SCIENTISTS SEEK
 MANKIND'S CRADLE
Will Defy Fierce South American
 Tribes in Quest

Syracuse, \. N., Oct. 31-The widest tribe of savagcs in existence in the new world will be the object O.. study this winter by q group oi Syracuse University scientists, who hope. by observing the Motilone h. tive haunts. to learn fact that will either upset or confirm new scier' tific theories of world wide inpor- tancc.
 The chief question is whether South America was the cradle of the human race.
 The tribe i'll question, he Motione group, ,nhabits the wild Ccrdilla mountain range of Ven ezula and Colombia, Except for occasional aerial observation trips, made within the last two or three years. white men have neve:' penetrated into their hunting grounds The Motilones live to- day precisely as they did bcfors white men ever saw South America.
 Thus the university scientists who go to study them will find a rich field for research-a rich one, but dangerous one, as the Moti- lcnes are extremely war-like and lave a way of filling inquisitivc strangers with arrows and drying their detached heads in the smoke ot jungle camp fires.
 Cradle of Mankind?
 The principal theory in which the expedition is interested is the new. radically different one that South America, and not Asia, was the real cradle of mankind.
 To sustain this theory, 1t IS pointed out that geologically South America is as old as any continent: and that the prehistoric island bridge" across the Pacific, by which Asiatic tribes arc supposed to hav0 crossed to people the two American continents, might just as well have been an cast -to-west thoroughfare, carrying aboriginal tribes from America to people in Asia.
 To date, however, not enough is known about primitive man and primitive animal life in South America to enable scientists to dis cuss this theory satisfactorily.

BABE INSISTS
PITCHING
|SWEAK
BY BABE RUTH

NEW YORK, June 3.-That
previous story of mine about the
lively ball sort of started the boys
talking, I guess. 1t certainly
started them writing, anyhow,
and some of the names they have
called me wouldn't do for a Sun
day newspaper.
But I'm staying by my guns.
I'm afraid some of the boys got
me a little wrong on that story.
didn't say that the ball wasn't
livelier than it used to be. In
fact, / said that it was. There's
no question but that the baseball
that is used today is more lively
and will go further when it is hit
than the ball that was in use
five or ten years ago. 1t would
be foolish to say otherwise.
But I still insist that that
same lively ball is being used
for a lot of alibi stuff by
pitchers who don't know how
to pitch and won't learn.
When pitchers carry hitters to
q three-to-two or three-to-one
count all the time and then have
a ball slammed out of the park
after they lay it down the middle,
you can't blame the lively ball.
That's just naturally bad pitching
in my book, and always will be.
Some of my friends, IN com
menting on that last story ask
me what I could do to improve
pitching. First, I'd have the
pitchers get control. Once a
pitcher gets so he can put that
ball where he wants it; once he
is able to keep ahead of the hit
ter a lot of the liveliness eoeS
right out of it. Another thing
thing that would help would be
to leave balls in the game little
longer. and not toss them out
every time a ball gets little
dirty spot on it. or little rough
place.
Cy Young. Ed Walsh. Walter
johnson, Rube Waddell. Chrlsty
Mathewson and those fellows
were great pitchers-buG if they
were to come back today and
have to pitch the white. smooth
hard balls that pitchers have to
use now, they'd be hit lot more
than they were. And l admit it.
AS I said before I'm not arguing
that the ball isn't lively. But I
would like to see pitchers do a
little more pitching and little
less alibing.
So far as the fans are con-
Cerned l think they like the ball
as it is today,
Certainly they've been turn
ing out to watch bail games.
The attendance thus far this
season, I understand. Is larger
than it has been for yaars. And
so far as the Yankees are con-
cerned, at least, don't see any.
one walking out Of the sands in
disgust because someone MUS a
ball out of the park.
Anyhow that's my idea and
Pm staying with it. I've
written what / think and
what 1 believe. I'm staying
with those ideas.
However, whatever is to be
done, if anything at all, rests with
the league. If they want to
deaden the ball or if they want
us to go out there and play with
pumpkins or yarn balls or spongeS,
I'll take my chances with those,
too. And if they want to
turn the ball into bullets, why
that's alright. The big thing is
keeping baseballs going and hold
ing the interest of the fans. AS
long as we're able to do that /
guess the ball doesn't make much
difference one way or another.
