After Pirate Lafitte's Chest of Gold.

After Pirate Lafitte's Chest Of Gold.
Two energetic young men have es-
tabished a camp on the lower part OF
Pa,lre island in the Gulf Of Mexico
on the Texas shores, in an effort to
locate the gold-laden chests of the
Pirate LATTE who, according to the
legends Of the country, freque.ted
those parts and it is supposed that
some of the wealth which he accumu-
lated must be buried in the sands of
that shore. The men say they are there
to stay and they have brought some
machinery with which the work will
be facilitated. 1t is said that they
have uncovered some interesting mate
rial which leads them to believe that
they are on the right track.

Great Exhibition Of Rage.

NEW YORK. May 26.-Back from the
baseball E,lba only six days, Babe Ruth
the home run king, faces another period
of exile today. Lashed into Berserker
rage, first by close decision and later by
the taunts of the fans who used to cheer
him. Ruth threw handful of dirt into
the face of Umpire Hildebrand and then
dashed into the grandstand to assal a
spectator whom he had singled out from
his tormentors. The spectator escaped.
Ruth automatically was banished from
the game This is the first time a player
in the big leagues has invaded the stands
since Ty Cobb leaped into the stands at
Philadelphia 10 years ago and struck
fan who had been abusing him.
After Ruth had chased his tormentor
out of the grand stand he faced the
crowd standing on the roof of the Yankee
dugout and growled incoherently at some
of the spectators who were still bOoing
him. He stamped his feet and raised his
long arms aloft.
The explosion of the Ruthian tempera-
ment came in the third inning of the
game between the Yankees and the Wash
ingtOn American team. Ruth had hit
single to center and was caught out try
ing to make it a two-bagger on close
decision. As Umpire EIildebrand called
him ont Ruth rose and scoopiuE up a
handful of dirt hurled it at the umpire.
Hildebrand motioned him out of the
game.
