of the article from which the extract is
taken is The land we bought and then

"St. Croix, the largest Of the islands.
lies thirty eight miles south Of St, Thorn
as. It's capital is Christiansted, a town
even more beautiful than Charlotte
Amalie. 1t has a large area of level and
unusually fertile land, with hills enough
to relieve the fatness and some good
macadamized roads, separated from the
cane fields by long lines of coconut palms
whose fruit is public property. There
are considerably more than 100 miles of
these rOads-running almost the full
length of the island from Christiansted
to Frederiksted, the other port town.
There is even a notorious making regu.
lar trips between these two points.
Frederiksted, however, though com
mercially important, gives a surprising
effect Of shabbiness and d%iIapidation, and
seems at a casual and cursory view to
have few remains of former beauty. A
town that has seen its best days to all
appearances. But Christiansted! Business
of rapturousIy kissing the finger tips and
throwing them upward and outward with
a swift gesture. Well, Christiansted cap
lures. You know that it is going to DO
this at the very first glimpse of it. The
tropical setting of palms is there most
apparently. One looks over a coral reef
and many shoals that may be bad for ship
ping, but which tint the water exquisite
ly. A vessel of any size has TO stay out
side and discharge and take cargo by
lighters owing to the narrow and tortuous
channel into the small harbOr. As You
draw closer you see a trim, clean swept
quay hanked by another Of those priceless
ruddy old Danish forts-the Leyse-Augus-

Under the caption The Americans in
the Danish West Indies" N0rdJy8et,, a
Danish weekly published in New York
City, releases the findings of one Fred.
HirtshOlm, in three columns. Mr.. Hirts.
holm is a Danish author who recentlF
visited the Virgin Islands and spent his
time in St. Thnmas from where it is
supposed his impressions were gained.
The writer refers to the vegetation and
the wealth of fruit trees. cane, etc.
and ia choice language praises the natur-
al beauties of the tropics. He refers to
the dissatisfaction that existed previous
to the sale of the islands and how the
natives had great expectations from the
American government, This is about what
is stated when translated: They have
seen their dreams realized. For half a
score of years the star spangled banner
has waved from the old red mOnastic fort
over the harbOr, and American marines
patrol the narrow streets Of Charlotte
Amalie. But that has not made the
beautiful island the paradise the blacks
expected-and dissatisfaction and hate are
stronger than ever before" Mr.. Hirst-
holm goes on to report that the natives
are improvident, will only work for
about twenty or thirty cents and that
stretches so they don't have to work a
long time after; that they hate the coal
crane of the West Indian Company and
tried to wreck it because one white man
can accomplish more with it than fifty
of the natives in the same time. Some
of what he writes is new to US right
here, and it is a true saying that one has
to get news about himself from strang-
erS.

Champion Agrees TO Ia k e
Brisk Workout Sunday
When Tex Richard Will
Visit His Spectator Train
ing Camp; Warren Quits as
Sparring Partner

Spectator. N. Y. July l3.-P-
Friday the 18th was a holiday in
Spectator, where Gene Tunney is
training to defend his heavyweight
title against Tom Heeney, the rug
ged New Zealander, on July &c at
the Yankee stadium.
The days rest, Tunney's handlers
believe, will keep the champion, who
now weighs 1861. almost his fight
ing weight. from reaching the peak
of condition too early. The day of
idleness. it was explained, would put
about five pounds on him, margin
he will find useful during the -
days which are yet to come before
he defends his crown.
Tunney postponed his ten-round
session with sparring partners and
punching bags until tomorrow. The
champion has agreed to take a brisk
workout on Sunday while Tex Rick
ard is here to witness the signing of
the New York boxing commission
contract for the coming battle. The
occasion will be Richards first visit
to this resort. which the champion
considers one of the country's most
beautiful spots.
Tunney has yet to york out on
the Sabbath during the present
training campaign. but, like a Rra-
cious host. he is willing to 30 to any
extreme to entertain Rickard, his
guest.
Addison Warren, the former Uni
versity of North Carolina student
who has been on Tunney's staff of
sparring partners. quit the camp
with Jimmy Bronson, his manager,
when they learned that the New
York boxing commission had ruled
that no sparring partners would
be permitted on the nney-Heeney
card.
Warren has not worked out with
Tunney, but he was due to 20 three
rounds with the champion tomorrow.
He reluctantly denied himself this
thrill for the chance to show his
fistic wares before the crowd which
Richard expects at the championship
bout.

CHALLENGER TO
Use LEFT CLUB
In TITLE BOUT

Fairhaven, N. j., July 13.-fR)-
Most of Tom Heeney's preparations
for his "shot at the heavyweight
title on July g." are based on the
development Of his southpaw punch
ing apparatus.
His right hand. Heeney is pretty
we'll satisfied with. He has used it
effectively for years shooting jolt
ing straight punches under the
heart. These body punches have
been the Anzac's best offensive
equipment.
Now he's developing his left hand
so that it won't feel sighted when
he takes it along with his right, into
the Yankee stadium ring in two
weeks. Heeney has used his left
hand to a great extent, Of course,
in all Of his fights in the country
but there's been little or no dyna-
mite in it. Persistent practice in
sparring matches here is beginning
to show results. The challenger now
has a left hook that calls for some
respect from the critics as well as
his sparring mates.
With thunder rolling and heavy
storm clouds overhead, Heeney went
through his first night workout last
night and made such good show
ing that the critics were taken some-
what aback.
The New Zealander cuffed around
Ralph Smith-six feet five and
weighing 230 pounds = for two
rounds and repeated the same dose
for the benefit of Paul Swiderski,
the Syracuse 175-pounder.
Smith, a numbering mountain of a
man, was a mark for Heeney's hooks
and jabs. The challeng.r's left
played steady tune on Smiths face
while his right was busy pumping
in jolting punches to the body.
Swiderski was a bit tougher but
Heeney plunged in head foremost,
as is his custom and try as he could
the New Yorker could not evade
those lefts and rights that the New
Zealander shot at him from all
angles.
Heeney plans to take a rest today,
travelling to Long Branch to watch
and possibly second his sparring
partner, Phil Mercurio. in the lat
ter's match with Battling Levinsky,
once American light heavyweight
champion.
