This Wonderful Vessel Has Made History
During Three Centuries
She marked the beginning and the end of Englands
monstrous penal system.
beside which even the terrible stories Of the Black
Hole of Calcutta and the Spanish Inquisition pale
into insignifcance.
She is the Oldest ship in the world and the only convict
shin left afIoat of that dreadful "F1eet Of Ocean
Hels" which sailed the Seven Seas in 1890 A. d.
She is unchanged after all these years. nothing being
omitted but her human freight and their suffering
from the crueities and barbarities practlced upon
them.
Aboard her are shown, in their original state all
the airless dungeons and condemned cells, the whip
ping post, the manacles, the branding rons the
punishment balls the leaden-tipped cato mine tails,
the coffin bath and the other fendsh inventions Of
mans brutality to his fellow man.
From keel to topmast she cries aloud the greatest les
son the world has ever known in the history OF
human progress.
The Convict Ship Success is the Greatest and Most
Extraordinary Exhibition That Ever Visited America.

There is no country where
sports are so carefully scrutinized
as in Great Britain. While there
is talk Of over-emphasis in Amer
lea whereas John Bull is supposed
to take all his sport lightly, I find
the interest in England quite as
keen as in America, at least so
far as golf is concerned.
For sometime now the British
have been selecting its Walker
Cup match representatives which
will play Bobby Jones American
team at st. Andrews in May.
There has been much discussion
in the British newspapers ana
golfing journals over the seiec'
tionS.
surely the committee stopped
all comment that a golfer must
be an oxford or Cambridge grad
uate in order to represent Eng
land in golf when John Nelson
smith, of Earlsferry, was named
as a regular Walker Cup player.
He is a joiner employed by a
builder at EarlSferry. He has
merely passed through oxford and
Cambridge probably in q third
class carriage on the Midland
railway. =.
There can be no charge made
that the Royal and Ancient has
been snobbish. William Sutton,

pens that right now there's bet

more evenly matched.
I thought before the season
started that the American League
race would be close. / still
think so. But If we can tell
anything from this first few
weeks Of play the National
League race will be more than
close--it will be a riot.
And that's partly because Of
early disappointments and part
" because Of early surprises. The
Cubs, whom every one picked to

that the Cub pitchers have been

they'll come around little later.

AS for the Giants. Well the
way they've come through AFTER
q bad spring start just shows how
a bail club can change overnight.
I think what happened to- the
Giants is that they've suddenly
found out that they could win
ball games. This spring they
figured they couldn't win so they
let down. Then when the season
opened they got off OH the right
foot and won several in a row.
"Aha." they said. to themselves.
How long has this been going
on. Why this Is easy" And
they proceeded to play with that
idea in mind. And take It. from
me, q team that has that idea is
the toughest team in the world
to lick.
Another National League club
that like is the Cardinals. On
paper Gabby Street don't seem
to have much. His pitchers are
a bit weak. his outfield is only a
little above average, and his in
field is uncertain. But out there
on the ball field those Cardinals
are likely to be tough. And the
reason is that they're fighting
every minute. Kid all you please
about the old college try, but I'd
rather have an average ball club
that will fight than o team of
stars who are either too lazy or
too bored to bear down in every
game.
81 notice that o lot Of the
boys are picking Brooklyn to
finish pretty well up this year.
And I hope they're right.
There's no man In baseball
that I'd rather see make . 10
Of Il than Uncle Robbie.
I guess Robbie is about as
popular with other baseball men
as any man who ever wore q

the Dodgers can make that first
division. Their infield is too
spotty, and defensively that out.
field isn't too hot either. They've
got some punch and they've got
q couple of fine pitchers-but
you can't win pennants with two
home-run Sluggers and two. good
pitchers. 1t takes more than
that.
still like Cincinnati. Dan
Howley is a wizard at getting the
most out of his men, and I figure
that Heilman and MeuSel Will
give the Reds the added punch
they need to make a real tight
Of it. However. Dan Howley, be-
ing q new manager is in the mid
die Of building up q strong team,
and therefore 1t would really be
expecting too much Of him TO win
a pennant the first year. But
lust the same they'll be right
in their fighting. and remember.
ing what Howley did with the st.
Louis Browns, anything is likely
to happen at Concinnati.

Death Fear Drives Mexican Tribe
From Pillar to Post Seeking Peace

The tribe has no permanent abode,
for horror of death keeps them con-
tinuously ION the road" says Prof.
Aguirre. When a member of the tribe
dies the body is buried as quickly as
possible and the people, wailing and
shouting, abandon crops and houses
and flee headlong until nightfall.
When darkness descends they estab-
lish a new community. They believe
that the sun disappears as sign for
them to remain where they are. But
when another death occurs they desert
the little town without the least COM
Function, as it Is their firm conviction
that by moving they will outrun death.
Dread of death is the predominating
trait of these people.
The ritual of their priests Is largely
concerned with driving away the
demon of death. These Indians are
sun worshipers. yet they venerate q
number of Catholic saints. The women
are all named after saints, and they are
very proud Of these names.

MEXICO CITY-A people who are

fear of death and whose religion is a
quaint mixture of remnants of teach
ings by sixteenth century Spanish mis-
sionaries and age-old paganism have
been studied in the mountainous re-
glons OF Nayarit, smallest and youngest
OF Mexican states. These people differ
radically from other North American
Indians. They bear a faint physical
resemblance to Arabs, and an Arabic
influence is found in their customs.
They are of two tribes. The larger is
called Huicholes and the smaller Coras.
The latter was conquered by and con-
solidated with the former

King of England Has

The most interesting is a clock only
10 inches high which Henry VIII gave
to Anne Boleyn on their wedding morn.
True lovers knots are engraved on the
weights.
Horace Walpole, the statesman, used
to own this clock and after his death
it was purchased by Qleen Victoria.
Buckingham Palace has about 100
clocks. George III paid $4,000 for the
beautiful Cumming clock in Bucking-
ham Palace. A strange feature about
the Sandringham clocks Is that those
