Blond Eskimos Are Latest
Type of Northern Natives
[From the Detroit News.l


"White Eskimos" or Blond Eski-
mos" is the popular name for a group
of Eskimos residing on both sides of
Coronation Gulf, between Canada and
Victoria Island, discovered by Ste
fansson in 1910. The popularity Civ
ing rise to this name is the frequent
occurrence of light hair and gray or
blue eyes in contrast to the universal
black hair and dark eyes of all New
World faces.
According to Steffansson's data,
the form of the head and face among
these blond-like Eskimos incline to-
ward the European type, on the
basis of which he proposed the the
DRY that the phenomenon was due to
early mixture with Morse colonists
from Greenland.

RAIL PROTEST CALLED

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Aug 24.-Com-
menting Oh conditions at Spencer,
where state troops were withdrawn
recently from guard duty about the
shops of the Southern railway to their
camp in the vicinity. Governor Nor
rison said upon his arrival from Char
lotte last night that "the protest
against the presence Of troops seems
to be an outrageous insult to organ
lied government but it will be best for
all hands to wait for the full facts
before making final judgment.
A total of 500 troops were sent to
Spencer and, Salisbury, three miles
from there last week and went into
camp. Later when placed on guard
about the shops, members of the broth
erhoods protested and refused to man
trains with the result that traffic was
deranged. After conferences with rail
way and military officials the troops
were withdrawn from guard, the
union members promising to use their
efforts in behalf of order.

YOUTH PAYS OWN
WAY FOR CHANCE
IN BIG LEAGUES

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 27.-It
was with regret that Manager Pat
Moran of the Cincinnati National
league baseball club which is in
training at Mineral Wells, Texas,
passed an adverse judgment upon
the ability of Frank Thornton to
win a place as pitcher for the
Reds.
Thornton work and although adj
miring him for his grit and his de-
termination to break in the big
league told the boy he was too light
just yet for fast company.
The case of Thornton supplies an
odd chapter to baseball annals. His
home is in Pittsburgh and he is of
a well-to-do family. He is regard
ed as one of the best semi-profes-
sional pitchers of that city Be
lieving that he was ripe enough to
travel with the big show he came
to Cincinnati on the day before the
Reds started for Texas. Thornton
suggested that he be given tryout
with the team. He said that he
would pay his fare to the training
camp and all of his expenses while
in Mineral Wells just for the chance
of exhibiting his pitching wares.
Moran said Thornton showed that
he was quick thinker and not
afraid of hard work. but in his opin-
ion there was apparent a pitching
weakness that would not pass mus
ter with the big league batsmen.

CHAMPION HAS
TO SEARCH OUT
OWN CONTESTS
No Opponents Here;
No Money, Jacks
VietD.
RY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus
New York, March H.-Jack
Kearns said today that the length
of time Jack dempsey would stay
abroad depended upon the state
of business. If his principal could
pick up a battle with some English
fighter for a fair sized purse and at
the same time prove enough OF a
drawing card to make his music
hall engagements in England worth
while, then the champion will re-
main on the other side quite some
time. 1t is a sad commentary OIL
the heavyweight championship sit
uation when a champion has to go
around the world looking for a
fight. Ordinarily the champions
are the ones who are pestered. In
Dempsey's case he seems to over
match all contenders to a degree 50
great that the public will not SER
iously consider match.
Yet the fact that Dempsey has TO
go abroad in order to earn his daily
pate de fois gras and hash, does
not by any means imply that the
boxing game is in a bad state in
luiS COuulIy. III ldCL never was u
SO f1ourishing and never have the
box Office gates clicked so merry a
song.
Take the Madison Square Garden
in the past three fights, receipts ')r
which are just announced. The
Gibbons contest carmel
$117,16S. The Johnny Dundee
Charley White bout drew down
$39.739 and the Burman-S Smith
fight bagged $35,4S2 The total
sum for the three fights of the
present month was $192,490. All
the fighters Jared very well and
the state got its bit in the way of
taxes and the promoters got their
bit. Everybody happy except the
champion of them all, who with
easy money growing all around is
not permitted to pick any of it, but
must go jazz-hiking around the
world looking for a match.
