SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-Three
airplane expeditions, one of them
headed by Douglas Fairbanks, will
begin race within two months in
an attempt to find fabulously rich
gold deposits in the almost impene-
trable jungles of Brazil, the United
Press was informed reliably today.
Fairbanks has financed and will
head one expedition; John E.
Mitchell, said to be a cousin of
General william Billy Mitchell, is
already in Rio De Janeiro with two
planes for another, and Robert Han
cock, San Francisco aviator, will
lead the third, according to the
United Press informant.
The motion picture actor, with
his wife, Mary Pickford, was in New
York today, repeatedly to purchase
two Sikorsky airplanes for the trip
He employed one pilot, and will hire
three more, two for each plane. Nc
information was available as to
whether Miss Pickford would &C.
company him.
Mitchell Is Ready
Mitchell's expedition has been or
ganized, and he is negotiating with
the government of Brazil for per-
mission to begin the treasure hunt.
Hancock, 43-year- old former au-
tomobile racing driver and expert
pilot, had received backing from a
Pacific coast financier, whose name
he withheld. He has equipped his
own Seven-place Travelair mono
plane for the trip and organized his
crew. with exception of two men.
Although in possession of care
fully guarded information as to the
location of tremendously rich placer
claims, Hancock will be accom-
panied by Jay Wilson, mining engi-
neer, formerly of Alaska, in an eff
fort to locate. the mother lode of
South Americas gold.
Clark Hunt will be copilot and
R. E. Whipple, mechanic. Both
are with Hancock, preparing to start
from the San Francisco airport
shortly for New Orleans, whence
they will ship their plane to Rio
De Janeiro.
Thinks Wealth Is There
Naturally secretive as to the
source of his information, but
stating he had talked with several
persons recently returned from the
jungleS of Goyaz, Hancock was
frank in his expectation that ire
wealth awaits the first, and
possibly all three, of the expedi-
tons.
Hancock's detectives lies in the
state of Goyaz, Is degrees south of
the equator. The country he seeks
is mostly open, with scrubby
arboreal growth.
If successful in finding the first
rich deposits, Hancock, with the
aid of the engineer, plans to search
for source of the gold.

THOMPSON

CLEVELAND, April 14-The
welterWeight championship of the
world will be at stake again here
tonight when Tommy Freeman,
titleholder, and young Jack
Thompson, former champion,
meet for the second time in
seven months for the crown.
Both camps today were pre-,
dieting victories by knockouts.
They were even forecasting a
kayo of the champ by the
colored former champion in the
earlier frames of the 15-round
go. Freeman, however, seemed
to remain the favorite with a
majority of the fans. A gather.
ing of some 10000 persons is
expected.
Tommy wrested the title from
Thompson at League Park here
last September by winning a de
cision after Is rounds of furious
fighting. It was a loudly dis
puted decision although popular
enough with a majority of the
mob.

the interleague competition the

Among the stronger clubs the
Athletics and PlrateS were Lne

season. Both failed to break
even.
The Yankees begged down bad

after a hard, gruelling game in
which the Four Horsemen had

Disguised with themselves, the
boys hurried to their train and as
the train pulled out an inebriated

DR.. HENR|QUEZ
F: STEALS SHOW

Showing a great bundle of
tricks, DR.. Carlos T nrIquez stole
the show last night as the
Strand Theater wrestling promo,
ters put on their second program
of the indoor season.
Henriquez got out of all sorts
of holds and headIOckS served
up by CliviO MaSimO, his Op-
pOnent, and no slOuch when
you come right down to it, in
winning a truly interesting
bout.
The climax came after % min
utes of graphing when a ter
rifle body slam was administered.
And the crowd appreciated the
efforts of the wrestlers immensely
by cheering them long ard loud.
This Henriquez, by the way is
becoming very popular around
Ninth Street way these days. He
is, as many have been heard to
say, one of the best light-heavy-
weight wrestlers to be seen here
i'll many moons.
The feature bout between
George CalZa, one of the. big
men of the mat game, and Bill
Demetral, former Greek cham
piOn, ended in a draw after
% minutes of graphing.
John Grandovitch, big Ital
ian, drew with Harry Manos,
Greek, in a 3O-minute match, as
one of the supplementary attrac-
tions, while Dutch Green snarled
and gnashed himself in and out
of the ring against Jack Harris
from New York, in the opener
This was draw also. Fifteen
minutes was the time.

does not, become one wholly OF
wrists. The wrists always will
"go to work" quickly if you let
them do it. Hence, restrain
their action rather than en-
phasize it. Quick-breaking
wrists are damaging to your
stroke because this puts too
much speed into it. A fast,
snappy action, as follows when
the wrists play, is too difficult
of control. That's why you
seek a blend of the three. Lett
hands, wrists and arms take a
natural course, your whole con-
Germ being to be slow enough to
be smooth and rhythmic. Keep
in mind that the shot does not
require haste because it is a
small one. One little shot is
worth as much to you as any
big one, and sometimes it's
worth lot more.

SIagle didn't know who you

those New York clippings you've
been saving, telling how good
you were, he wouldn't have

Crowley blushed, then laughed
louder than the others. The barb
had hit home and he was big
enough to take it. Deep in his
heart he knew that the -Four
Horsemen were getting a meet of
praise that was in part. due to the
linesmen who opened the holes
and made their sensational play
possible.
Curbing an Ego
There was that other time, too
when the boys themselves took up
the job of curbing an overgroWth
of ego. It's a story Rockne used
to tell often, and one that he
treated on at length in his Col
lier's story.
One of the Horsemen Stalkec
into the manager one day ano
asked for a new pair of stockings
and new belt.
COX" the manager said,
"but turn in your old Ones"
What fOr?" asked the horse
man.
Rip Miller, one of the Sever
Mules, rebuked the manager.
"What do you mean," he said,
"talking that way? Don't you
know who this is? This is one
of the Four HOrsemen."
"NO-O?" said the manager, in
mock awe.
"Ye-es," Miller retOrted, in
even INOEC dWCu GOAACSS
AS the Horsemen walked away
confused, manager and players
stood staring, while the players
nudged one another, murmurin2
reverently:
Hes one of the Four Horse
men,"
That young man was cured then
and there-and Rockne, listening
from his office, sent up a silent
vote of thanks to Rip Miller.
Eventually the young men
learned to take fame in stride
and it was then that they became
truly great. When a football man
can laugh at his own Shortcom
ings, and smile at jokes that ap
ply to himself, he's on the right
road. And the Four HorSemer
learned to do that. Especially
