BIG CHIEF FORMER
STAGE FAVORITE
Cmatilla Chieftian Formerly Per-
formed on the Vaudeville
Circuit

Since Billy Joshua became chief
of the Umatilla Indians, it is impos-
sible to get from him any informa-
ton concerning his previous life as
an actor on the Keith vaudeville
circuit. Through Chief Yallup, lin
terpreter for the Yakima Indians,
who has been in Olympia for the
past several days attending the ses-
sions Of the legislature in behalf
of privileges to fish a their ancient
fishing grounds at PrOsser Falls, in
Eastern Washington, the interesting
story of Chief Joshua was told
The chief, who is handsome In
dian, dressed in full regalia with
feathers and fancy beaded garments,
sat wrapped in a blanket grumbling
to himself while Chief Yallup told
his story.
Several years ago Chief Joshua
with an Oklahoma Indian, were pro-
cured by vaudeville managers to do
song act on the Keith vaudeville.
Both Indians had marvellous voices
and delighted many thosuand peo-
PIE WIFI tuclT lHuldH SOu6S, WHICH
they sang dressed in costume. For
three years these two Indians trav-
elled throughout the United States,
gaining popularity. Then Chief
Joshua received word that his
brother. chief of the Umatilla In
dians, had passed away and, &C
cording to tradition. he was the
next chief. So he discontinued his
tour and left for Pendleton, Oregon,
where he was made chief afer a
weeks pow-wow.
"Chief Joshua wouldn't sing to-
day for any amount Of money" said
Chief Yallup. ia would be below
his dignity to even speak of his ca
reer on the stage" He must forget
that he was ever an actor and must
serve his people as chief until he
is called to the Great Beyond.
When the Great Beyond was men,
toned, Chief Joshua grumbled some
more and, re-wrapping his blanket
about him, proceeded to doze.
The chief is visiting his Red
brothers, the Yakima Indians, and
was asked to come with them to
Olympia to plead for them for the
privilege to fish at their old fishing
grounds.

when an express wagon drove up 70
the Indian motorcycle shop on ".

the racing sport think contain the
new Indian motors designed 70 stop
the sensational Haley Davidson
rider.
Marks already holds one win over
Jones. who has been burning things
up" in previous races here this sea-
son, and is out 70 repeat when the
pair clash next Sunday at Spring
brook park. Last Sunday at Mans
field, o., the Indian representative
won two firsts from a classy field,
while Jones won the third race.
Marks was forced 10 travel at ter
rife pace TO beat the star Harley
rider, however, breaking the track
record there. Incidentally the mark
established in the Mansfield event
is a fifth OF a second faster than the
record made by Jones recently at
the local track. Marks arrived in
the city Thursday and is confident Of
lowering his rivals colozs again Sun
day.
Walker Set to Win.
The two Of them will have plenty
OF competition, however. In fact.
Gene Walker is likely TO be picked to
win by many enthusiasts. This Is
presaged by Walkers remarkable
record last year when he won the
national dir: road cham piOnship. and
was considered the leading rider OF
the year. He has been showing old
time form in races in the far west
this year. and is sure to be in the
money here Walker is due to arrive
sometim today.
In addition to the big classics with
these national stars entered, the pro-
fessional side-car race is expected to
prove a thriller. Donald Pope OF IN
Bryce. middlewest flexible" champ
at Mansfield last Sunday. is the pop
ular favorite in this event. The
HoOsier lad won a tremendous FOL
lowing at the Ohio races. for he took
part in no less than seven events and
made his presence felt by grabbing a
slice Of the money in each. Pope ar
rived in the city Thursday.
In addition TO the men already
mentioned such riders as Eddie
Brinck. Minnie Grell and Paul Sch
larowski will be entered and the
races should be the most thrilling
and hotly contested ever held at the
local track.

They all use the speed splitter.
Faber Is Ace.
So far this year Faber outranks

What makes Faber's victory rec

fact that he is backed up by team

HARVARD AND YALE
IN ANNUAL REGATTA
Crimson and Bulldog Crews
Meet to Decide Rowing
Supremacy.
BY Associated Press :

NEW LONDON, Conn, June o.
Oarsmen of Harvard and Yale to-
might await the 53rd annual race be-
tween the varsity crews. It will be
held on the Thames river four-milo
course Friday afternoon. While the
athletes who will man the shells
rest in their camps at Red Top and
Gales Ferry, a few miles from here,
this little Connecticut city welcomes
the influx Of the regatta crowd
which it has come TO know and to
prepare annually for with increased
menu and hotel prices. while with
banners Of the rival Crimson and
Blue and street vendors who seek

dergraduate as much loose currency
as possible.
The regatta girl" chaperoned by
cautious parents who have made the
trip by motor or by private yacht,
lends a feminine touch, rivalled only
at the Harvard Yale football game.
Friday she will provide the out
landing feature Of the colorful crowd
which will fill the slow-moving OBJ
.servation trains as they crawl along
the river shore keeping pace with
the straining crews. The fact that
both varsity Fights in the big race
have been defeated more than once
this spring dampens in no way the
enthusiasm OF the crowd which
recognizes only that Harvard and
Yale are the rivals.
Great Throng to Attend.
Added to the usual throng that
will witness the regatta is a portion
Of the crowd that attended the in
