Chicago.-News of recent discov-
cries of great aqueduct, temples,
and ancient records were brought
home to Chicago by DR.. James Hen
ry Breasted, who has just returned
after spending several months in the
Near East visiting the twelve ex-
petitions Of the Oriental institute of
the University of Chicago. The trip
was the first that Doctor Breasted,
director of the Oriental institute,
had made to the Near East in three
years and a half.
One of the most important of the
recent discoveries was that of
section of a 30-mile aqueduct built
by Sennacherib, king of Assyria
about 705 B. c. Dr. Thorkild Jacob
sen, who came to the institute on
Swedish fellowship, and is now with
DR.. Henri Frankfort, field director
of the Iraq expedition, made the dis
covery.
Doctor Jacobsen was cut in the
country when he noticed a native
sitting on row of blocks, some of
which bore the inscription of Sen
nacherib," Doctor Breasted said
ION inquiry, he found that the
blocks had come from nearby, and
Doctor Jacobsen, following the clew,
found what he reported to be a
bridge over a river. We received
concession to investigate, and found
that the bridge was a section of
great stone aqueduct. This section.
1000 feet long, and so feet wide,
magnifcently built, carried the wa
ter over river. 1t is supported on
pointed arches, and their use in this
fashion is the earliest known.

dish mountains to Nineveh, and
among other uses watered that city's
famous gardens. Each pier contains
building inscription of Sennache-
rib. and when translated, it was
found that he called the aqueduct
'SeEnacherib's channel
The annals of Sennacherib give
an account of this channel which
hitherto had not been Identified, and
also give the names of a whole Sc
ries of villages past which it went
In one of the villages near the route
of the aqueduct, Doctor Frankfort
found a purely oral tradition that
these ruins had brought water for
the gardens of Nineveh. The tradi
ton has the names of the villages
as Sennacherib listed them, al
though the names haye long since
changed. That tradition had been
passed down by word of mouth for
1900 years"
Another discovery TO which Doc
tor Breasted referred as representa-
tive of the more important recent
finds was that of Gordon Loud who

United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, July 19.-If all the
used by sports writer's
in describing the various cham.
pions were stretched end to end
the chain would double the route
followed by Wiley Post.
Think of the superlatives wasted
on Paavo Nurmi When he ran his
mile in something better than 4:l0
the scribes went haywire, calling it
the feat of the century and assert
ing that centuries would pass be-
fore it would be bettered. Yet, less
than 10 years from the time Nur-
mi. stop watch in hand, made his
epoch run, youngster from New
Zealand bettered his time by nearly
four seconds.
Helene Madison is another good
example. Last year when the Seat
tie girl tossed aside her tank suit
for the finery of Hollywood's lots,
the swimming experts declared that
not for another century or more,
would we see her equal; that the
marks the Seattle girl wrote in the
books would stand and stand and
stand.
But will they? Personally we have
our doubts. They're liable to start
falling when a girl named Lenore
Right of Homestead, Pa, hits the
water in the women's national
swimming championships tomorrow
Miss Kight has the class to ap-
proach Miss Madison's ties. Whe-
/ ther she will do it this year or the
next is a question. Her coach, Jack
Scarry, is of the opinion that Miss
Kight needs another year or so to
/ reach her peak.
You see,' Scarry said, "Lenore
has her heart SCI on the 1896 Olym-
pics. Victory in the international
games is her aim. So, you see, she's
not trying to come along too fast.
She wants to reach a crescendo, so
To speak, in 1886. Yet wouldn't be
at all surprised to see her break a
couple of Madison's marks this
week"
Miss Kight has got the stuff
There's no doubt about that, as she
proved in the 400 meter final al
Los Angeles last summer In that
race 4Iiss Right outswam Miss Mad
ison On all the straightaways but
was beaten by the Seattle girls
kick at turns. When they reached
point three feet from the finish
line they were all even, but Miss
Madison's arms were longer and she
won.
One year ago Miss Right, who
won't be 81 for several months
lacked stamina. Since that day she
has added pounds IN weight anc
ergs. let us say, in muscle. Who
knows but that her turns-thost
desperate thrashes against the side
walls-will send her hurting tc
times which will oyershadow those
OF Miss Madison?

LOCALS MEET
WHITTIER NINE

Championship honors are at
stake in the game to be played to-
night between the local All-Stars
and the classy team from Whittier.
These two teams have been playing
stellar ball all season and when
they meet nothing but real ball
game can be expected.
From advance dope it looks as
though tonights game will develop
into a pitching duel between Wat
son and Hurst. The former has
been going at top speed in his
league, setting down the opposition
in monotonous regularity. Hurst's
work is too we'll known here to say
much about it now, and fans pre-
dict a real battle and tight score
unless the unexpected happens and
one or other of these star slabmen
does the balloon act.

NEW YORK, July 49, = Dixie
Walker. No. 2, choosing climactic
game in which the New York YAM
KEGS regained undisputed command
of the American league lead, proved
TO the baseball world today that
he has followed in his fathers
footsteps and mounted to big league
stardom.
To the music of young Walkers
bat, the world champions won their
ninth straight victory yesterday by
trouncing Chicago, 9 TO 4, while the
faltering Washington Senator's
dropped out of a top tie by bowling
to ST. Louis. 1t was the first time
since June 81 that the Yanks held
the lead alone.
Manager Joe Mccarthy seemed
as pleased last night at Outfielder
Walkers performance as at the re-
newed supremacy Of the Yanks.
pWalker certainly proved That
he's a genuine big timer" he said.
You can rank him now among
our great ball players"
Since replacing Earle Combs in
the outfield on June 20, Young
Walker came along amazingly for
rookie. This rangy, six-footer from
Birmingham displayed spirit that
enables him to get under difficult
flies and the whip of his throwing
arm is impressive. An indication of
his hitting ability was given last
season when he batted .351 for
Newark of the International league.
