RACE MEET PLANNED
FOR DUVAL COUNTY
viii Be Held From April to April 9,
at Famous Track at State Fair
Grounds.

Jacksonville will have a race meet
from April 1 to April 8, at its famous
race track at the State Fair grounds.
The races will be conducted in a
sportsmanliSe manner, the purses be-
ing obtained from the gate receipts
Owing to Jacksonville's fortunate
situation, being right on the line OF
travel between Havana and the north,
Messrs. w. r. Carter and B. X Han
afourde were able to secure the cream
of the horses that raced in Havana.
Jacksonville is the logical stopping
place to break up the long railroad
ride from Havana to points in the
northern states and in Canada, and
the owners of these horses are very
glad indeed TO have the opportunity of
breaking UP their journey. About $50
choice horses were secured; that being
all that the Jacksonville driving stables
viii accommodate. There will be five
races daily at the Driving club track,
when lovers OF horses will be able to
see some of the finest in the country.
Stringent steps have been taken by
the Jacksonville Driving club officials
to see that no booLmakers or profess
sional gamblers will be allowed TO op-
crate, and the racing will be conduct
ed on the same high plane that was
seen here during the Florida State fair

RESCUE OF CRUS0E
WILDLY PICTURED
Two Natives of Original Island Push
Off on Raft and Are Picked
Up BY Vessel.

VALPARAISO, Chile, March 1S.-
The rescue from an island in the South
Pacific of Alexander Selkirk, the Bril-
fish mariner, around which Daniel De
foe is said to have woven the tale OF
Robinson Crusoe, was wildly pictured
to several hundred tourists, including
prominenet British and American res
idents of Valparaiso, on their arrival
recently at Juan Fernandez--the orig
inal Crusoe island-250 miles off the
Chilean coast.
Two natives OF Juan Fernandez, one
representing Crusoe and the other his
man, Friday, clothed in the traditional
goat skins and wearing long boards,
pushed off from shore on a raft after
they had sighted the rescue" ship. A
parrot and q goat were their only other
passengers and, as IN Defoe's story, the
raft was laden with fish, fruits and
other island products.
Boarding the vessel, the "nlarooned"
pair were received with all honors by
the captain, to whom "Crusoe" pre-
scented his offerings. The passengers
then took up collection for poor chill
dren on the island.
The tourists spent three days at
Juan Fernandez island group visit
ing the wild country OF high mountain
peaks and luxuriant vegetation. They
saw the monument erected by British
seamen to the memory OF SellIirk, the
original Robinson Crusoe, and visited
the lookout from which he Is said TO
have sighted. nearly two centuries ago,
the vessel that finally rescued him at"
ter four long years OF solitude.

SIBERIAN OIL MAN
RUINED BY SOVIET
Hadii Taaiev, Aged 1of, Believes That
First Hundred Years Are
the Hardest.

BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 1S.-At
the age of 101 years, Hadji Tagiev,
Bakus former oil king, who was ruined
by soviet naturalization of his prop
erty, has started to rebuild his for
tunes where he began-as a stone ma
son.
Hadji Tagiev is an optimist. "a
man isn't old so long as he can work, -
he declared and. like a true Mussul-
man, he continues to dye his white
beard brown.
He is using his spare moments in
learning to write. For more than so
years he had signed his name to bust
ness papers by making his mark with
a blunt stick dipped in ink.
"One must keep up with the times"
he explained to curious friends when
the centennarian began to take lessons.
Tagiev is known to Americans
through his reception in his Baku pal
ace two and a half years ago of the
General James H. Hartford mission.
He was and is known throughout Rus
STA and the middle east as an example
of a poor man who became immensely
wealthy, first as a house builder and
then, so years ago, through the pur-
chase Of a piece of oil land that yielded
abundantly. This was in the days when
oil was gathered close to the surface
and taken from wells in buckets.
When the Azerbaijan republic was
sovietized by Moscow his palace was
converted into a children's orphanage
and it's treasures of art and tapestry
scattered. While trying to take some
of his silver plate and paintings to the
country in OK carts apparently laden
with straw, q red sentinel at the out
skirts of the city discovered and seized
the escaping wealth. Tagaiev was be-
loved by the workmen of Baku and
was not harmed in person.
He is now living in the village of
Mazda Khani, near here,

COLONEL CAGESTERS
WILL PLAY CASEYS
Basket Ball Game Between Kentucky
Players and Local Boys Is
Scheduled for Thursday.

All arrangements have been made
for basket ball game between a
picked team from the Louisville Col
onels and picked team from the
Knights of Columbus basket ball
league, to take place on the Armory
court Tuesday night at o'clock. This
event will come as a rare treat to the
lovers of this particular sport in Pen
sacola, for there are several fellows
on the Colonel roster that have par
ticipated in both championship and
professional basket ball contests.
When the Kentuckians struck camp
here last Monday, a Journal reporter
learned that there were basket ball
players of more than ordinary note on
the team. In fact, several of the boys
asked that a challenge be issued
through The Journal, as they were
anxious to arrange a game with one
of the teams of the city.
Mccarthy to Play.
At first there was some question as
to what would be Manager Mccarthy
ruling on the proposed match. It was
thought that he might not sanction it,
but he more than gave his consent for
his proteges to enter the game-he is
going to play himself. This is one of
the reasons for the happy spirit that
at all times prevails in the Colonel
camp. Mac" is one of the boys. OF
course he does not stand for his men
to indulge in those diversions that
get them all out of condition, but when
it comes to a question of clean ath-
letics he is strong for it.
Although the Colonels boast Of the
best basket ball team of any organized
baseball team, they can expect no
walk-over when they go up against
the Casey five. On the contrary the
X. of c. has in its membership some
Of the best athletes in Pensacola, and
the individual players each have an
enviable reputation as basket ball eX-
perts.
Then another thing that will en-
nance the Caseys' chance for demon
strating their basket ball ability is
that the Colonels have not been play
ing recently, while the local boys have
been either practicing or playing al
most every night. Not by any means
will they be smothered.
me S-OPs
Manager Mccarthy announced last
night that he would have the center
position we'll manned in the person Of
Richard Deighan, more oftener called
Dick" who is making a strong bid
for second string catcher with the
Colonies. His brother, Neil, and
"Schanty" Gaffney will occupy the
guard positions. Bruno Bethel is
wanting to play, but Mccarthy is a
bit leary of letting him go into the
contest on account of his slightly weak
ankle which is at present mending
rapidly. For this reason it is likely
that Bruno's motion to enter the game
will be overruled. The forwards will
be chosen from King, Long, Schepner
and Mccarthy himself.
The Casey five will be picked from
Forsythe, Johnson, Ellis, Oliver, San
chez, Meyer and Sara.
Local fans can prepare themselves
for this contest. for it is certainly to
be worth while.
