and architecture: and in them these factors remain today as Spanish as in the mother country.
 The Spani3h-speakinE world to- day covers about 5.ooo,0o0 square miles and numbers between 90 mill liou and 100 million people. There are thus roughly half as many speakers of Spanish as of English.
 In exploring the Spanish speaking world the logical starting place is Spain, fountainhead of the forces that have influenced one-eleventh of the earth's land area. And of course the explorer takes his course westward as did spain's empire. On the west coast of Africa four patch es of territory are encountered where the Spanish flag as we'll as Spanish influences rest. Offshore are tho Canary Islands. There the Spanish flag is left behind; to such small proportions has the political realm of Spain shrunk.
 The next bit ~ the Spanish world encountered lies in the New World. It is Uruguay. smallest re- public of South America, where the children of Spain are carrying on the culture of the mother country. Beyond. eight other countries-all ot those South America save Portu- guese. Brazil and British, French, and Dutch Guiana--feli too under the banner of Spanish culture.
 Porto Rico Colorel by Spanish
 Culture
 In the West Indies there have been defections. Trinidad and the Leeward and Windward Islands, although once all claimed by Spain, have lo"t or never felt Spanish cul- ture. Over Porto Rico the flag of the United States files; but 1t is still a part of the Spanish world. Spain Is dominant in blood. tradi- tions, and language. In old Hispanl- ola where the Spanish seed was first planted in the New World, the eastern half Of the island still shows strongly the Spanish impress. This is the Dominican Republic where language and law are still Spanish. But In the western half of the island. covered by the Republic of Haiti, Spanish culture suucum- bed to that Of France and Africa.
 Jamaica. once n stronghold Of Spain. has long been dominated by British culture; and the Bahamas, claimed by Spain. have known only British influences. Cuba has been of Spanish political power since 1898, but is still cul- turally a part of Spain-the most Spanish fthe West Indian Islands.
 Through the Isthmus of Panama. Central America, and Mexico, Span- ish cultural influences sweep un- broken as they have for the past three centuries and more. Florida shows little effect Of her former Spanish ownership save for few architectural touches and q few names. Texas, too. was lost to Spain. but the effects there are greater; and in many com- near the Rio Grande 'he Spanish language is almost as nec- cessary as the English. In Arizona and California, once under Spanish Influences. the situation Is much like that fin Texas.

Gothenburg. Sweden. April :o HP --Dr Emanuel I0sker, Of Germany, former champion chess player of the world says the game has reached a deadlock. It has been developed to such perfection that it does not seem possible to go any further un- der the present rules, he believes.

|kAPLAN TO MEET
 FLOWERS TUESDAY
Winner of Bout Will Probably
 Be Signed With Sid Ferris

Sid Ferris need not go worrying around about his next opponent. Tom McArdle. matchmaker at the Queens boro A. C., attended to that little detail yesterday by signing Bruce Flowers, the classy colored light weight and Louis (Kid) Kaplan. the Meriden walloper, to battle for ten rounds at the big Long Island arena next Tuesday night. Ferris cannot very well afford to duck the winner of that jam. As a matter of fact it is believed that when the returns are all counted, a new lightweight champion will be crowned.
 It is expected that the boxing com- missioners will insist that Sidney tackle the winner of the Flowers Kaulan imbroglio. whoever emerges on top will then be chosen for a crack at Mandell's title.
 Flowers and kaplan are the out standing contenders for bout with Ferris and right now the fight fans are doing some tall speculating as to which one will finish on the right side of the count. All of Connecti- cut and especially Meriden. is vir- tually fight mad over the prospect of it's favorite son. Kaplan who is aim- ing at the lightweight title with a good chance of copping 1t.
 kaplan beat Jackie Fields, the coast sensation. without any trouble at the Polo Grounds last week and Flowers gave Jack Bernstein trim- ming on his last time out.
 What a fight Happy" and that colored flash should provide. Me- Ardle sure can dig them up.

YANKEES AND CARDINALS
 WIN IN DOUBLE HEADERS
St. Louis Team Downs Chicago Cubs In Twin Bill Pirates Fall Before Tail End Cincinnati Reds Giants Lose to Boston Braves - Hugmen Beat Red Sox Two Games-Robins Defeat Phillies-Sen- ators Divide Brace of Contests With Athletics.

By the Associated Press.
 St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees today had double headers to thank for boosting them onward two whole games in the chase for world baseball honors.
 These two powerful clubs which fought 1t out last year for the title and are going strong again this sea- son. each won two games yesterday.
 By downing the Chicago Cubs 6 to and 12 to 3, the champion Cardinals passed them in the Ma tional league standings and became tho runner-up club to the Pirates. By dropping a ' to 6 decision to the Reds that league-leading aggrega- tion meanwhile lost few precious points of It's leadership margin.
 Injury to Tommy Thevenow, crack Cardinal shortstop, marred the Red birds day of triumph. Sliding into second in the second game suffered an ankle fracture which may keep him of the field all season.
 The fast sailing Pirates fell victim to the last team in the league race. Cincinnati winning in the tenth on Critz's single and the superior pitch ing of Luque and Mays.
 Even though back home in the east where the National league pick ing is supposed to be easier, the Giants lost to the Braves by to 5. their win-loss average falling to just 300 for the season so far. Two homers for the Boston catcher, Frank Hogan, a rookie from Boston college. spelled disaster for the Me- Graw men.
 Pressing their metropolitan rivals, the Giants, closely, the Robins in fourth place continued their rise by dropping the Phillies by to as the arm of Dazzy Vance flashed its finest pitching.
 The Yankees two victories, scored over the trailing Red sox by to 3 and I to 1, showed them ahead farther than ever in the American leaxue race. AS the White Sox were idle and the Senators and Athletics split a double bill. none of their rivals gained.

To my humble way of thinking, Max Carey, now with the Brooklyn Dodgers, but who won his great fame with Pittsburgh, must be rated as one of the greatest ball players of all time, with few peers as a base-runner
 To the ability to take a command ing lead and seldom be caught nap ping by the pitcher. and the art of breaking perfectly with the pitch, add great speed and a most decep- tive slide and you have the reasons for Carey's great skill on the bases
 While it isn't generally known Max Carey. during his 16 years con- nection with the National League has topped that organization in 1C of those years as champion base runner. first winning the title in his third year as a big leaguer.
