Europe is learning of their great
charm and beauty. They fond Of home life
and make ideal mothers, although they are not
domestic to a sordid degree. They are as fond
OF society the women of the United States
only they absolutely without the faintest
trace of snobbiShness, which is probably due to
their breeding They are wonderfully we'll in
formed and well bred women, and strangely
enough their social obligations are never such
as to interfere With their home life
They are pleasure-lovng people, fond of mu.
sic, drama and entertainment The latest styles
brought from Paris, which is RESPONSE
BILE for the introduction of the first artists O.
Europe, who ace frequently heard in Buenos
Ayres before they come to the United States
The people of Argentina make less of their thres
weeks sail to France than do of our one
weeks sail. They are very fond of Paris, and
adopt more customs and manners from the
French than from Americans English
The South American woman is becoming
great factor abroad She has attracted the at
tention of shopkeepers, for she is as rich as the
North American and even more lavish with her
money and grace, for she has no duty to pay on
her purchases and spends her millions with an
open hand. She loves rich and beautiful things,
and wears her clothes well with great deal of
dash and splendor. so that the great modises
and milliners have been turned away from the
North American beauty and her scrimping pur-
chases because Of her duties and pouring all
their amiability upon the bellies from Argentina
and Brazil and even Chile. For oh, they are
rich! And they growing richer with their
mines and vast herds of cattle and sheep and
their rubber and coffee plantations, their new
railroads and real estate deals, and all sorts OF
other enterprises that make for sudden and vast
wealth in new countries.
The rich South American woman makes Paris
her playground. One rarely finds her in London.
She does not like England the English but
Paris and the French people just suit her. as she,
like them, is of the Latin race with all the
warmth and gayety of such people

T was reported recently that the am

that Mount Athos was to be regard

known, but it is one of the most in

leagues. John T. Meyers, better known
to the fans as Chief, the formida a hla
backstop of the Giants, Is likely the
best known of them ali because he
happens to be with a team that Is al
ways followed with great interest. and
because also ability as a batter is one
of the assets of the team and a matter
of deep concern to opposing itchers.
Chief Bender of the Athletics. whose
pitching has helped to win two cham
pionships and as many world Champion
ships for Connie Mack, is a big figure.
and James Thorpe and George John
son have been added to the list this
year to add to the prestige of the In
dian in baseball.
Thorpe, who is the worlds best ath-
lete even If he has been stamped as a
professional" has not had chance to
give much of an account of himself in
baseball but George Johnson, who is
on the payroll of the Cincinnati Reds,
mas proven his prowess as a pitcher by
winning practically all of the games
that Tinker's team has amassed this
year, among them being one from the
Giants.
With the fans the Indians are always
popular. Although Meyers has been
with the Giants for several seasons
now and one would think that the fans
would become used to him, he Is al

Within 20 miles of Havana city I
stopped and entered an average Cuban
country home. 1t was constructed of
rough board sides and the roof was
thatched with palm leaves and grass.
There were two rooms and lean-to for a
kitchen. The dirt floors had not been
swept in a long time. The living roor,
was furnished with cracker box, a
crippled stool and a rough table The ad-
joining bedroom had two cheap hospita,
iron beds with woven wire filing The
husband and wife and four children
found sleeping accommodations somehow
on these two narrow beds. They evil
IDENTIFY slept on the bare wire, for all the
bedding in sight comprised two cheap
blankets and two bags stuffed with hay
for pillows.
The windows had no glass and were
covered by wooden shutters. The kitchen
had no chimney. In one corner was a
place for cooking, raised about three fent
and covered with clay. IT looked like a
small blacksmith forge less bellows ant

utensils comprised tfe outfit. From the

Story Which Refutes Claim
That Indian Athletes
Are Passing-FOur
Stars Remain
BY WALTER MARCHAND

AS the time goes by. the baseball sit
uation gets no cleaner, at least so far as
the National league is concerned. The
two clubs which should be leading are
back in the ruck and do not seem to be
able to get into their stride At times,
both New York and Pittsburg show
signs of getting into their winning
stride but UP to this time, these flashes
are sandwiched in between periods of
real second division ball 1t is one of
the mysteries of baseball which makes
for the charm of the game. There are
no signs of Stacking up on the part of
Philadelphia, though Brooklyn is begin
ming to falter
One thing Is demonstrated on pres
ent form. The West hasn't a look in at
the National league pennant this sea-
son.
In the American league, Cleveland
furnishes the surprise. Birmingham
mas built up a fast moving machine
which is at all times dangerous. Un-
less something happens to the Ath-
letics, there is little chance of the Nap
landers getting a pennant this season.
l should like to see Cleveland world
series contender If for no other rea-
son than Nap Lajoie has deserved the
honor of swinging his bat for the high
est baseball honors.
For good many years the French
man has been one OF the very brightest
most particular stars in the national
game. but has yet to play in a worlds
series. 1t does seem that he ought to
be able to round out his honors
The Detroit club is feeling the i'm
petus of Ty Cobb. The Georgian is
playing wonderful game and while
even he will not be able to lift the Jen-
nings bunch out of the second division,
a game.
Chance is plugging away trying to
make baseball team out of the Yam
KEGS. He is handicapped by the fact
that he has nothing to trade which will
bring to him the material he needs to
strengthen his machine. The loss of
any player he has who he could trade
would weaken him to at least the de-
gree the trade would strengthen him.
1t is rumored among visiting ball
posted,
that Manager McGraw of the Giants
has asked the National league clubs to
waive claim to the services of Otis
Crandall, his relief pitcher and pinch
hitter 1t is said that Crandall has not
been in the best physical condition this
spring and has failed to come up to
McGraw's standard of excellence. Fur
thermore it is reported that Crandall
is suffering from an injured foot. VIII
he To the minors nr win or
lean league club decide to give Crandall
another chance?
About the best rebuttal that can be
framed for the often referred to pass
ing of the red man" Is the quartet of
Indians now shining with considerable
brilliancy in the major leagues. The
Indian may be passing. but those men,
toned here are as far as can be dis
cerned, passing rapidly forward In the
national spastime.
There are probably no more promi-
nent figures in baseball today than the
Indians in the National and American
