Namea In Samoa.

Travellers visiting Samoa are puzzled
at first by the fact that many boys
bear feminine names, while girls as
frequently have masculine names. The
visitor learns after awhile, however,
that this confusing use Of names in
stead of being due to ignorance is in
reality the result of native custom
which is highly poetic. Thus If girl
is born soon after the death of broth
er the latter's name Is given to her
in the belief that his spirit and all his
good qualities have been transferred
to her. On the other hand, If boy Is
born after the death of a sister he
takes the latter's name and, as the
Samoans believe. all her lovable traits
become his.-London Mail

Chum BOb'S Sporting Talk

New York, May 1S.-Two big
Ievents interest the sporting fraternity
today-racing begins at Jamaica, and
tonight is the time when that little
dispute between Mike Gibbons and
Ted Lewis will be decided at Madison
Square Garden. Jamica will have a
bifurcated meeting of six and eight
days, with eighteen days at Belmont
park sandwitched between. The sea-
son starts officially today, however,
with the running of the Excelsior
Handicap and continues until May "a.
John E. Madden, who has over
forty horses at the Jamaica track, has
reason to believe that another Sir
Martin will be found among his
youngsters this year. If this be true,
somebody is going to get a good
horse, as all his two-year-olds are for
sale at price. Sir Martin, it will
be recalled, failed through an acct
dent to earn the highest fame that
can come to a thoroughbred. In 1909.
when the late King Edwards Minoru
won the Derby in England, Sir Mar
tin got caught in a jam at Tattenham
Corners and fell men running smooth
ly and with the coveted classic to all
appearances, at his mercy.
Another face will be absent in the
clubhouse and paddock this season.
Pilly Dubois, who was a victim of
pneumonia several days ago, had a
host of friends, and like Sim Diemel,
who died in Cuba last winter, will be
missed. In the days before the law
against public bookmaking was placed
on the statute books, Billy Dubois
was one of the leaders among the
clubhouse commissioners. No wager
was too large for him to handle, and
his word was ever as good as his
bond.
