Spanish Games.
Other Sports Besides Bull Fighting
Engage Iberian Interest.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Your
appreciative editorial article encourag-
ing the prospect of Spain's entry In the
next American tennis tournament tor
the Davis cup is timely and informative
for a great majority of American news
paper readers who associate spanish
sport with bull fighting alone.
The Spanish excel in that form or
agility which makes them wary taunt-
ers and dodgers Of infuriated bulls In
the ring.
In the game of jai alai agility afoot
is combined with developed stamina ana
a form of batting power. This game is
played in a cement paved court ike
long. narrow, three story brick building
stripped of roof and one OF It's long
sides. The grand stand rises abruptly
from the one open side, with that steep
pitch which Is also characteristic of the
rows of seats about the bull ring.
Four men play the game. which is "a
sort of enlarged and faster form OF
handball. Each player has strapped to
his right forearm a long horn spoon In
which he scoops the ball. lacrosse fash
ion. before running a few steps with 1t
and then hurling 1t with almost incred-
ible speed from the end of the spoon.
using his left hand as an extra grip
upon his right forearm. The play Is
directed upon the front wall and above
a thigh high strip of steel like wagon
tire. and all three walls form the angles
for the rebound from which the play
ers receive the ball for renewed
course.
SO intense Is the battering Of the
hard ball upon that frontal wall that
ordinary brick will not serve as proper
surface. fecking and chipping away
under the impact. Hard stone or cement
must be used for the frontal wall.
The low flight of the ball from the
back court offers not few close calls
for the back of the head of the front
court player Meanwhile the spectators
sit In seeming partial somnolence and
produce hundreds OF tiny plumes of
cigarette smoke, indicating that tho
grand stand Is not entirely cold to the
intensely exciting sport. Spaniards
skilled in that game may we'll be con-
sidered as potential rivals In interna-
tional tennis. Their pace Is amazing
and the speed of the ball at times al
most bewildering. ARCHIE RICE.

Prince Paradox Arrives.

The only man in the world who can
prove that black is white is In Amer
lea for a visit. We are confident that
G. X. CHEsTERToN will illuminate this
country; we can only hope that we
shall interest him.
If he wishes to, G. X. G.. will show
us that it Is not the burglars who are
robbing the householders, but the
other way round. the honest people
villainously depriving the house
breaker of sleep, conscience and the
habit of work, all of which are i'm
mensely more valuable than money.
Mr.. CHEsTERToN could prove, with
that devilish logic of his, that girls
have ears; although it is notorious
that girls ears have not been visible
in a year or two.
He could demonstrate that the Vol
stead act instead of being an enemy
Of the drinking classes Is really their
friend, it having shown them, through
the theoretical scarcity Of liquor, that
drink Is luxury and not a common
place thing
Before Mr.. CHEsTERToN fires his
final paradox everybody will believe
that the East River bridges have ex-
listed since the glacial period and
that modern man built the river be-
meath them.
If the politicians catch on to CHEs-
TERToN they will hold him here and
send him to Congress. He could al
most prove that economy consists In
spending money foolishly.

Do Justice to the Veterans.

The American Legion's memorial to
President WILSON and President-elect
HARDING, which was made public yes
terday and in which is set forth the
breakdown of the machinery provided
by Congress for the protection and re-
Mobilization Of wounded and sick sol
diers, sailors, marines and nurses who
served in the war, constitutes an in
dictment of that quality in which
Americans take pride-efflciency
The heads and the hearts Of the
people and their representatives In
Congress have been all right from the
beginning. All Of us saw what should
be done, and none of us objected to
the cost of doing 1t properly. There
has been no opposition In or out of
Congress to adequate appropriations
to support schools and hospitals, to
pay compensation allotments. The
taxpayers, loverburdened though they
were, have not said a word against
digging deep into their pockets to re-
pay, so far as money could repay, the
men and women who suffered in the
army and navy.
Instead of putting the job up to a
single organization with one man of
brains and energy at its head. the
task has been given to three bureaus,
the Public Health Service, the Bu-
reau of War Risk Insurance and the
Board for Vocational Education. The
result has been confusion, red tape,
stagnation.
There have been cases in which suf-
fering men have been worn out in
the pursuit of what the United States
promised them and finally have given
up in despair.
There have been cases In which suf-
fering and death itself have resulted
from postponements, misunderstand-
ings and bureaucratic incompetence,
carelessness or worse.
Thus to our humiliation the Amer
lean Legion is obliged to record the
fact that shameful neglect and in
justice" mark the administration of
the work intended to afford relief to
incapacitated veterans.
1t is no common complaint which
the Legion utters. It acknowledges
that "the United States has been
more liberal than any other nation IN
its provision for the disabled who
gave their health and strength In
their country's service" It asks for
no new appropriation. 1t does not
want the nation to adopt a new
policy.
All that the disabled men and
women want-and it is exactly what
every citizen wants-is that there
shall be reorganization of the re-
Mobilization work so that the dollars
shall go without delay to those who
are entitled to them; that the schools
shall open promptly to those who
are anxious to attend them; and that
the medical and surgical care required
by some shall be given early and kept
up as long as the slightest necessity
for 1t continues.
More than this the nation cannot
do. To do less than this betrays the
public and foils the intention Of the
people to deal justly with those who
wore our uniform In war.

No ku Klux Klan Reign.

Whatever the purpose of the Ku
Klux Klan, which is said to he direct
ing Il nationwide drive to spread its
influence and set up its power, it
travels the wrong road. Such thing
is not and cannot become reconcilable
with the principles ana practices of
American institutions,
No matter what the character of
the individuals behind this new move
ment of an old order, the very Ameri-
canism which they seek to exalt by
their own rules and methods will not
suffer their assumption of rights and
functions which belong singularly to
government regularly constituted, law
fully represented and duly exercised.
At the very inception of their adj
venture, for in the country at large
it never can become anything more
solid than a footleSS adventure, it is
proper and it is necessary to advise
the Ku KluX promoters and dreamers
of the impossible barriers in their
path. In this town for example, there
stands between them and their object
the municipal government of the peo-
pie of this city, backed by public
opinion and public might. In all New
York 1t is the government of the peo-
pie of this State and in the whole
nation the Federal Government of the
people of the United States, similarly
backed and buttressed. And beyond
the authority and power Of those gov
ernments, each supreme in its own
field. shall no one pass.

fantasy and a piece by Kosloff entitled
'Tdylle F'innoise." The player again in

Cap Hatfield Gets Religion.

The Hatfield family always had a
dramatic way with them. That is
why, long after active hostilities with
the Mccoy tribe had been suspended,
we have the spectacle of Cap HAT
FIELD rising ut his fathers burial TO
say he is ready to make his peace
with GoD, that he is done with fight
ing. and that if any man seeks his life
blood he will not resist.
If Cap HATFIELD feels that way
there is reason to think that the Hat
field urge for tragedy is stopped. They
called old ANDERSON HATFIELD Devil
ANsE," but ANDERSON. Jr., alias Cap,
might have been called Beelzebub.
1t is true that the Hatfields have
not always observed open covenants
openly arrived at over open graves.
Some nine years ago two of Devil
ANsE's sons picked on a stranger who
did not know the Hatfields' tradi
tional immunity from bullets. He was
lately from Italy, hot of blood and
good marksman. He killed ELIAS and
Troy HATFIELD before he succumbed
to their shots. At the double funeral
ANsE and eleven sons were present.
Bareheaded and weeping all these
martial Hatfields, with arms uplifted,
pledged themselves to- live Christian
and peaceful lives" That was on
October 23. 1911. and on January /,
1912, one of the eleven, WILLIS HAT
FIELD, killed a doctor who would not
give him prescription for pint Of
whiskey. This was neither Christian
nor peaceful.
Yet ID would not be fair to judge
the processing eleven by the wicked
ness of one or two. Cap HATFIELD
is no longer young. Presumably he
intends 60 he baptized in the swim
ming hole as his father was in the
days Of ANsEs repentance. while
yet the light holds out to burn" and
Cap HATFIELD was the vilest sinner
of the feudal family. Probably to
himself and his kinsmen he had the
glamour of mountain chivalry, but the
outer world knew him for what he
was. He killed the helpless as well
as the armed in his hate of the McCoys
and his utter disregard for lava law
to which the clan appealed only when
its machinery might dispose Of a par
ticularly tough Mccoy.
