BASEBALL CRAZE
A CIVILIZER FOR
WILD PANAMANS

Before Uncle Sam went TO
Panama to dig a little ditch II
would have been difficult TO
find an uglier and more vicious
bunch OF men than the rank
and file OF the "Panamaniacs.
The average "Panamaniac."
armed with knife or machete.
wasn't the sort OF chap you
would want TO meet on dark
street.
He found his PRINCIPAL.
amusement In cock fighting. his
passion for that sport" being
even greater than his love for
bull fighting. Yet at bottom
there was nothing wrong with
him--nothing that couldn't be
cured.
The change that has como
over Panama In recent years is
best illustrated by the manner
In which the people celebrate
their fete. The greatest OF
these holidays is the ami
versary of Panamas indie
pendence from Colombian rule.
Baseball is played during the
winter months In Panama. OF
all the civilizing influences
which Uncle Sam introduced
into Panama, baseball has n
place near the head OF the list.
And It was Sunday baseball,
ut that; for the canal workers,
who introduced Panama to
baseball. had no opportunity to
play other than on the first
day OF the week. Altho the
diamond pastime is now being
played by thousands OF native
men and boys as well az by the
North Americans, who operate
real league. Il Is still almost
exclusively n Sunday pastime.
The breeding OF game cocks
IN Panama has suffered a great
blow as n result OF the general
interest In baseball.

The Idea IN to change eligibility

rrsmmed for horses OF a certain
speed and the same owners are
winning all the time. Under tho
new plan. horses that have won a
certain amount OF money will be
barred from certain races
Under the new scheme. as soon
a . horse has won several big
pusses, he 10 compelled to drop out
OF certain races and the other fell
lows get q chance TO win some
thing.
FOR several years most OF the
grand circuit money has gone to
six men-Murphy. Coz. 0eers.

into effect. but can recommend II
