Peru And The Incas

Rev. George Smith gave an inter

Monday evening, the undeveloped
countries in South America and Peru
and the Incas in particular. He said
that South America consists of ten
countries and three distinct inhabi-
tants-the Spanish, the Portuguese and
the Indians. There are 300 distinct
tribes of Indians in South America.
Peru has 100 tribes.
There are so millions of people m

in American ways and give them van

Carneys Point Volunteer Fire Com
pany celebrated their third a~nniversa-
ry last Tuesday evening with a grand
banquet in the cafeteria rooms of
the YWCA building which is not now
in use. While thousands have left
Carneys Point it is a happy condition
that many of the old reliable standbys
and foremen who have done such
faithful and commendable work, not
only at powder making, but in their
social and volunteer efforts in the Fire
Company, continue to remain with US,
and were the leaders at the banquet.
The dining hall was prettily decorat-
ed with the National colors and an
orchestra furnished music for the oc-
casion. The sumptuous and substan-
tial dinner began about 9 o'clock and
it was after midnight when the ora
tory ended. 1t was the greatest affair
ever held in Carneys Point and was
enjoyed by two hundred, notwithstand-
ing the rainy night. The fremen in
vited friends, wives and lady friends,
who added to the splendor of the &C.
casion.

1t is not as though Richards had not
been advised and warned before this
Those who have his best interests at
heart, as we'll as the good name of the
game in this district, have pointed out
the error of his ways, but apparently
to no purpose. Perhaps it needed the
salutary effect of a default to bring
the realization that such tactics are
not TO be condoned.
Vincent Richards is not alone in
nents, embarrass tournament commit
tees and disappoint galleries. The
same thing has happened before in
previous seasons, and generally, I re-
gret to say, the offenders are those
who hold some title, or whose pres
encc on the courts "makes" the tour
nament. Because of this they seem
to rely upon their standing and the
dislike of the tournament committees
to call default against them.
Such tactics are culpable enough

only in the singles, but when he does
the same thing in the doubles, placing

Tex Rickard promoter of the $127,-
900 Willard Dempsey bout, announced
yesterday that he would have nothing
to do with the selection of a referee
for the bout unless the two principals
failed - agree. 1t is so nominated
in the ontract. If they are haggling
overtime Rickard is empowered by the
articles to name the third man. He
will not even consider the matter at
this time, in the event CT disagree
ment.
The matter of referee is of con-
siderable concern to both fighters. He
will be empowered to render decision
under the state laws of Ohio. The
chances are good that the bout will last
twelve rounds, consequently it will be
up to the third man to say whether
Willard loses or retains his title.
The unwritten law of the ring is
that a referee shall not decide against
champion unless he is knocked out.
He is not held to this rule, however.
The unwritten law got blow in Eng
land when Willie Ritchie lost his title
to Freddie Welsh on referees de-
cision
While Jack Kearns, speaking for
Dempsey, declares that he is so GER
tain that his man will win by knock
out that he does not care who the resS
cree may be, he may change his conver-
sation when it comes to the actual
selection. Willard, too, has asserted

Holds Rivals to One Hit,
for a Shut.Out

PHILADELPHIA, May S.-Spurred to
rash madness, not to mention reckless
abandon, by the ominoue quivering of
the trusty right leg of Lieutenant
Colonel Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Hus-
ton, who arrived on the noon train
from New York, those Yankees went
out and grabbed themselves ball game
from Connie Mack's schoolboys at
Shibe Park this afternoon. They won
as impressively as could be-a shut
out, forsooth. The score was to O..
A home run by Duffy Lewis provided
the two.
Robert Shawkey, who used to spo' :;
the colors of Connie Mack, but wl+S
luckily escaped about the time Cony 'e
scattered his pennant trust to the four
corners of the American League, sank
his iron deep into the soul of said Cor
nelius MacGillicuddy by pitching lust
about the classiest exhibition that this
young major league season has so far
witnessed. Shawkey shut the sup
posedly tough maulers of Mack down
with one stingy hit.
But for Bobby Roth tonight would
have found Bob Shawkey's mug in the
hall of fame with his eminent team
mate, George Mogridge, and others.
Roth ruined the chance for a no hit
game by singing with one out in the
fourth. Come to look st it now, it was
mean trick, as Roth died stealing a
moment later. Only two other Quakers
met Pipp all afternoon.
Kopp, the lead-otr man, walked in
tho first Thomas forced him, but
reached third on an infield out, fol-
lowing Shawkeys poor throw to catch
him mapping. That was as near as
Philadelphia came to scoring. Thomas,
first up in the seventh, was safe on
Pecks tumble, but never got past the
midway.
( Murderers' Row did little murder
yng, which would have gone for naught
save for Duffy Lewis, as Geary kept
the hits pretty we'll segregated. Be-
sides, the Yankees were just a bit
stupid on the bases.
There were two out in the sixth
when Pratt singled, getting an extra
base on Kopp's tumble. Here Lewis
unloaded the ball into the left field
bleachers, his second contribution tow
ard the upkeep of Murderers' Row.

Bradley down "cold." Bradley also went
down in the first round, and was stag

Rickard found that Jeffries and John

job himself. But he raises his good
