IT is unnecessary to remark that that is no
way 10 come upon group OF savages There
is no doubt that they were even more surprised
to see an armed white man standing in their
midst than was to be there The fact that
my little bird gun was not dangerous weapon
could not, OF course, be expected to register on
their minds. I had plunged into their midst
exactly as If had done so Intentionally and
everything pointed to the fact that had not
come friend
I saw all that in an instant but so, I'M
fortunately, did they. Before had time to
say a word, one of the savageS leaped upon
me and tore my gun from my hands. Then I
spoke in WeetotO. but they did not reply Two
Others seized me- and then they began to talk
rapidly among themselves in native tongue
that did not understand. That they were
Andoke Indians gradually became obvious but
I knew no word Of their language, and they
spoke nothing else
Had I plunged unceremoniously into the
midst of similar group of Weetotos it Is not
unlikely that some one of them would have
recognized me as the medico at Ell Encanto
and they probably would have treated me well
enough. But these Andokes knew nothing of
medicOS. They merely knew that I was a
white man-that white men had been guilty
of countless horrible crimes all through the
fourteen thousand square gniles of the Putu-
mayo district-and that f.. once, white man

when a man wandered into my Office
and paid me two pounds in gold for
my treatment. He told me that he
had come from the rlinher regions
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-02-09

that even the men about me could not ignore
In my growing dstaSte for these men I had
long been wandering OF in the bush alone,
armed only with q 20-gauge shotgun with
which to collect birds. On one of these ex-
cursions had been away from the station for
three days, stopping at Indian hutS for the
night The Indians, despite their reasons for
fearing and hating white men, seemed friendly
enough with me. Perhaps had made a good
impression among them as a result of the
numerous times had treated sick and wounded
Indians. But whatever the reason, they in
variabIy welcomed me, and made me as COM
Portable as they could.
The Indians in the Putumayo were for the
most part, WeetOtos, and these were the ones
who were being so widely and terribly exploited
by the rubber company. There were, however,
other bandS from time to time, who were to
be found in the country, although knowing
what they did Of the brutality of the white men,
none OF them could properly be considered as
friendly. A few of these were forced to collect
rubber. too, but their numbers were not great.
However, the Weetotos were absolutely sub
jugated. and q white man alone was not in anv
great danger from them, especially when, as in
my case. he had not been guilty of any of the
numerous crimes from which these unfortunates
suffered
Consequently, was not even thinking of dam
ger when, the third day after leaving Ell En-
canto came to a little stream that flowed be-
tween steep banks or 10 feet high. To get
across the miniature ocean, saw that it was
necessary for me to run down my side leap the
stream, and run fast as could up the other
bank, letting my momentum assist me to reach
the bushes on the farther side. Having decided
on that method of crossing. proceeded to fol-
low 1t, and 10 seconds later was standing at
the top Of the farther bank among the bushes
staring in surprise at an Indian camp FIRE that
was now only bed OF Goals
had seen nothing of it before I had crossed
the stream. Nor had I seen a sign of the six
naked Indians who squatted about the fire and
seemed intent on watching an earthenware pot
in which some fish were being boiled. They
had built their fire back from the edge of the
stream bank and the screen of bushes had
utterly hidden all this from me until I had
burst through the leaves and stopped within
six feet of them.

YANKEES LEAVE
FOR WEST

NEW YORK, July 11.-Bowed
down like blown grain, six games
back of the AS and seven to the
rear of the onruShing Senators,
the broken Yankees left today
for three weeks tour in the
West which ultimately may de-
termine if the Shawkeymen are
a first division club, let alone
near champions.
Like motherless children with
out the power and inspiration of
Babe Ruth, the Yanks practically
suffered a technical kayo yester-
day at the hands Of the worlds
champions, who rang up a 9.to-1
victory In a skirmish that rem.
dered the Yankees almost pitiful.
Unfortunately there was no rule
whereby the umpires could call
halt and such stars Of the bat
as Gehrig, Lazerri, Combs, Rice
and Dickey were forced to stag
ger through to the bitter end.
All these 800 hitters folded up
like envelopes before the offer

INDIAN: mailman
DEBUTS HERE

Chief White Feather, the full
blooded Sioux Indian who comes
to town Tuesday night to wrestle
Paul Jones at the Washington
Auditorium, will be the first Of
the original Americans" to make
his bow in the nations capital
as a heavyweight grappler.
Chief White Feather, packing
all the color Ct the vanishing
tribes, is said to be a first-rate
performer. Promoter Joe Turner
feels that the Indian grappler
will go over with smash here.
Not only will this match
prove appealing to local
wrestling fans, but Promoter
Turner has also scheduled
two other bouts that look at
tractive. The MASKED Mar
VEL" who has gained a host
of friends here by his fine
work, will take on Rudy
Johnson, while Frank Bruno
wicz, Polish champion, will
meet Milo SteinbOrn, the
strong German, in the fea-
ture. Turner is also seeking
an opponent for George
Calza, the stOut-hearted
Italian.
Wrestling is gaining in popu-
larity here as attested by the in
creasing crowds that attend the
weekly shows. Unusual is the
number of women who flock to
the Auditorium every Tuesday
night for the wrestling matches,
despite the fact that the fair
sex, when accompanied by escorts,
are admitted free. Promoter
Turner is putting on shows that
meet the sanction of local sports
fans.
Reserved seats for the show
Tuesday night can be obtained at
Goldie Ahearn's, Ninth and E
Streets Northwest, French'S Sports
Store, 721 Fourteenth st. N. w.
and A. G. Spalding's and Bros.
1888 G st. N. w. The first
match Tuesday night at the
auditorium will be called at $3.50
o'clock.

ANGLER SNAGS
MIGHTY BASS

Evidently the fishing slogan
for this week is ION to Wacha-
preague!" for from that Atlantic
fishing mecca comes thrilling re-
ports Of epic catches and fish
whose sizes are reminiscent of
those which usually get away.
One party, an elderly and en-
thusiastic disciple of the pisca-
torial sport, broadcaSts rosy re-
ports of his ocean catches. He
shared 8 channel bass, one a
mammoth fellow, SIS lbs. in weight,
4 feet 8 inches long, the second
largest caught this season. If
you doubt it, out comes photo
graphs of the captor holding the
giant captive and the size is
proven. A beauty too. Along
with these 8 bass, he trapped 48
large king fish, a delectable dish
for the most fastidiouS gourmet.
Trout are coming back, run
ming from two to three pounds
and game as game can be. They
are being pulled out from 8 to 20
a day.
So Wachapreague is the
fisherman'S goal, and plenty
of reward awaits honest ef-
forts.
The blue fish are gone. Deep
trolling a distance out in the
ocean will bring up a few, but
nothing to grow delirious over.
They will be back the latter part
of August.
Many nice things are being re-
ported along bay points, and
around the Patuxent Rivers
mouth. Hardheads and spots are
being slaughtered around Bloody
Point Light.
Solomons Island, Herring Bay
and CedarhurSt are optimistic.
Two black drums were caught at
SolomonS Island, one weighing
over so pounds. Shoulder meat
on drums is very delicious. .

Springs, Md, on the Potomac,

Out at the Columbia Country
Club the patient and canny Fred
Mcleod has a group Of young
players under his tutelage who
are just about as promising q
lot of golfers as there is in Wash
ington.
For the most part these young
sters have been at the game only
two or three years, yet each OF
them already have given indica-
tions of approaching stardom. AS
vet none has captured any sig
nificant or outstanding tourna-
mentS. But each and every one
is a dangerous menace in any
tournament in which he is en-
tered and it won't be long until
one of the quarter of his star
pupils breaks the ice.
The four whom Mcleod
holds in highest esteem among
his class are Everett EynOn,
Johnny Owens, Jack Powell
and Tommy Bones, jr. Nc
LeOd sees a brilliant future
for each of them, though he
wouldn't go so far az to say he
thought there might be an +
other Roland Mackenzie
among them.
Eynon has been the scoring star
of this group this summer, but all
of them are usually in the middle
seventies. Eynon recently went
around Columbia in a SO, and two
days later followed it up with a
par 70. Shooting of this kind is
bound to pay off dividends, and,
it is a fair sample Of the kind Of
playing that not only he but also
Owens, Powell and Bones are Ca
pable of.
OF course, this score of Eynon's
was made over his own familiar
course. but even so it is worth
more than passing comment and
tabulation for future expectation.
Further proof of the ability of the
entire quartet is furnished by the
fact all qualified in the cham
pionship flight in the recent Co
lumbia invitation tournament, in
which Bones and Powell advanced
as far as the quarter finals.
Mcleod holds to the Opin- .
ion that greater experience in 81
tournament play, for all are .
equipped with sound game,
will enable these lads to soon +"
start crashing the heights &,
that men like Miller B. Ste :
vinSOn and Harry G. Pitt have s
mOnOpOlized locally in recent
years.
The genial Freddie, who thinks
score of 900 will win all the
money at Interlachen in the U. S.
Open, figures that one of the pro.
feSSionalS has an excellent chance
of displacing Bobby Jones as
champion. Before the first-round, !,
scores were in, Mcleod went on
record to this effect. He likes the
chances of Hagen, Mac Smith,
Leo Diegel or Gene SaraZen TO
cop the crown best, though he also
thinks DenSmore Shute and Hor-
ton Smith are excellent posi-
bilitieS.
approximately so Washington
golfers are over at Sherwood For
est today, taking part in the
clubs fifth annual invitational
tourn a ment. Only qualifying
rounds are played today, with two
match play rounds to follow both
tomorrow and Sunday.
Notices have been posted in
various local clubs of 28-day
golfing trip, starting October 5, to
England, Scotland and France,
during which many of the famous.
courses in these countries will be
visited. -

NINE Of TEAM
IN PREVIOUS
CLASSICS
Mcleod Develops Promising Quartet of Goers Columbia
BY JOE HOLMAN

BY JOE HOLMAN
EN- ROUTE DETROIT, July IL
If the 1880 Griffmen succeed in
their bid for an American League
pennant they cannot claim mex
perience as a world series alibi.
An official check-up shows that
nine players, on Walter Johnson's
preSent-day combination have par.
ticipated in blue ribbon events.
OF that number no fewer than
six represented pennant-winning
Washington club entries.
Catcher Herold Muddy" Ruel,
Pitcher Fred Marberry, OsSsc
Bluege, Joe Judge and Outflelder
Sammy Rice sll held forth with
the 1924-1925 teams. Second Base
man Buddy Myer, then short
stop, broke into the 1925 series
against Pittsburgh.
Catcher Rov Spencer and Short
stop Joe Cronin decorated the
bench when the Pirates registered
in 1925. And, although still a
negative quantity, Spencer also
was connected with the 1927
Bucs. Sad Sam Jones gained
distinction as a money pitcher
both with the Red Sox and
Yankees.
Therefore it can be seen
that directly or indirectly,
the Washington clubs catch
ing staff and infield, in their
entirety, have been through
the grind.
When the Griffs won their
title in 1924 Roger Peckinpaugh,
an experienced series product,
was their mainstay. How differ
ent a 1880 presentation would be
from the standpoint Of stage
fright at least.
The Griffmen were scheduled to
rest today following their arrival
In Detroit at 1880 o'clock. To-
morrow, however, they are to open
a 2O-game invasion Of the West
when they take on Bucky Harris
Tigers in a double-header.
Two bargain bills in Cleveland
and another in Chicago are to
augment four-day visits listed
alternately with the Tigers, In
Clians, Browns and White Sox.
Walter Johnson'S pace-Setters
failed to attain a 500 pace during
their initial venture westward, but
recently swamped intersectional
opposition in their own back yard.
This swing should go far
toward testing the mettle Of
the Griffmen. AS and
- Yankees, who are closely
punched at present.
General Alvin Crowder and
Fred Marberry will be in the
Washington Clubs slab nomina-
tions tomorrow when the Jungle
Cats are encountered in a dual
stand at Navin Park.
One of Trainer Mike Martins
first acts upon reaching Detroit
today will be to communicate
with Outfielder Heine Ma1ush,
who returned to his home town
Wednesday night after pulling a
muscle in his left leg. Martin
hopes to have Manush in play
Ing condition shortly.
Ossie Bluege drove over four
runs and Bump Hadley pitched
SEVENTH ball when the Griffs
punished Heine Wagner'S Red SoX
in the final of their five-game
yesterday, to 2. Danny
MNcFayden made a fight of it
uhS the ninth, when the Wash
ington Club counted four times.
The 9Ox were leading, 2 to
/, when Bluege pOled home
run over the ScOrebOard
with Sam West on to assure
victory in the fourth.
Bluege's two-bagger sent over
another pair in the ninth, while
Bump Hadley also singled over
two pals before calling it quits.
Hadley was in several ugly
early period spots, but always
pitched out of difficulty.
