EXPECT ID
 'GET SOMEWHERE
George Burns and Three New
 InfelderS Promise We'll
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Bradentown, Fla, March 1s.-Bol- stered by three new infelders, by George Burns, the veteran outfelder, and by two promising young pitch ing, prospects, the Philadelphia Ma tionals have a fighting chance to get somewhere this season." in the opinion of Arthur Fletcher. who is starting his third season as man. ager of the perennially and prover- bially lowly Phils.
 Only Shortstop Heinie Sand of last years infeld will start as regular on opening day. Walter Kimmick, with the Vernon club of the Coast league last year, will be at second; Nelson Hawks, formerly of Memphis will hold down first; while Huber, a Texas league product, will make his debut at third. '- Fletcher believes that Jack Knight, with Houston in 1924, is the "find' of all the rough pitching ore that has come to the club, for smelting, this season. Gran O'Neal, from Beau- mont, is conner, the manager thinks, and if he and Knight make good the Phillies' pitching staff will i number nine men this season.
 "I believe I have a better team than l had last year." said Fletch- CT today. "The infeld is much im- proved. It is much faster than last 1 years and is surer on defensive play. am putting in three new men. Sand alone of last years infield will start in my regular lineup on opening day. This is a radical change, but l believe I am justified in making it.
 Hawks, my first baseman, pleases me with his hitting and his speed. kimmick is an aggressive fellow and he is keen and crafty batsman. | Huber, who will start at third, l am not so sure about, but I believe he is an improvement on anything ] had at this time last year. l George Burns, the veteran who came to us from Cincinnati, will surely start as one of my regular outhelders. George reported 10 pounds lighter than last year, and l am delighted with his form in the practice games.
 T will switch old Cy Williams from center to right field and place Harper, a ball hawk who led the league last year as fielder, in cen ter. Thus l will have Mckan and Schultz for utility use.
 "Wrightstone I will haze for util. ity infeld work. I need another man here.
 Jack Knight the Houston, Texas boy, is my best young pitching pros. pect. His work has been impressive so far and hope to have him for . regular. O'Neal, from Beaumont, has shown well. If these two youngsters make good I will carry nine pitch CTS this year.
 Hawks, Kimmick and Knight ol their showing to date should hell our team a lot this season. In fact I look on Knight as real find. Wt have sighting chance to get some where this year."

HUGHEY DUFFY
(BY BILLY EVANS)

New Orleans, March 1S.--Over 30 years ago Hughey Duffy, now a scout for the Boston Red SoX, batted .4SS in the National league. That is the best average ever made in the majors.
 Last season it was seriously threatened by Rogers Hornsby, fa- nous slugger of the St. Louis Car dinals. He finished the season just 14 points shy of Duffy's total.
 Proud of Average
 Hughey Duffy is rather proud of that average and well he should be. It has stood the test of time. Such great batsmen as Delahanty, Lajoie, Wagner, Speaker, Roush, Cobb, Sisler, Heilmann and scores of others have been shooting at it for years but it still stands supreme.
 For years left-handers have held the edge among the batting cham pions. It is a rather singular fact that Duffy is a right-hander and the player who most seriously threat ened his mark, Rogers Hornsby, hits the same way. ~
 As I watched Duffy bat grounders to the Red SoX intield, it was easily apparent to me why he was such a great batter in his day. Despite the fact that he is well past the 50 mark, he looks 10 years younger, there still remain the rhythm and power to his swing.
 Opposite in Physique Duffy is just the opposite of Hornsby in physique, He is short and fairly stocky, while HornSby is tall and rangy. Yet I could see much similarity between the style of the two players as 1 watched Duffy do his stuff in batting practice.
 That fellow FTornsby nearly caught you last year, Hughey," was my greeting to Duffy He smiled. Picks Cy Young
 "I should say he did, certainly had me worried for a time. There $ a great batter. He does everything right at the plate and is fast Nothing that he accomplishes in the way of batting will surprise me Hes liable to bat .45O.
 However, it would be no disgrace to be topped by batter like Horns by And you know l have held that record some time, l don't believe any other record has stood as long,
 "Who was the greatest pitcher ol your day. Hughcy?"
 "Shucks, they were all great tC me. However, l don't believe therc was ever a greater pitcher than C! Young, all things considered, ability consistency and durability"

Hooligans Defeated

Pittsburgh, March 1S.-The Pi- rate regulars in their training camp at Paso Rohles, Cal. yesterday cele- bratcd St. Patrick's day by defeating the Hooligans. The score was 10 3. It was the veterans revenge for their beating at the hands of the Yannigans on Monday.
 The Hooligans went into the game under a handicap. Sore arms had depleted their pitching de- partment and Tom Moran, late or Center college, was sent to the mound. He went well for five ln- nings, but had meagre support,
 Lee Meadows took the twirllng assignment for the first team and lasted eight innings, Louis koupal succeeding him.

dian woman took with great pleas

snatched it away from her and
threw it towards us in great anger.
We concluded that his evil act
sprang from some conception which
reflected upon our honor and pro-
fessiOn because we had innOcently
bestowed the shawl as some recon-
pense, and we endeavored with
gravity and dignity which the oc-
caSiOn demanded to make him un-
derstand our true motives.
Then it was that the Indian, de-

pools Of good water in a distance
of some two leagues. (The old
Spanish leagues was equivalent to
2.41 miles.) We crossed small riv-
er that flows from the northeast to
the southwest, in appearance very
much like an irrigating ditch.
There was a small grove and fields
of moderate size, not very well in
closed, along the side that we pass
ed. After leaving the river, we as
cended a plain on which we found
a small lake, and a number of hOl-
lows which held rainwater, and
served as watering places and
bathing pools for the cows, which
we now began to see in numerous
herds, belonging to the Moquis. We
continued our way along the mesa
two and half leagues to the south
southeast, climbed a lofty hill and
as the night was drawing on and
there was pasturage for the ami
mails, we stopped, naming the place

this point vast fields and pastur-

covered with grass, and which
reached on the southeast to a point
beyond Moqui Today six leagues
and a quarter.
November 15th-We went from
the Summit of the Plains to the
south-southeast, and travelled in
that direction for nine leagues
without finding water, not daring
to lose ourselves in the search of
it. We found a quantity of it at
last in valley where there grew
chamiso, of the kind known as ''lit-
tie chamisco." We camped in the
place, calling it Chico Canyon. To-
day nine leagues to the south
southeast. We had nothing for our
supper tonight, since the horse
flesh was not enough for the whole
party. There were many heads OF
cattle roaming about and some OF
our party were anxious to kill a
COW or calf, they begged with in
sistance that We should give them
permission to relieve in this way
the hunger which pressed upon us
all. But we, believing that we
were near to the town OF Orayb1,
and that such an act as killing one
of their herd might raise some
trouble with the Moquis, and might
Illustrate our design, which was to
bring to these people the Light and
Sweetness of the Gospel against
their voluntary blindness and in
veterate obstinacy, ordered another
horse should be killed, and that no
one should go near the herds OF
cattle, even though we were assur-
ed that these herds were running
as common property.

east three leagues, and near to a
/ lofty mesa we descended to the
east-northeast quarter Of a
league. We found here a we'll
beaten road and came to the con-
clusiOn that it would lead us to
some one of the Moqui villages. We
followed it and jOurneyed over level
country three leagues to the north
east, and nearly two leagues to the
north, which brought us to the
mesa of the town of Oraybi (Orai-
biz. We ordered the members Of
the company to halt at the foot of
the mesa and that no one, with the
exception of those who were to ac-
company us, should pass on to the
town until we had directed them to
do so. We climbed to the summit
of the tableland without any diff
Guilty. On entering the town We
were surrounded by great num-
Der of Indians, great and small.
We asked to see the chief and war
riors, in a language which they
did not understand, and wishing to
pass to the house of the chief, they
detained us. One of them told us
in the Navajo language that We
must not enter into the town. Then
Don Juan Cisneros, in very earn
est way asked them in the same
tongue if they were not our
friends? With this they became
satisfied and one of the old men
led us to his house and made us
his guests, giving us a room in
which to pass the night and fur
nishing us with such food as they
themselves used. Today seven
leagues.
At night there came to us the
chief, and two old men and after
they had assured us that they were
our friends they offered to sell us
whatever food we were in need OF,
on which we expressed our very
great thanks.
November 17th-Very early in
the morning they brought to our
lodgings several jars or basins fill
ed with -four, butter, guavas, and
other kinds of provisions. We pur-
chased of them for the present
what we required, but the things
which we most needed they brought
in small quantities. Having no in
terpreter, we were not able to eff
feet reduction of the price as we
would have desired to do. We sue
ceeded in getting them to under
stand a little, especially the chief
and our host and benefactor. They
listened attentively, but made no
other declaration than that they
wished to retain the friendship of
the Spaniards. The chief told us
that he had alreadya sent word to
the other towns that they should
provide us with lodgings and sell
us whatever provisions we might

The Winslow Mail has in its pos
session a complete copy of the
"Diary and Travels of Frayle Alta
nasio Dominguez and Frale Silves-
tire VeleZ de Escalante to Discover
a Route From the Preside of San
ia Fe, New Mexico, to Monterey,
Southern California"
The jorney was begun on the 29th
day of July, 1875, and ended Janu-
ary 2, 1777, without the exploring
party being able to make cross
ing of the Canyon of the Colorado.
From the diary, which designateS
mountains and rivers by names not
in any present day atlas, the route
of the party is difficult to deter
mine, from notes of latitudes, their
way probably led well up into the
northern part Of Colorado and Utah
an observation having been taken
at Al degrees, six minutes and five
seconds north. Difficult mountain
passes induced them to turn south,
and from that point they were with
out Indian guides, the Lagunas who
had gone with them having become
frightened at being so far from
home and deserting unceremonious
ly.
The Colorado river was encount-
cred at about SO degrees north,
which would be about the present
site of Lees Ferry in Coconino
county Their privations had been
terrible, on more than one occasion
feeding wholly upon cactus and
nuts gathered in the desert, and as
their store of provisions became ex-
hausted, killing the pack horses for
food.
The diary is complete, every days
happenings and extent of travel be-
ing Transcribed in detail.
On November 14th, the party de-
cided to abandon their attempt to
find a passage to the coast, al
though they had been led to believe
on several previous occasions that
they were within few days travel
of the Spanish mission at Monterey.
Their course from the point where
they were turned back by the Grand
Canyon, led through the country of
the Moquis (HopDs and along the
Little Colorado river The Hopi
villages of Navajo county are de-
cribed in the latter entries of the
diary, but by names slightly differ
ent than now used.
The entry for November IA and
succeeding days of travel on the re-
turn to Santa Fe through the land
Of the Hopis is as follows:
for we could no longer
continue our journey owing to our
need of provisions and because the
winter was upon us in great sever

shawl, because if they accepted it
his relations and neighbors would
be angry with them. This he said
with view to satisfy us, but we
were not able to clearly understand
just what he meant by it all, al
though it was not difficult to un-
derstand what he meant when he
was referring to previous events.
That afternoon we set out for
Gualpi. Having travelled nine
leagues and more than four in an
easterly direction, we arrived late
at night, our little party remaining
at the foot of the pine covered hill.
while we climbed to the summit
with few companions The Ia
nos and Gualpi Indians received
us very cordially, and gave us
lodging in the house of the chief
OF the Tanos, where we passed the

need until we arrived at Zuni We
gave them to understand that we
greatly appreciated this favor, as
we'll as others that we had receiv-
ed from them, and after midday
we departed from Oraybi, and took
our way towards the town of XOn-
gopavi, and after journey Of near
ly two leagues and a quarter to
the southwest we arrived at our
destination after sunset, and were
kindly received by the people who
Immediately gave us lodging. To-
day two leagues and a quarter to
the southeast.
November 18th-The principal
Indians of this town and of others
around about, and of the towns of
XipaQlobi and Mossonhanabi (Mis-
hongnovi?), being assembled here,
we preached to them, after having
expressed our gratitude to them for
the favors and kind reception they
had extended to US, partly by signs
and partly by the use of the Nava-
jo language. They replied that
they could not debate with us be-
cause they did not understand
Spanish, nor did we understand
the Moquino, that we should con-
tinue our joG4ney to Gualpi (Wal-
pip, where there were some in
telligent persons who understood
Spanish, and that after telling the
chiefs and warriors there all that
we desired of them, we could then
learn what they wished. But as
we urged them to give us a re-
sponse for themselves, in case they
understood what we had said to
them, they added that the chief and
warriors of Oraybi had sent them
word that they were to give lodg-
ing, look after our wants and sell
us some provisions, winning our
friendship, but not treating with
us concerning other matters, and
that they desired to be our friends
but not Christians.
When they had concluded this
address, we presented to the Indian
who had given us lodging and had
been so kind in many ways, wool
en- shawl for his wife, Judging that
by this gift they would understand
better what our gratitude was, and
might feel a warmer friendship
towards us. But it did not turn out
as we expected, for when the In
