Of Negro.~and the hair Of a mixed
breed. He spoke to his audience for

pathetic appeal to save race from

that came from this mans lips He

everything from the Indian except
his racial name, and he begged that

THE REASON GIVEN.

The same department makes tho
assertion that these so-called. indians
classify themselves as Indians, be-
cause it gives them the advantage
of better social conditions, 1t ex-
empts them from taxes and also
exempts them from military and
naval service in case of war. A
delegation OF these so-called Indians
whooped down upon the Capitol
building for the purpose OF denying
the charge, and at the same time
defending their racial integrity.

THE PURPOSE OF THE BILL

The purpose OF the bill is to de-
fine the citizens of Virginia into
two Cases one white and the other
co!ored. UP to the present time II
seems that the laws OF the State
recognise three races OF people. the
Caucasian. the Negro and the In.
dian. The Department OF Vital Sta
ttstics. which is a State department.
seems to be in position to prove
that there no longer exists in vir-
yinia any full blooded Indians.
hence IL this be true. there Is no
longer any need for third c.assif-
cation in this State What was
formerly an Indian Is now somebody
else bee ause of intermarriage.

Walter Hagen, national professional

from second place and win the West
coast open golf tournament with a
card of 2S3. but his battle proved not
to be with Bobby Cruickshank. the
unattached professional, who led the

Instead, Hagen had to play to beat

285.
Hagen was playing the fourth hole
when the news Of Jones finish came
to him. He knew he had to have
q " to beat the Atlantic golfer, SO
he played at the mark and got q 20,
which brought his total for the
tournament two strokes under Jones.
Meanwhile Cruickshank encountered
bad going and was forced to take q
76 in the final round. This cost him
the tournament, for he turned in a
card of 2S7, next to Jones.
The gallery's interest in the Hagen
Jones duel was further enlivened by
the announcement that the two golf.

NAVY NINE TO OPEN
CAMPAIGN SATURDAY

ANNAPOLIS. March 25.--A prom.
Using baseball season will open at the
Naval Academy Saturday. when the
Midshipmen meet the University OF
Richmond
The Navy team is for the third sea-
son under the tutelage of "Chief" Ben
der, and as the two previous teams
coached by him defeated the Military
Academy, the fact that he Is in charge
inspires confidence.
There is an unusually fine balance
in the strength of the Navy squad
There is an excellent string of pitch
ers. two good catchers, material for a
really brilliant infield and a reliable
and hard-hitting outfield, with plenty
of reserve players for all places.
At present Myers. FARRELL and
Zabilski, the latter a very successful
pitcher on the Plebe nine last year,
are in the lead in the hurling line,
with Graf. Newhouser and Tuggle in
reserve. Haerlein is doing the catch
ing, while Hamilton can be called from
first base If necessary. in which case
Peasley, the hard-hitting initial bagger
of the Plebes last year, would take
that corner.
The infield has two fiashy veterans
in Capt. Cooper, at short, and Schwah
at second. O'Neill or Mannagan is
likely to land at second, while Milliken
is another excellent fielding infielder
who may get chance.
Leslie, left field, and Ward. right
field. are playing their fourth year
on the varsity nine. Condra, another
hard hitter and reliable fielder, is
playing in center, and there are a
number of good players on the second
string.
A big feature this year is it's general
hard hitting, and it is believed that ii
will be the strongest in the history of
the Academy in this particular.
Only the game against Penn State
will be played away from Annapolis

Often the boy who cannot do much,
so far as his throwing arm Is con.
cerned when he is in the growing
stages. becomes a very good thrower
in later years. However, that does
not compensate the youngster who
wishes to be very good thrower
when he is young and enjoys play
ing the game of base ball.
When an arm fails to meet the ex-
pectations of the owner the first thing
not to do is to throw until the arm
is strained. 1t is easy to start up a
bad arm any time after IA years of
age. If you are an old ball player
you can lame your arm permanently
in any season in which you happen
to be playing. One throw when the
arm is sore may put it out for good
and all. If you are a young ball
player and try to overexert, you i'm
mediately start a weakness which
will grow worse and worse if the arm
Is not given complete rest.
Penalty for Furnishing Arm.
In the arm of the boy the muscles
are a long way from having reached
that stage Of development which
comes with maturity. The muscles
are like the young fruit tree which
is bearing its first buds. If the tree
Is pruned too closely it. will very
likely die and If the boy ball player
continues to use his arm day after
day when he feels the first pain in
dicating soreness he is being warned
of something more than a mere lame
arm The muscles do not like the
way they are being treated and they
will stiffen and contract and be of
little use IL the arm continues to be
punished.
Because a boy cannot throw from
first base to third it is no sign that
he never will throw that distance.
Two or three years later he may be
making the throw very well.
1t will not do any harm to a boy
who cannot throw across the diamond
If he will take simple exercises with
Indian clubs to help his shoulder and
upper arm muscles. Dumbbells are all
right, but they are really of more use
for the development of the wrist
muscles than for the development OF
arm muscles. However, any boy who
sets out to strengthen his throwing
muscles should be quite as careful not
to overwork himself In his exercise
movements as not to overwork him
self when he is throwing on the field
Throw It on the Bound.
Any boy who cannot make the
throw to third base from first on the
fly should give up trying until his
arm has reached that condition OF
strength where he can make the ball
carry over. Throw the ball on the
bound. It Is far better to do that than
to try to throw It on a line and

whereas McDermott won out with 29l
Of course, the others had to contend
with the same weather conditions, but
they seemed to know how to meet
them better. Tommy MacNamara shot
a great So on the last round, to get
second money. 1t was the second
time 70 had ever been broken in the
championship, Tommy having turned

Englewoodi Golf Club in New Jersey

Learned a Valuable Lesson.
That experience taught me one val
liable lesson-that the golfer who ex.
poets to win has to learn to battle the
weather just the same as he battles
the rest of the players. 1t is all a part
of the game, and the player who al.
lows himself to get fused and fretted
because playing conditions are bad Is
going to do nothing but make bad
matters worse.
From an artistic standpoint my first
shot at the big title was not exactly
a bowling success. But few days
later recovered some lost ground.
