Thompson was surprised by the re-
quest for his name and address.
Some time later he was summoned
TO one Of the hospitals Of the city.
There he discovered that the one who
had asked for him was the beggar
whom he had Aefriended some time
before. The old man told him mat
he had sent for him to disclose to MIN
the resting place Of great treasure.
He said that he. Killrain, being the
only survivor Of the company and
about to die, did not wish the secret
to perish with him.
Thus It was that Thompson came
into the knowledge Of the story and
sailing directions to locate the island.
Being convinced that the story wal
founded on truth, he has spent eight
years IN search Of it-so far without
success.

SENSATIONAL RECORD
MADE BY JOE SEWELL
Cleveland Shorstop Displayed
Unusual Ability.
Clever Alabama YounQster In One
Short Season Jumped From Col
Ieae Team to Regular Position
in Worlds Series.

Entering professional baseball last
spring and finishing the season as
full-fedged member Of pennant
winning team and playing a regular
position in worlds series, is a rec
ord in baseball probably that never
will be equaled again. This record
was made by Joe Sewell, the Kid
shortstop who played in the big series
with Cleveland. Sewell halls from
Titus, Ala, and is only twenty-five
years old. He played football ana
baseball with the University Of Alaba-
ma teams and he jumped into profess
sional baseball as a member of the
New Orleans team of the Southern
league.
When Ray Chapman, regular short
stop on the Cleveland team, was
killed by a pitched ball, Harry Lunte
filed the job for few days and was
hurt. Manager iris Speaker sent for
Sewell as the last hope. The young
ster hardly was expected to fill the
berth permanently, but rather until
Speaker could cast about for a strong
er player. But Sewell made good from
the start. The national commission
held that Sewell was ineligible to COM
pete in the worlds series as he joined
the team after September I, Contrary
TO baseball rules, but Charles Ebbets,
owner Of the Brooklyn team. declined
to protest and granted permission for

MANY GERMANS QUIT BATHING

Of the Shortage in Supply

Berlin.-The hot bath has become
such luxury in Germany, owing to
the shortage qof coal and the manner
In which the government regulates

persons have ceased bathing. Others
have gathered courage for an icy
sponge daily. but this is not popular,
for the houses are generally cold. and

Fair Play Prevails.

New York.-More than 1000 ,lay-
grounds and recreational centers in
the United States are helping to keep
boys out of mischief, teaching girls
swimming and other athletics and
showing adults how to benefit them
selves physically and mentally by
play.
The effect they have in keeping
boys out of trouble with the police is
emphasized in reports which have
come to the Playground and Recrea-
ton association from all over the
country as one sof the most important
results of the establishment of play
grounds in cities. These facts are
given in the year book Of the associa-
ton just made public.
The chief of police of San Fran
cisco believes the establishment of
ne.ghborhood recreation centers is q

the community service to extend its
recreation work because he believed
that the wrong use of leisure time had

sells, from the palatial packet to the
weather-beaten tramp, leave the New
Orleans landing daily for up-river
points.
Voyages Were Pleasant.
A river voyage in the olden days
was a pleasurable affair if the boilers
did not blow up or the vessel hit one
of the shifting sandbars, mudlumps OF
hidden snags. A comfortable berth,
wonderful meals, dancing at night,
watermelon parties, well-stocked bars,
stud and draw poker games for the
patrons of that form of amusement,
and last but not least, the antics OF
the negro roustabouts, all combined to
make things pleasant for the traveller.
Saturday was usually the sailing day
for up-river packets from this port.
There was great rivalry between boat
owners and crews, and usually from
one to dozen boat races were pulled
OF as the vessels chugged up the
river. 1t was then that boilers blew
up with marked frequency.
The most famous Of these races was
run by the Natchez and the Robert
e. Lee, two of the largest of the river
packets. So keen was the rivalry that
early in the seventies it was planned
to have them race from New Or
leans to st. Louis. No passengers or
freight were carried and for weeks
the coming race was the chief topic OF
conversation along the river.
The Robert e. Lee was in command
Of Captain Cannon, while Captain
Leathers was master of the Natchez.
No stops were made except for fuel.
The trip to st. Louis was made In
lust q few hours over three days, an
unheard Of record then, with the Rob-
ert e. Lee the winner by a small
margin.
Promoters Are Curious.

human nature has changed from the
olden days, whether a person will be
content to idle the time away on Ions
