Crier In Turkey
Shouts Death News
In Night Hours

n Constantinople, Oct. 25 R- N
remote districts of Turkey, quaint
customs still linger despite Angora's
vigilant modernizing arm.
One of the strangest Is In the dis
tant village of Cesaree. Whenever a
death occurs, a public crier shouts
the news through the streets. Even
though the death occurs in the depths
of the night the crier Immediately
shouts out the doleful tidings and
wakes all the living villagers with his
cries.
The post of Public Death Crier was
established many years ago by the
Evkaf, an official organization con-
trolling religious affairs, which still
continues to pay the crier a regular
salary for the performance Of his
grislY duty

TWO RELAY RECORDS

TWO RELAY RECORDS
For many years, with few cxccp-
tons, Illinois has -l,ccn strong in
track and field athletics.
Under the expert tutclagc of Harry
Gill. Orange and Blue athletes have
cut quite q swath in various cOmpc-
tons.
/, One of Gill's creates. achievements
has been turning out stellar relay
aggrcgations.
One of the best days illinois relay
crs have enjoyed was at Athc, Drake
relays, Dcs Moines, in 1923. Gill's
boys established two new records
that afternoon. And three OF tho
thinclads shared in both of the
marks. They were Sweet, Evans and
Hughes.
In the 440-yard relay. tho trio, to-
gethcr~ with Hughes tripped the dis
lance in 42.3 seconds. And in the
880-yard event. along with Fitch,
hung up . performance Of | minute,
27.6 seconds.
! Evans and Ayres were a pair Of
the greatest sprintcrs Illinois ever
had. Evans specially was the $500
where he was clicked in 81 1/5. He
also turned the 2OO-mcter dash
(around one turn in the same time.
Sweet was q quarter-miler and .
speedy. fellow, doing so seconds con.
sistently.
Fitch was q member of the Amcri-
can Olympic team in 1924, taking
second In the 4OO1hctcr run after
having lowered the EXISTING record in

YANKEE TEAM
REBUILT-WILL
SEEK PENNANT
Ruth, Brought Back To Form
by Indoor Training, Will
BE handspring

New York, Jan. l9.-tP) "A re-
novated Yankee team will seek the
American League pcnnant this year.
The powerful hitting machine,
9 which triumphcd three seasons ago,
has been rebuilt. Babe Ruth, pre-
pared by indoor training TO win back
/. his home run laurcls, will still be the
handspring Of the attack. Joe Du-
gan ut third and Bob Meusel i'm the
Outficld are thc-onfy other veterans,
exclusive Of the pitching corps.
Roger Pcckinpangh and Everett
Scott, shortstops. have passed from
the fold. At short Higgins will dis
! play his new Salt Lake City star,
Tony Lazcrrc, another home run hit
ter extraordinary. Wallv Pipp, first
bascman, has been sold to the Reds
the niche he filled will be occupied
by Lou Gchrig, one Of the finds Of
last year.
Aaron Ward, second bascman, is on
the market. The Yankees have been
negotiating for Marty McManus Of
the Browns.
Dissatisfied With Catchers
If they fail to get him or some
other outstanding player, Mark koe-
Mig will play second.
Schang was suHplantcd as regular
catcher last year by Benny Ben
cough. but Higgins is still dssatis-
fled with his receivers.
The Yankees will take many re-
cruits south and higgins is hopeful
Of finding pitchers among them. Hoyt
and Shawkcy are on the market.
Jones, Shocker and Pennock will be
retained.

FEW ITALIAN
BALLPLAYERS
IN THE MAJORS
Rookie Nellie, Browns Sec
Ond Stacker, Should Go
Big in st. Louis

Oscar McllilO. who has a mama
that takes yon back to sunny Italy.
II you erase the Oscar. but who halls
from dear old Milwaukee. is to be a
member Of the St. Louis Browns next
season. Thereby hangs an interest
ing-talc.
Italian ball players arc in the min
GRITTY; yes. even scarce in the major
leagues. but they are on the way.
The officials Of the st. Louis Browns
arc confident the name Oscar Mcllilo
will prove drawing card
The Oscar should make hit with
the Germans Of st. Louis. while the
Italians can cnthuse over MellilO.
Outnumbe red Only by Germans.
There are more native born Ital-
ians in the city Of st. Louis than
there arc Of any other foreign ma
tionality except tho Germans. The
Italians even exceed the Irish when
it comes to being Foreigners"
And one has but to visit an Italian
section Of the Missouri city and
crowd his way through the chatter
ing black-cycd youngsters TO realize
that in the second generation the
Italians may be giving even the pre-
pOnderant German element q race for
numbers.
Every Italian is u Fan.
Practically every Italian young man
or boy Of the second generation the
first Of the American-born Of foreign
parents is a potential baseball fan
in st. Louis. The Italian element is
big factor in attendance.
Therein may be one Of the reasons
that the Browns made deal that
makes Oscar Mcllilo member OF
George Sisters crew. The acquisition
Of Tony iRego might have been an
accident; there is more evidence Of
a design in making Mellilo a Brownie
Can Beat Down Hits.
Not that the yOungstcr from Mil
waukec hasn't claims on his owr
right; he is said to have been a won
dcrful fielding second bascman, MOI
much Of hitter. but he can bca'
down hits--somcthing the Browns in
field hasn't always been so good at.
To win a berth with the Brown!
Mcllilo will have to outclass Mart,
McManus (Irish). Walter Gcrbc
(German) or Gene Robertson fnativ'
SOM.
But nationality won't count tn
