PHILS TO MAKE BID

Baker Has Everything Hurl- CTS Can Deliver to
 Opponents

7 PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 4. = The Phillies, who broke National League records last year by making the largest number of total bases, the most long hits, and topped all other lteams in the league for home runs, are expected to cut a figure in the coming pennant race.
 T do not say we have a pennant winner said President William F. Baker of the Phillies, but I do believe we have a pennant con- tender"
 Lacked HurIers
 The team, backed by heavy hit ters and nifty infield, needed only capable pitchers last season to force their way up among the teams fighting for the lead The team will go south this month under the leadership of Burt Shotten with no fewer than four teen pitchers, out of which he hopes to get winning crew for the pennant campaign Scouts dug up Earl Collard, a talented twirler from Shreveport, who won ten and lost two games m 1929; Chet Nichols of Montreal, with a record of sixteen and twelve, and Bryan Speece, submarine bail specialist from Indianapolis.
 Also the best of last years staff will be re-enforced by that vet eran of many campaigns, Grover Cleveland Alexander, who comes back to the Phils from the St. Louis Cardinals through a trade.
 Aleck may not win a majority of his games, but he is expected to serve as an experienced relief twirl- Ter in the pinches.
 Other newcomers on the pitching staff are Harold Miller, who was 8 free agent last year, and John Mill ligan of Erie, Pa.
 Some Good Holdovers
 iAS@ IitOlC cl J1lC lCB Ol last year, Louis Koupal, Ray Benge, Phil Collins, Harold Elliott, Lester Sweetland and Claude Willoughby Sam Daley and Harry Smythe, who joined the Phils late last year, will go South with the team.
 The death of Walter Lerian, lead ing catcher in the National League last year, deprived the Phils of an excellent player, but three other will be on hand to help Virgil Davis, a first class receiver, 1 who will get chance to show his ability.
 These catchers are Harry Mo Curdy, formerly of the White Sox, procured from Toledo Al Cooper from Birmingham and George Susce, who was with the Phillies last season.
 The 1929 infield is intact and the same wrecking crew of fence bust CTS as last year will be in the out field.

The quaint old Amel:can custom Of cracking Worlds records in in- dcor track and field competition soon will enjoy it's annual revival. This curious business has been go- ing on for many years. It is good ballyhoo and it makes good winter headline material, if Joe Klotz over the 85-yard high hurdles diag- cnally in such-and-such a record time, even though the performance seldcm, if ever, will find it's way into the books and even though, anyway, it is not worlds record in the sense that it can get inter national recognition.
 It has been a jolly habit to con- slider these strictly native perform ances as worlds records because no sustained indoor track compa- tition takes place in any other country. The reasoning is that since they cannot, therefore, be beaten they must be the best.
 In one exciting indoor campaign recall a total of 123 Worlds record performances were made, most of them in and around New York. Paavo Nurmi contributed some very legitimate records to this 1925 assortment, among them a two-mile mark of 8:53 Is that represents one of the greatest running efforts of all time, indoors or out, upstairs or down. Yet bare ly a dozen of all the marks made eventually found their way to the record books and these for the most part came under the head of noteworthy performance" so designated to segregate achieve ments at distances or in events other than those of international standard

Earliest Hawaiian Map
Discovered in England

The first recorded map Of the Ha-
waiian islands has been brought to
light in England, identified authori-
tatively and acquired for the Archives
of Hawaii, a territorial institution,
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
This map was drawn by Thomas Ed
gar, master of the sailing ship Discov-
cry, which accompanied the Resolu-
ton, flagship Of the famous James
Cook, on the explorers voyage to Ha-
wall. Cook brought his ships to an
Choir at Waimea, island Of Kauai. in
January, 177S, and about this time the
map was made by Edgar. The log Of
the Discovery. nearly all written by
Edgar, was recently identified in Eng
land, and was accompanied by various
maps and drawings.
Edgar, as well as Cook, drew into
his maps the details Of only those por-
lions of land that were seen, indicat-
ing other supposed parts by hazy out
lines. The Hawaiians had no maps
when the first white man came. They
had no written language, yet were re-
markably skilled mariners, traversing
thousands of miles of open sea In their
large canoes, steering by the stars,
and with extraordinary knowledge Of
practical navigation.

Colossal Frozen Falls
Uneoualed for Beauty

Four thousand feet high and mile
wide-a solid mass of ice scintillating
and cleaning with a myriad lights
the Hochstetter ice falls in the Tas-
man area of the southern Alps are
one of natures most marvellous sights.
They fall from the Grand plateau and
the Linda glacier and swell the vol
ume of the mighty Tasman glacier
three-quarters of a mile below. The
eye OF man has beheld no scene which
is the peer of these colossal falls.
Plunging precipitately down the rug
ged slopes of mountain more than
$4,000 feet in height, with a huge
black rock In their midst as the only
contrast to their dazzling purity, the
falls are justly famed as natures su-
preme gift to beauty-loving world.
One glimpse of such transcendent
loveliness provides the .awed observer
with a lifetime of vivid recollections.
There Is every truth in the assertion
that neither pen nor camera can con-
vey an adequate appreciation Of the
glory of these falls, but in the minds
of many people now departed over
the seven seas they will ever remain
an indelible and haunting memory

No Freedom of Worship
Under Peter Stuyvesan

Early in his administration Peter
Stuyvesant issued a proclamation for
bidding the people to assemble for any
religious service other than that Of
the Dutch Reformed church, which
was the established church in the fort,
writes P. B. Cole in the New York
World, in telling "The Story Of New
York"
This law was vigorously enforced.
Stuyvesant banished from the colony
a Lutheran minister who had come
from Holland to minister to the large
number of Lutherans in the colony
and even imprisoned Lutheran par
ents who failed to have their children
baptized in the Dutch Reformed
church.
Stuyvesant's iron hand fell heaviest,
however, upon the Quakers, large
number of whom had settled on Long
Island, in Hampstead. In this settle
ment was Robert Hodgson, who began
conducting Quaker meetings among
his townfolk. Stuyvesant hailed him
to New Amsterdam, and without al
lowing Hodgson to speak in his own
defense, sentenced him to two years
hard labor or a fine Of 500 guilders.

Bees and Their Owners

Entomologists hold that there is
nothing to the common notion that
honey-bees recognize the beekeeper
and distinguish him from other indi-
viduals. Although some bees Matched
late in the fall survive the winter. the
average life of a worker bee during
the active honey season is only about
six weeks, two Of which are spent In
the hive. It is not likely that bee
keeper would examine hive frequent
" enough to be recognized by crea-
lures with such short lives even II
they had the ability to distinguish be-
tween different human beings. Good
beekeepers do not provoke bees so
much as others do because they are
familiar with their habits and know
how to handle them.-Pathhnder
