TWO HORNED RH|NO
 HUNTED IN SIAM
Two Young Americans to Seek
 Permission to Search

Philadelphia, Jan. l9 Ip Two young Philadelphia explorers will call on the King of Siam shortly and ask his permission to capture and take home with him one of his sacred white elephants
 They are Rodolphe Meyer De Schauensee. son of Baroness De Schauensee of Paris, formerly Matilda D. Poland of Philadelphia, and Tyson smith.
 But white elephants. according to De Schaucnsee, will be q secondary consideration. and neither the cap ture of one or the kings perrnis- sion to bring it home will be quite as satisfying as the capture Of 3 tWohorned Samese rhinoceros.
 Two expeditions into Brazil, through part of the country where Colonel r. H. Fawcett, British ex- plorer, IS now lost, constitutes til. experience with which De Schaueh- sec prepares to delve into a little known section of southeast Asia. He IS m ornithologist of note.
 Everyone thinks Of Siamcse twins and white elephants when they speak of Siam" says De schauensee. "Of course I woul! like to bring back a white eIe- phant, bat they all belong to the king, and are held sacred. We will ask bis permission to capture one. but I doubt f we can get it.
 But there are more importau, things in siam than white cle- plants. Tor instance, it is a bird paradise, and within an area Of about 200,ooo square miles there are more than 1,3Go varieties. Th.. United States has only 700 vari- cites. With the exception of New Guinea. il is the finest bird col lecting spot in the world"
 It is one of De Schauensee's am hitions 10 bring back q specimen O. the king cobra
 They are far more deadly than the Indian cobra, and as l under stand if, will attack men at sight without provoad'ion.
 The Siamese held them sacred and will not kill them, and as fl result thcy have been knoHn to attack villages and either kill or drive out all the inhabitants. Jus at present ] an trying 10 find q serum 10 protect against their bite. | would like To bring on, back fo Philadelphia with m.."

Charlie Moran, baseball coach st
Catholic University, plans 70 con-
vert Capt. Ray. Foley. noted Cardi-
mai athlete, into q shortstop tins
wear. The Cardinals are lacking 9
capable diamonder for the shortfield
berth and Moran believes that the
versatile Foley is the person Tor
the vacancy. Foley has pitched ana
played the outfield during his nase-
bali career at the Brookland lnstiIu-
lion.
Last year, the Cardinals went
over to Annapolis Tor a game with
the Navy nine. but Coach Moran
found he was without a shortstop.
He shifted Ray Foley from the gar
den to the inner field works and
Foley gave q brilliant performances.
He played the position with such
grace and excellence that Moran has
decided to use him as his regular
shortstopper this year. providing.
of course. that no other candidate
exhibits better class.
As A. the usual case, Moran
will have his problems this year.
He must reconstruct his club
from q few leftoVers and what
prospects have been provided by
the 1927 Freshman nine. Battler
Byrne is the only letter man
among the pitchers.
Varsity followers from last year
are Jerry Ryan, Jack Conlin, Mat
tier Byrne and Dan Peloski, pitchers;
Joe Tierney, Russ Grogan, Al
Flanagan and Sylvester DeFreytas
catchers; "Bo" Mansfield, HanR
Smith, Johnny Long, Babe Belfi and
Frank Disch, infieIdersa Tom Dunn
Leo McInerney, Paul M6rrissey and
Hank DuIin. outfielders. Peloski
also played the outfield and infield
last year. Smith and Mansfield
were also seen in the outer works
| From last years first-year nine
are Gene Murphy, Louie Gioffre
and Joe Champa, pitchers; Duke
McCabe, Joe Raiche, John O'Connell
Paul Eaton, Dutch Gerth, Tim May
Jack Donovan and Harold Tut
Amann, infielders: Charlie Reiter
catcher: Winnie Walters. Brascc
Brennan, Victor DeMattia, Don
Costello, Fat Ogden and Chick
Chenworth, outfielders.
There is but small hope that
Gene Murphy will be available
for baseball duty. He is re-
covering from hernia opera
ton and Moran doesn't want to
risk his future AS an athlete.
Murphy played throughout the
football year last fall suffering
from hernia. It was a demon.

Jim Tierney looms as the first.
