Because he disliked the man, Cap

CHAPTER XIII
Tortuga

1t was no part of the design of
Blood to join hands with the buc-
cancers who, under a semi-ofictal
French protection, made of Tortuga
a lair whence they could sally out to
drive their merciless piratical trade
chiefly at the expense of Spain.
1t was B1ood's original intention to
make his way to France OF Holland.
But in the long weeks of waiting for
a ship to convey him to or the
| other of these countries, his re-
sources dwindled and finally VAN
ished.
Temptations proceeded not only
| from adventurous buccaneertng ac-
quaintances in the taverns of that
evil haven of Tortuga, but even from
M. d'Ogeron, the governor OF the
island, who levied as his harbor dues
a percentage OF one-tenth OF all
spoils brought into the bay.
Moreover, to a man., those who
had escaped with Peter Blood from
the Barbados plantations, and who
knew not whether to turn. were all
resolved upon joining the great
Brotherhood of the Coast, as these
rovers called themselves. And they
united theirs to the other voices that
| were persuading Blood, demanding
that he should continue now in the
leadership which he had enjoyed
since they had left Barbados, and
swearing to follow him Loyalty
Whithersoever he should lead them.
The resolve being taken, he went
actively to work. Ogeron advanced
him money for the proper equip
ment Of his ship the Cinco Llagas,
| which he renamed the Arabella.
To the score Of followers he al
ready possessed, he added threescore
more. With them he entered into
the articles usual among the Breth-
rem of the Coast under which each
man was to be paid by a share in the
prizes captured.
Toward the end of December
when the hurricane season had
blown itself out, he put to sea and
before he returned in the following
May from a protracted and adven-
Peter Blood had run like ripples be-
fore the breeze across the face Of the
Caribbean Sea.
One day as Captain Blood sat with
Hagthorpe and Wolverstone over a
pipe and q bottle of rum in the
sitting reek of tar and stale tobacco
of a waterside tavern, he was accost-
ed by a splendid ruffian in a gold
laced coat OF dark blue satin with a
crimson sash, a. foot wide, about the
waist.
"C'est vous qu'on appeIle lie
Sang?" the fellow hailed him.
Captain Blood looked up to con-
slider the questioner before replying.
The man was tall and built on lines
Of agile strength, with a swarthy,
aquiline face that was brutally
handsome.
Captain Blood took the pipe-stem
from between his lips.

WORLD OF SPORTS
STOPS PLAY TODAY

In accordance with President Cool
idge's proclamation, the sporting
world will pay respect today to the
memory OF Mr.. Harding. There Will
be no professional base ball. no golf.
no tennis no racing. no boxing. Even
before the proclamation calling for
a national day Of mourning had been
issued, the highest officials in each
of these sports had decreed that the
day of the late Presidents funeral
should be fittingly observed by all
organizations and individuals under
their jurisdiction.
Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain
Lands. who controls the destinies OF
base bali, ordered that play be sus-
pended both on the day following
Mr.. Harding's death and on the day
of his funeral. President Dwight +.
Davis of the United states Lawn Ten
mis- Association sent a request to all
clubs which belong to that organi-
zation asking that players remain or
the courts today. The United States
Golf Association took similar action,
and golf courses all over the country
will be closed.
Likewise there will be no racing at
Saratoga Springs. the stake races
which were sheduled for today hav-
ing been postponed until saturday.
The New York State Athletic Commits
sion and other state boxing bodies
have notified all clubs to POSTPONE
bouts shedulcd for tonight, and this
has been done.
But organized sports do not con-
stitute the entire sporting world,
and there have been thousands of cam
cellations and poStponements by
small clubs and individuals which
are not affiliated with any larger
body.
These perhaps are the truest trib-
utes to the memory of the late Pres
fdent, for they came unsolicited
from individuals in obscure places
and positions who wanted to express
in some way their admiration and
regard for a man they felt they
knew and could understand. Their
action has reflected honor on the
sports they represent.

FIRP0 BACK FROM TRIP
IN FINE PHYSICAL TRIM

NEW YORK, August 10.-Luis An
gel Firpo. South American heavy
weight champion. returned to this city
last night from Indianapolis after a
three-week tour of the middle west
where he engaged in several exhibit
tions. Firpo will begin training at
once for his contest with Charlie
Weinert at Philadelphia next Monday
night. The South American said he
was in fine shape and needed only a
little work to put him into condition
for the Weinert bout.
Following his contest with Weinert
Ffrpo will return to indianapolis for
the bout with Joe Downey, which will
be the last fight he will engage in
before the heavyweight championship
contest with Dempsey. September IA
The bout with Downey was to have
taken place last Wednesday night in
India napolis but was postponed until
August II on request of Gov. McCray
The governors action followed pro-
tests against the bout being held un-
til after the burial of the late Pres
ident Harding.
Evening star., 1923-08-10

To this end there will be public
sale of three and Ave dollar seats start
ing at . o'clock on the night of the
bout. Special selling booths will be
built in the Madison Square Garden
and all policemen that can be secured
will be on hand to see that the lines are
properly formed and order maintained.
But one ticket will be sold to a person,
the idea being not only to give every
man a chance. but to keep tickets out
of the hands of the spectators.
Rickard is stewing a little about
Firpos bouts, particularly about the go
with Charley Wienert. who is a clever
guy and might conceivably keep out Of
Firpo's way until the end Of the bout
and at the same time pepper the Argen-
tine with his straight lefts. 1t is easy
to see that were this to happen interest
in the Dempsey -Firpo bout would be
affected. If Firpo, who is keen on the
money end of his profession, can be
made to see this he might pass up
Wienert until later The trouble is he
is so confident OF his prowess that he
is not likely to cercern himself about
the Newark Adonis.
All of which calls to mind how times
have changed. A little more than
year ago Wienert and F,irpo were to
box in Jersey and Luis at the last
moment decided he had better wait a
