Frank Chance Comes to Town
With His Beant0Wn
SluggerS,

With two victories scored over the
Cincinnati Reds the Indians were TO
face the Boston Red SOx at Washing
ton Park this afternoon in the first
of a two-game exhibition series. The
taste Of National League blood was
still in the mouths Of the Tribesmen
today and they were anxious TO try
dish Of American League menu.
The Boston Americans are under
the leadership Of Frank Chance, the
celebrated former peerless leader Of
the Chicago Cubs. From the looks OF
things the big Californian faces a
mighty task If he is supposed to pull
the Red Sox out of the mire. A mum
Der Of well-known big leaguers are
included in his squad. but there is
lack Of outstanding stars.
Cavet and Seib Slated
Be that as it may, the Indians are
out to push over the bean-eating big
leaguers if they can and Cavet and
Seib were slated 10 do the chucking
In the series opener today.
The Tribe sent the Cincy Reds out
OF town with colors dimmed. Two
games were played with the Cincy
crew and two victories We're chaIked
up by the Hendricksmen. The score
Monday was TO 8.
The Monday fracas was played
under bitter weather conditions. but
II was an interesting contest never
theless and the Indians had to come
from behind to COP. A rally IN the
seventh good for two runs did the
work. Burwell and Fitzsimmons
pitched for the Indians and Roberts
and Rixey FOR Cincinnati.

light hit in the sixth frame all the
pins fell with the exception Of No,

righted itself while the crowd

Knox finished the game by strik-

The failure OF the No. pin to fall

FRANK CHANCE, who is in
L town today, is the first big
league manager to put the ban
on golf.
Chance announced that golf
would not be tolerated as a part
Of the training plans Of the Red
Sox. Neither will he permit his
players to indulge in It during the
playing season.
The Red Sox manager doesn't ar
que that the mere playing OF golf IS
Injurious to a big league ball club.
His reasons for putting the ban on
the game is due 70 the fact that he
believes the playing Of eighteen or
more holes in the morning takes much
out OF the player.
In this contention Chance is sure
TO be supported by many other big
league managers. Last year golf
played havoc with the chances OF the
New York Yankees. For a time 1t
threatened to destroy the discipline OF
the club.
Owner Smith OF the indianapolis
team has permitted his men TO play
golf during spring training, but has
o. it after the regular season
One year during the thick Of
pennant fight. Manager Mack Of the
Athletics suggested TO his players that
he believed the club would have a

cred Sort of Holiday and CeIe-
brated Accordingly.

One day I heard so much talk Of
execution" that I decided to stop
work long enough to see it. The ST.
amese made sort Of holiday Of it.
This was to be three days festival.
Thirty-six men in all were to be put to
death, twelve day. SQuatting in an
open pavilion, with all their relatives
and friends squatting about them, they
were given their last meal. All sorts
of food and delicacies were brought,
and every one concerned had grand
feed. AT the appointed hour the pro-
cession formed to walk through the
town from the pavilion to the execu-
away and near the palace.
Twelve banana leaves were laid in
a line, equal distances apart, across the
center of a clear space, which was
three or four hundred feet each way.
The twelve prisoners sat cross-legged
a stake with crosspiece to which
their elbows were tied. They were
handcuffed. but their hands had some
play. Back of the stake and cross
piece was higher stake still. The
use this was to be put to found out
later. The prisoners were given Gig
arettes and every one Of them began
to puff hard. When they were all
well tied the sheriff came up to each
in turn and, STOPPING, picked up hand
fuls of mud from the ground. He
plastered it first in one ear and then
in the other. He did this, was told,
so they would not hear the execu-
toner when he came up behind them.
Then he pushed their heads over and

put small spot of mud on the backs
of their necks. All the time, even
with their heads bowed, they kept on
smoking.
When all twelve men were mud
plastered and bent over, a signal was
given and out came the executioners,
twelve Of them, dancing and brandish-
ing long straight swords above their
heads. They were dressed in bright
red, their sarongs caught up to look
like trousers and their faces painted
in stripes and blobs of red and yell
low. They took their places, one be-
hind each prisoner. The crowd was
gesticulating and laying bets as to
which eXecutioner would do the neat
est job. Another signal was given.
The swords made fancy swirl in
the air and all descended at once.
They halved the blobs Of mud, cut al
most through the necks but did not
quite sever the heads from the bodies.
This was left for a second set of execu-
TONERS, who finished the job and set
the heads on the sharp high stakes be-
hind. The audience was quite still
while the blows were being struck.
When the heads were set up some of
the women screamed and ran away.
I looked at the head nearest me; a
faint line of cigarette smoke was curl
ing out Of the nose. had had enough.
