UNDERTAKER HAD LAST SAY
Revised Version Of Old Story Leaves
Welshnan the Winner over Ad-
nnlttedly canny Scotsman.

Admittedly, this may be an old
story, but II has the distinction OF
possessing a new twist at the end:
A person died. He willed all his
earthly possessions to be divided
among an Engllshman, an Irishman
and Scotsman. But the will was
conditional; each of the legatees was
to place five pounds in the testator's
coffin. On the day appointed (by Fate)
the Englishman placed fiye-pound
note as wllled the Irishman collected
a number of coins omehOw-shilllngs
sixpences and cOppers--and made up
his contribution of five pounds, which
he placed on the Englishman's fiver.
The Scotsman then made out ychpck
for Is pounds and, pocketing the 10
pounds already deposited, threw in his
check, with the remark, THAT'S easi-
er."
A month later, when the Scotsman
perused his pass book he was surprised
TO find that his check had been rashed.
The undertaken was u Welshman.-

INDIANS USE OF. FEATHERS
Have an Intense Religious Significance
for All Tribes, Being Considered
ilq Tantamount to Prayer.


Feathers have an intense religious
Significance for IndiPns. and are val
ued for this far more than for their
value as ornaments. To q Hopi a
feather Is tantamount to a prayer,
and the use Of one or two feathers in
hts prayers is considered sufficient to
ensure a favorable reply.
When an Indian desires something
urgently he Will tie a feather to a
stick and conceal It In a shrine which
he himself has constructed. This Is
considered extremely efficacious.
Small, fluffy feathers dangling from
the ceilings OF huts by strings are
common sights. They represent pray
ers for trifles. Indians are always
careful to keep stock of prayers or
feathers on hand, so that they will
not be caught empty handed when an
occasion for prayer arises.
1t was a departure from this Gus
tom which accounts for the use OF
feathers in costumes. Squaws of tribes
whose habitat, was Virginia wore man
ties frlnged with feathers, and the
Colonial records also tell of coats made
Of blue feathers sewed so close and
thick that the coat looked like sntin.

She sails on May 16 with her heart intent on the accom- pIishment of two tennis history mak- ing feats-complete and convincing demonstration that she is superior to Mile Suzanne, Lenglen. the French tennis star and the winning of the title of the worlds best woman tennis player
 There is no method of acertaininS which of these two Objects-if a pre- ference must be made-that Mrs. Nal lory will select but those who know the record of her two previous fei- lures at Wimbledon and who noted her diSsappointment when Mile Beng- len became ill and abruptly ended their match last year at Forest Hills N Y. believe she will not be content without both.
 As Mile Lenslen has indicated her intention to again compete for worlds honorS at Wimbledon Mrs. Mallory may secure double satisfaction in one match.

HIT AND RUN GAME, { JACK FLYNN'S FORTE
By Tad

Admirers of the hit and run style of baseball will miss Jack Flynn of Springfield this season.
 Jack was a firm believer in this department of play and 8 skilled artist at 1t himself. He would take the long chance where oth- CT managers stopped to hesitate.
 His best season in this respect was when he was paired with Hank Schreiber in Waterbury in 1919. Flynn kept the Water bury team up in the race with these methods but there was 8 noticeable difference w h n Sohreiber was lost to the club through his sale to the Cincin- nati Reds. Jack simply couldn't find anyone to cooperate with him like the versatile Hank
 Hit and run combinations now are very rare. ''Red' Torphy is one of the most efficient players on the wheel at placing the ball and worked it quite successfully with "Joe'' CosgroVe for while last year. Neal Ball of New Ha- ven, and Walter Hammond of the HilIies can swat the pill in the pincheS but they are gone from the league leaving the field to Torphy and a few others.
