pillars of the temple of the sun.
THE smaller temple. itself larger
than the Parthenon, was erected to
Baceh1s, a -joyial god, now discredited

The forty three-foot doorway is

the Roman sculptors fell silent before

McGraw has cleverly bolstered the

sets, with the loser within a single
point OF winning both sets. 1t was a

his favor.
AS examples OF this good fortune,
It may be said that when Throckmor-

lost as the result OF a lucky net cord
shot by Tilden, when then ran out
the next three games for the set.

Voshell won his match from Hardy

Scott Perry Will Be Given
Pitching Assignment by

PHILADELPHIA Pa, April IA
carried Miller Higgins, his Yankees,
and Babe Ruth's dozen or more highly
polished bats to this city for the OPEN
ing game of the American League
season to-day against the Athletics at
Shibe Park.
They needed a good nights sleep.
for to-day they will have to face
the great speed and elusive curves Of
one Scott Perry, Connie Mack's best
bet. According to reports, Perry
trained faithfully on the Southern
trip and is pitching his 1918 form.
Behind Perry will be a team OF young
sters-youngsters whom Connie Mack
hopes will win a sufficient number of
games to keep him out of last place.
On the eve OF a new pennant race,
Higgins Is confident OF his teams sue
cess. He is not predicting a pennant
for his players. Neither is he predict
ing the American League championship
for any other club in the Ban Johnson
organization. The little manager is well
ava Z that the coming baseball scrap
Is going to be a long and hard one, and
that II Will take mighty good club to
finish first.
Higgins also knows that his team
packs great punch. and that his STAN
of pitchers can hold its own with any
other stan in the American League.
All that he asks Is fair share OF luck.
With a little luck and no more Rcci-
dents. the midget leader thinks he can
bring the Yankees home in front.
