able understand And, of course, somewhere in the outer distance, great heaps of shifting sand, which may be nothing but sand dunes, or which may cover cities that were old in Solo, mons time. All of which will be quite different from the life she and her husband have been leading in their villa at Hendaye, near Biarritz.
 But love of adventure is likely to be a predominant trait when one is the child of English and Russian parents.
 A few years ago, when the life at the Hendaye villa became too tame ato- gether, and she was not yet ready to ex- plore Arabia, the Countess made little bet with friend that she and her hus- band could make their way through Spain masquerading as gipsy musicians.
 Under the terms of the bet, they were to start without funds, from the Spanish frontier, and take no money except that thrown to them by admirers of their melody.
 "We did it," she chuckled, just before she set sail for the East this time. q played the banduria, and my husband sang songs of Araby. Of course, he knows no Arabic, and can't sing, but that didn't matter. In fact, I think it made the illusion better"
 The Countess hurried her departure from England somewhat as a result of the to-do that has been made over re- cent statements by Commander Crau- ford, British naval officer and explorer, who just got back from Arabia. Crau- ford has been telling audiences he found the lost land of Ophir there, and has been having quite dispute with the geographers and archaeologists, some of them saying Ophir could not possibly be where he says it is--400 miles east of Alden, and few hundred yards back from the sea. She means to find out the truth of that, among other things
 The first contact of the Countess with Arabia was not over and above pleasant, as has been indicated. She was just getting interested in the peo- pie when the World War broke out, and she was marked for deportation by Gen eral Lin,an von Sanders, the German who was the military and political rep resentative of Berlin at Constantinople Put under arrest, she was detained for a short time, in spite of her protest that her mission was not political. After several talks with her, Sanders Pasha de- cided that she was too observing to be allowed to roam at large in any city be- hind the Turkish lines, and ordered her sent to Egypt.

 Countess Malmignati will include milch camels in her caravan, not being at all certain of finding water when she wants it. There will be fourteen camels in the transport train. Ten for riding, and four for baggage. The diet of the party will include dates and o. meat, the latter uncooked but dried in the sun. The Countess expects take her turn gunning for meat, for she can use a rife better than most men. There will be we'll stocked medicine chest. And

 And she expects 70 be very happy, for she loves the desert, and enjoys the company of the Arabs, who are its people.

CilC AsOll!dli lSiCNt oL Egypt, made some ex- plorations in t h a t part of Arabia that Countess Malmignati is to pass through. Touching only the fringes of the vast, unknown desert coun- try, he reported tlac- es of departed but once glorious civiliza- tions. Then Aelius Gallus was recalled from Egypt, Rome sent no more scholars out to be p-efects, but only politicians. Civilizations of the West rose and fell, and the veil of mys- tery was drawn again across the stage of Southern Arabia.
 Tales of the buried splendors of the far places have continued to intrigue the arch aeologists, and t h e Countess says that scholarly old Arbians have told her that .heir fathers told them there were towns in the mysteri- ous, forbidden coun- try as magnificent as

GHe SdIuy wastes O1 southern ArdDld, and to explore lands untrodden by Europeans since Aelius Galus passed that way in 26 B. c.
 Although she has courageous hus- band, formerly cavalry colonel in the Italian army, and an athletic brother, she left London alone.
 In Arabia, she will pick up few wild tribesmen to act as guides and servants but she will be the only European in the expedition; and, of course, the only woman.
 The exploration, if all goes we'll, will take about five months, and Countess Malmignati expects not only to get few thrills but to make archaeological dis coveries of worldwide importance. Per haps even to locate the buried temples of that lost land of Ophir, Sheba's coun- try, which is thought by some to be located in Southern Arabia.
 It is no wild goose chase upon which the Countess has embarked, no sudden whim of beautiful, impulsive woman in quest of excitement. Exploration is nothing new to the daring Anglo-Rus- sian, wh~ was in Arabia away back in 1914, when the World War broke out, and was arrested and put out of the country by the Turks, who ruled Arabia. She knows the hardships and dangers she is going to encounter and is quite willing to run the risks and pay the price.
 The tribes among which she will pass are savage tribes, hostile not only to the Europeans and Turks, but even to other Arabians.
 It is wild country, in which the peo- pie of one village are said to refer to villagers from over the brow of the next hill as foreigners" and where nobody has any conception of the great. hust- ling world outside.
 It was not without much argument that Count Malmignati consented to be left behind. But at last he yielded in the face of his pretty wife's logic.
 Ao AOt uCoO duIOHS tliC Arabians have known," said the Count ess, explaining her decision to go alone. "I have no reason to believe the fight ing tribes of the hinterland are other wise. A woman travelling at the head of her own caravan will be given court esies, l believe, which she would not get if she were escorted by man of her own people. I shall trust myself to the honor of the tribesmen."
 Yet the Countess is a sensible soul, and she will carry load of presents for judicious distribution as she goes along. There will be silk abbas, silver bowls and plates, all sorts of jewelry and near jewelry, and novelties. The men, she expects, will be hospitable, but it is her experience that the women of isolated tribes do not look kindly upon a lady from abroad, and resent the sensation

spectfully as they did the New
Il York Giants few days ago
the Pittsburgh Pirates today
had rolled up a winning streak OF
nine games and a good sized lead in
the National League.
The 1925 winners of the world crown
threatened to make clean sweep OF
their series with the Cards as they
did with the Giants, by knocking off
the champs by 8 to in 10inning
setto yesterday.
When world champions get together
good ball games result, and this
latest meeting between the teams
that won the crown in 1925 and 1926
respectively, was unusually close and
well played.
In hitting. the Pirates had the edge,
Is to 13. and each team had to send
three pitchers to the mound before
it was over. The winning hit, a
single. was made by Joe Bush, the
last of the three Pirate hurlers, who
won his own ball game, s to Z, by
scoring Harris in the tenth.
Meanwhile the Giants were taking
a one-tWo on the chin from Brooklyn
in the shape of double defeat, s
to 3 and 5 to 1. In both games
Wilbert Robinson had the kind of
pitching he has been signing for
Dazzy Vance pitched the first and

The Chicago Cubs, who share the

Buccaneers with a 3-to-2 victory over
Cincinnati in the eleventh. Again a
relief pitcher won his own ball game,
Charley Root driving out the double
that tailed the winning run.

DEBUT OF JOHNSON
TO BE MADE HERE

NEW YORK, May 2S.-If Fred
Marberry was not called upon to
come to the aid of Hollis Thurston in
the first game Of the double-header
against the Yankees this afternoon,
Manager Harris expected to use the
big Texan as starting hurler in the
second section of the program.
Marberry has been especially effec-

trim. has not been so successful. SO
Bucky wants to reserve his veteran,
who has but recently recovered from
his serious leg injury, for a start
against some other club.
Goose GOslin was the only National
to hit in both games yesterday. He
singled off Pennock in the third inning
of the initial affair and got to Hoyt
for hit the beginning Of the second
round of the nightcap. The Goose
tried to make a double Of his safety
off Waite and was thrown out by
Ruth.
Ruth got a hit and a walk out of

went hitless in the second tilt. He
faced Hadley twice, flying to Goslin
and getting life when Rigney muffed

three vigorous swings without meet.

Lazzeri, clever second-sacker of the

Tony had nine chances, several OF
them exceptionally difficult. and he
took care of all in remarkable style.
