PILGRIMS" ALL YOUNG MEN
Though We Are in the Habit of Speak.
ing Of Them as Fathers" They
Were Youthful.

Among the contributions to the liter
ature of the tercentennial Of the land
ing Of the "PilgTim Fathers is q
paper by Sir Arthur e. Shipley, mas
ter Of Christs college, Cambridge, and
vice chancellor of the university. In
an editorial note introducing his article
In the New York Times it is stated
that he is well known as a zoologist,
but why that qualities him to write
learnedly about our Pilgrim ancestors,
who never heard Of Darwin or his
evolution theory, is unrevealed in the
note. We take 1T that the alleged
FATHERS" never claimed kinship with
the anthropoids and that they looked
much higher for information about
their origin than 10 noted zoologist.
But, be that as it may, Sir Arthur does
inject new thought, while not tell
ing us much else that is new about
those valiant and earnest souls who
embarked on the tiny Mayfiower-tiny
In our eyes now, but not so consid
cred by them-and buffeted the Allan
tic gales for two months in search of

OF religious freedom if not in climate
When we speak of them as fathers"

men with long boards, venerable SEN
Tors bringing to the new world the wis
dom of their ripe years and long ex-
perience in both the joy and the value
of treading the narrow path, but it is
an illusion. Sir Arthur says there
was only one of them over thirty-two
years of age. That one was Captain
Miles Standish, the valiant soldier, who
was only thirty-six. They were all
born about the year 1888. the time
when the wonderful Spanish armada
came to grief before the elements and
the ships of Sir Francis Drake, and
every last one of them was loyal
subject of King James and proud of
that fact. They were young, vigorous
enterpriSing Englishmen. genuine colo
nists, seeking religious freedom but not
political exile. 1t took men and women
Of such youthful vigor to endure the
""iu"po anu hangers lHcluenI 10 the
hrst few years of their colonial life.
Ever since that day it has been like
young MIN and women who have pio-
neered the way across the country
from the Atlantic to the Pacific taking
with them the same spirit of attach
ment to the home land while build
ing homes In the new. The fathers"
have remained at home, while the
sons have Jared forth, spreading the
Mayfiower spirit from ocean to ocean
and now across the seas to many lands
where 1t is growing and fruiting into

To XIII Wood eorers in Lunbe,


Kiln drying is fatal to some IL not
all the wood-boring grubs, the forest
service laboratory of the United

users Of ash. hickory. and many other
woods which are attacked by insects.
Manufacturers using ash lumber, foi
instance. are much annoyed by the
injury worked by the red-headed ash
borer. AIR seasoning has no effect

according to tests made by the labor
atory on wood infested with them, any
klln-drying process which can be con.
sidered practical for seasoning ash
OF any thickness will put an end to
the borers.

METAL MINERS WORKING
UNDER POOR CONDITIONS

State laws regulating working
conditions In metal mines are lax
and indefinite, especially In re-
gard to ventilation, said a state
ment by the bureau Of mines,
based on a survey Of metal
mines in Montana, Colorado,
Utah, Nevada, Arizona and 9TH
er states by Daniel Harrington,
a mining engineer of the bureau,
and by engineers and surgeons
Of the public health service.
"The better health Of coal min
ers as compared with metal
miners probably is due to the bet
ter ventilation of coal mines,"
the statement said.

HITTING ! THE SPORT TRAIL
With Geo. E. Firstbrook

ford featherweight, Louis Kid" Rap Ian, the hard-Working Silver City ba1- tier, is being acclaimed one Of the real top-notchers of Connecticut
 Kapla.l's ascent of the ladder of ,pugifstic fame has been in many ways one of exceptional progress But a little over a year ago he was an unheard-of preliminary fighter, minus about all the requisites of top notcher except the desire to fight and an ability to weather almost any storm Once started on the upward path, however, his rise was rapid and in short order he earned the title of Connecticut's most popular sena-i- nalist. Then came his fight with Joe Currie, when that veteran came with in an ace of hitting the canvas and as it was took bad beating. This started the fans talking. Next in or der, Kaplan squared things with Romeo Roach by deeisively out- chasing the Bay State youngster on g. Hartford card. Sailor Cunningham, another ring veteran, was next in line and took the count in less than two minutes Of fighting. Then came the Waltz battle In the first round Sammy was knocked fsprawling- and from then on, through every round of their 12-session engagement, he was unmercifully punished and only the final gong saved him.

WORLDS WOMAN TENNIS STAR EXPLAINS HOW TO PLAY A
 GRACEFUL, WINNING GAME

Paris, July 25-Mlle. Suzanne Len glen, worlds champion women's sin gleS tennis player, speaks Enghsh almost as we'll as she plays tennis
 She is a typical FTenchwoman, ta1l graceful, with a wonderful carriage, and a pleasant personality She ra- diates vitality. When asked to tell the women tennis players of Ameri- ca how she manages to keep so won derfulIy fit she volunteered readily.
 'FTo play tennis we'll" said Mile Lenglen, 'one must be in perfect physical condition It also follows that if you are not in perfect condition you cannot play.
 Skipping and running are good exercises. but they should not be kept on for too long a period Leave off just before you are getting short of breath.
 come supple I attribute what agility I possess to doing Lieutenant MuIIer's exercises. Never a day passes but what I take those exercises-some- times in the morning, sometimes in the evening, and sometimes both.
 There is no necessity to strain oneself; five to ten minutes will suf- flee to keep anyone supple and in good condition.
 If a girl came to me and asked me how to start tennis I should tell her to take Muller's exercises every day ard never forgot them. Then do some high skipping and high kick ing.
 Value of the Toes
 When on the courts keep on the toes all the time. It is surprising how many people keep to the flat of their feet or on their heels when play ing tennis
 Tt is fatal mistake, for one can never start quickly other than from the toes Those people who will not heed this advice will discover that they are always just too late for the ball.
 "After the pupil has mastered these highly important matters and has be- come much more supple than she was before she started she should learn to hold her racquet properly.
 There is only one way to do this. Grip the end of the handle firmly in the playing hand and keep the grip on when playing a stroke.
 Always cultivate the follow way as in driving at golf or at bill lizards ont work from the elbow, but use the whole of the arm when making a stroke. Then the back-hand and volleys will be learned more easily.
 And his is another point which is priceless. Keep your eyes on the ball. Anticipate where it is going to pitch, ard oe there to meet it. New CT let the ball out of your sight. Watch it every fraction of a second and keep on your toes ready to speed after it.
 | hints in mind she will have some thing material to go on The rest is | matter of practice and the devel- opment of the instinct of knowing where the ball is going to pitch. But above all things she should not forget her Muller exercises for they are aIl-important" (Note-The Muller exercises are 2 taught in America for physical &a- Ve1opment.)

Eastern League Fan Chatter

Albany came to life yesterday long enough to smother Springfield un- der a six run avalanche while Reiger passed out g. single hit and no runs to the invaders
 Waterbury won it's Sunday tilt with Hartford, also over shut-out route, but Shorty Long failed to help Wat erbury get the one and only tally of the game. It was the first time Shorty has failed to hit in S4 games. Schultz, Waterbury's pitching ace, again caf>< through with an excellent ehibition of twirling-
 New Haven lost yesterday, as was to be expected. Neal Ball played a dandy game. having seven chances without an error, and chall>ing up three hits while his mates kicked the ball around like Thorne Murphy used to do during football season Wood ward pitched and held the opposition to eight hits, but five runs were too many for the Indians. The Indians can get all set for an other beating Wednesday.
 During the afternoon at Weiss Park Neal Ball also helped himself 70 a sacrifice hit.

 As usual, following a lay down in

 poor old White Sox, minus so many Sox.
 The Tanks are again flirting with 1 first place, having taken another fall
 out of the Champion Indians. A sim 1 gle was the Babes only contribution. Mays pitched and Ping Bodie appear

 great Spoke also went hitless. Frank Baker is rapidly acquiring g
