At this time, 1873 it is stated that a corsair
by the name of Colon met and defeated
squadron under the command of Count of
Prades. If, as seems possible, the corsair
Colon was Columbus, who later went a-voyag-
ing for Ferdinand, it is easily understandable
why he avoided all mention of his birthplace
and his former identity with the corsairs.
After Columbus return to Spain from Amer
lea, Feliu de la Penya, in his "Anales de
Catalunya," says: God rewarded the King for
his generous faith and for his avoidance of
the riches and tributes of the Jews in the dis
covery of the Indies, and to Barcelona the
fidelity and love to their King, having favored
the arrival of Colon in this city, to let him
say to the King that ne discovered them by
the medium of a Catalonian mariner, and he
credited the truth by delivering six Indians in
order that with the holy baptism Barcelona
might have -" To-day our intention is
to spread the news that the Catalonian nation
has been the first that planted the glorious
standard Of the faith In that new wNaA
."
The Spanish government taking keen in
terest in this discussion pertaining to the birth
place and adventures of the Grande Almirante,
has named commission, headed by the Duke
Of Alba, to direct the organization and func-
tioning of the Congress- de Historic de America,
which will sit at Seville during the exposition.
Catalonians are confident that they will be
able to establish their claims that Columbus
was born in Catalonia at this forthcoming con-
greSs, aided by proofs and documents and the
research of Senior Uloa.
The contention that Columbus was not born
In Genoa, nor in Pontevedra, but in Catalonia;
is somewhat supported by the slogan which

Spanish scholars are now concentrating their
efforts to establish the truth about Columbus
and his discoveries.
For the last 430 years written statements
have generally concurred in the opinion that
Columbus was GenoeSe and that he set out
across the Atlantic, the first time, from PaloS.
These almost universally accepted stories about
the Great DiScoverer' are now being upset by
enthusiastic writers and professors engaged in
the scrutiny of documents in private and Off
Cial archives and libraries.
Among the cities that have recently claimed
Columbus as a native son is that of Pontevedra,
in the Spanish Province of Galicia. Here docu-
ments were found dealing with the payments
of money, transfers Of land and the like, cover
ing a period from 1923 to 1928, which were
claimed to indicate that the family of Column
bus Colon, well known there and that
the diScoverer was born within its boundaries
Today, with newly discovered evidence in the
form of documents, it appears probable that
Columbus was not GenoeSe nor a Galician,
and that the expedition from PaloS was not
the first voyage on which he reached the other
side of the Atlantic.
THE pre-eXistcnce of transatlantic naviga-
ton before that of Columbus is suggested
by map found in the Catalonion Atlas of the
year 1875. This shows oceanic islands in their
respective positions between Western Europe and
what was then thought to be Asia as the
Islands of Brazil, Les SelvatgeS and Nam In

The New York Yankees have been unique in a number of respects and for a considerable period of time covered by the achievements of the Ruppert check book, the Barrow sagacity and the Huggins field gen. eralship.
 They are unique now for being the first major league ball club to adopt the graduate policy" in se- lecting Robert J. Shawkey, as the manager for 1030. The Yankees have decided to stick to the Hug g-ns system.
 Bob the Cob" got his first real baseball tutoring under Connie Mack, but he spent the 12 best years of his baseball life under the New York banner, 10 of them under the direction of the late Miller Huggins. Huggins was always known as .'smarG pitcher" He was credited largely with the de- velopment of George Pipgras as one of the leading righthanders in the American League after it seemed that George would never make tf.e grade. Under Huggins, Shawkey was charged with coaching respon- abilities so that it was not strange before he died that Huggins advised Colonel Ruppert to select either Art Fletcher, the old Giant star and now a Yankee coach, or Shawkey.
 There have been few better liked ball players, on or off the field, than Robert J. Shawkey, whose Tapping red shirt sleeves always distinguished him in action.
 Bob the Cob" was a big factor in the 1921-22-23 pennant victories of the Yankees, winning 54 and losing 35 games in those three seasons. He pitched the famous 10-inning tie game in the 1922 worlds series, called off because of darkness"
 Shawkey's last appearance in the worlds series was in 1926 against the Cardinals. Although then past his prime, Bob had shown such effectiveness with his famous curve in two relief performances that Huggins sent him out against Alex ander in the sixth game at the Yankee Stadium. After a bad first inning Shawkey held his own with Alex until the seventh, when the old soupbone began to feel the ef- fleets of damp, chilly day. Old Bob was knocked out and hasn't been pitched much for the Yankees since then, although he was good enough to twirl in B games for Mont treal in the International League in 1928, winning nine and losing nine.
 Three of the big stars in the Uni versity of Pittsburgh's powerful gridiron lineup this year are Tom Parkinson, fullback; Joe Donchess, a rugged end, and Ray Montgomery, guard. They are kingpins in the main plays of Jock Sutherland's outfit that has started out as im- pressively as any eleven in the country.
 Donchess was unquestionably one of the finest ends in the country last year, perhaps the best defensive or interfering end anywhere, al- though he failed to get as many headlines as the wingmen figuring in the forward passing attacks.
 There is considerable rivalry over the merits of these players around the Smoky City, where Carnegie Techs outstanding trio happen to hold down similar positions-John Karcis at fullback, John Dreshar at guard and Ted Rosenzweig On the end.
