two down and scored on Aliens

The heavy rain Of Monday night
and this morning had several of the
outside courts under water and the
turf is so soft they may not be in
shape to play Wednesday.
Officials Disappointed
Because Of the unusually large
number Of entrants and the interest
in the tournament, officials had
hoped for a week without a bad
weather postponement as the sport
calendar next week is choked with
other events.
Many matches had TO be called off
Monday when a rain storm came.
The first round matches with one
exception followed the dope and they
were hardly more than formalities.
The one great surprise came how
ever, when Richard Norris Williams,
captain Of the American Olympic
tennis team and the third ranking
player Of the United States, was de-
Sated by George Lott, Jr., an IS
Year-Old Chicago boy who recently
won the Junior national champion
ship.
Develops Rapidly
Lott was unknown until late last
season, but he has developed amaz-
ingly this year.
Robert Kinsey, one of the Cali
fornia brothers, who has been con-
sidered with his brother for the
doubles assignment on the Davis
cup team. was another ranking play
er who went down. He was defeat
ed by Watson Washburn. one of the
best American internationalists.
Norman Brookes. the 4S-year-old
Australian and Manuel Llano, the
Mexican star, were the only foreign
players to be eliminated. Brooke
was beaten after a hard fight by
Hugh Kelleher, the young New York
er. Llano fell before Vincent Rich
ards.

after? The Tagbanuas, who live in
the middle of the Island of Palawan
and number about 10000, believe that
they are always under close obser-
vation. Their hell is A cave that leads
down under earth, and their god is
a giant. who tends a fire there, which
burns forever between two mighty
tree trunks. AS every new soul ap-
pears he demands whether it's life
has been good or bad, and the answer
comes not from the man himself, bu;
from a louise on his body. Every one
is supposed to have such louise and
this living reporter keeps the record.
II il is a bad one the giant pitches
the soul into the fire: if it is good
he is allowed to pass on and pick out
a wife among those who have died
in advance OF their husbands.
These same people account for the
tides by saying that in a far distant
sea there lives a gigantic crab which,
when it goes into it's home, forces
out the water. II is then the tide
rises. When il craWls out the water
flows in, and then the tide falls.
The Tagbanuas get most of their
food from the sea. but they do a
little dry farming. They seem to have
some Chinese blood. They use an old

Coming to the paganS alone, the sit
uation is even more complicated.
There are more than a half million
of them who live to a large extent in
the wilds and who are scattered all
the way from northern LuZon to the
coast of Borneo. They worship
strange gods and spirits who are sup
posed to live in the trees. and each
tribe has its own religion, traditions
and customs.
During the past - years Uncle Sam
has been doing what he could AT ham
ding this problem. He has brought
some of the best scientific brains of
the world into his service and the re-
suits already accomplished are truly
surprising. He has practically wiped
out head hunting in the north and
human sacrifices here in the south. He
has started schools everywhere among
the Benguet Igorots Bontoks, kalin
gas. TinEeians. Ifugaos. llonsots and
even among the NegritoeS. The first
of these tribes are pagan MalayS.
The Negritoes are supposed to be the
pygmy aborigines or closely allied to
them. J have already written of the
Ifugaos, the highest type of these
peoples. and have described their re-
ma rka Bile culture.

end of the islands. as far from the
