All the while lightning played over
the mountain and rain fell about in
torrents.
Civilized man never saw Madame
Pele. the Fire Goddess, credited by
native legend with making her home
In Kilauea's cauldron, on such a
rampage.
Stories handed down from genera

CARL MAYS HAS
NOT CHANGED
HIS WAYS
Out on Pacific Coast He Il
Still Pulling Wise
Cracks.

Carl Mays doesn't change. They
probably will boot him at the Pole
Grounds when he comes there next
season with the Reds, just as the
Red Sox fans booed him when he
went there in 1919 after being re.
leased to the Yankees.
Mays is now in California. and
he has been breaking into print in
the San Francisco papers. Among
other things, Carl is quoted as say.
ing that Miller Higgins is a joke
manager, who has been carried
along for several years by a power
full team. He says that Higgins
doesn't know anything about work
ing pitchers, and that he Nays
had little chance to show anything
in New York in the last two years.
Among other bright utterances
credited to Carl is that Babe Ruth
Is not great hitter, because he is
weak against lefthanders, and has
a pronounced batting weakness il
pitchers know how to pitch against
him.
He says that he knows Ruth's
"eAAheSS, ana hopes that the Reds
Will meet the Yankees in the 1924
world series. He says Ruth couldn't
hit him because he knows Just
how to pitch to him.
1t really is a strange thing that
Ruth seldom batted against Mays,
except in spring training games.
The Yankees bought Carl from the
Red Sox late in 1919, and Ruth
came here from the Boston club the
following spring. Both Of these men
came up from the international
League about the same time, the
Red Sox purchasing Ruth in 1914
from Baltimore and Mays the same
year from Providence.
While they have been team.
mates on six championship teams
three here and three in Boston, there
has been little love between the
pair. While the Yankees were torn
apart by internal dfssension in 1922
Ruth and Mays were on rival fac.
lions, and did not notice each other
off the ball field
Naturally Mays latest remarks
will make him even more solid with
Ruth. Putting Higgins and Ruth
on the pan as soon as he leaves
New York also should endear Carl
to New York fans, who had tired OF
his squawks and considered him
good radiance.

There Is no doubt at all that the
first place would have been deter
mined by a meeting last year, and
it is hoped that the same condi-
ton will prevail this time. 1t is
the ambition of service people to
reach a point where their annual
games will determine the lead in
that sport, and this is one in which
they have appeared to have accom-
plished their object.
The game is somewhat older at
the Naval academy than at the
Military Academy, and the naval
team has not been defeated in
seven seasons. It has a wonderful
coach in George Findlayson, and
gets plenty of the finest material.
including many Of the football men,
on its squad. A similar condition
exists at West Point, and at both
it is regarded as the best spring
sport for football players.
The game on May 81 will mark
the first meeting of the service
school teams in lacrosse and Will
be the most important game Of
the year. Neither Yale nor Har-
ward figure greatly In lacrosse,
and Princeton and the University
Of Pennsylvania are by no means
among the leaders. Thus, the
Army and Navy have . great
chance of occupying command
ing position rs to this sport.
The Navy has some other high
points on its schedule, notably the
game with Syracuse, to be played
here on May II. Syracuse has
made considerable advances in la.
crosse during the last two seasons
and played the midshipmen a tie
game at Syracuse last year. II
refused to play off the tie, and the
Navy has been anxious for another
meeting. The game will be the big
home contest for the year.
There will be two away-from.

besides the contest at West Point

He says he hopes to give Wash

upset the dope.
Hiram Conibear was formerly a
track coach. 1t is said he had
never pulled a stroke in his life
when he started coaching crew at
the northern university. This hardly
seems credible; but it's a fact that
Conibear, by studying English
methods. produced q coaching sys-
tenn and developed a stroke which
later brought home the bacon at
Poughkeepsie. on the Pacific Coast
and in New England waters.
Conibear achieved immense popu-
larity at Washington even before
the Huskies gained fame with their
western stroke. He was at the
Seattle campus during the early
glories of Gil Dobie, great football
mentor; but Conibear held place
in the hearts of alumni and under.
graduates Of Washington which
Dobie never approached.
Coach Ed Leader and other pro.
teges Of Conibear have not tried to
claim credit for their success in
the crew coaching field and have
acknowledged their victories were
due to the system taught them on
Lake Washington by Hiram Conf
bear.
