Had Admiral Jacob Roggeveen, eighteenth
century Dutch explorer. been man of science,
he could have perhaps solved the mystery Of
Easter Island before it became nearly so mys-
terious. When he stepped the island Eas-

after the day. the great stone images not
lying fat and neglected as they now are. He
saw the images in all their towering dignity,
standing on great stone platforms.
But the admirals mind was on other mat
ters than scientific inquiry. His sailors had a
scare when they neared the island and saw
the curious. excited natives that were milling
about the shore. An excited Dutch sailor fired
shot, and there scuff1ing The natives
begged for mercy and brought offerings to the
strangers. The Dutch party spent the rest of
the day on the island in peace, and had look
at the nearby stone images which they prompt

CPANISH English and French ships adven-
- turing in the Pacific touched upon Easter
Island about so years after the Dutch visit,
measured the stone images and gaped at the
size. They made friends with the women and
the Frenchmen returned home singing the
praises Of the grace and beauty of these native
bellies who resembled Europeans in color and
feature. But they neglected to question the
native maidens about their ancestors or the
cultural aspects of the islands life or its
theories about monumental stone art-unfortu-
nately.
By the time the scientific Importance of the
island was attracting attention many changes
had taken place. Slave traders carried off the

fields of Peru. Smallpox and tuberculosis preyed
on the remaining inhabitants reducing the
number from several thousand to several hun

LOCAL GIRLS
TAKE GAME
FROM YUMA

Sherwood IS girls all star team
took the Yuma girls into camp at
Wilson field last night 13 to 6. in
a game that was much more in
teresting than the one-sided score
would indicate.
The local girls were too heavy
with the stick and found Eleanor
Flint IS pitching decidedly to their
liking. Marguerite Hurst, on the
mound for the locals, turned in
good game and had topnotch sup
port.
The Yuma girls did bit of hit
ting themselves, but it was offset
by classy fielding on the part Of
the locals. Yuma also had plenty
of class in the field, the infield
working like clock work in one
inning to retire the last three bat
ters after a run had been scored.
A large crowd was on hand to
watch the performance and saw
snappy exhibition, the game at no
time showing tendency to lag.
1t was announced that the Sher-
wood team will play the National
City girls next Saturday, and a
large crowd is expected out for that
occasion.

Dorothy Round of England today

champion, 6-2. ST. 6-3.
Miss Round succeeded Mrs. Helen

Round played more steady tennis
and nearly decided the issue in
straight sets.
The crowd Of more than 10000

victory following Fred Perry's tri-
umph in the mems singles gave
England both of the two major til
ties for the first time since 1909.
Miss Round played a sound game

HITTING
MARKS GAME.

NEW YORK, July 7. U.P)-The
bat boys had day of it in at
least two games in the National
league yesterday. One at Philadel-
phia and the other at st. Louis
produced a grand total of 70 hits
and sixth runs.
st. Louis used up all but two
of its entire playing list, including
seven pitchers, in vain effort to
beat Cincinnati. The Reds won
1915. They got Is hits, the Cards
16.
Boston and Philadelphia put on
the other half of the act. They
crossed IL hits and 90 runs. The
Braves won, 1913. The mortality
rate on pitchers was not so heavy
each using only four.
The Chicago Cubs took over the
Pittsburgh Pirates 81, and gained
full game on the Giants who
lost to Brooklyn. Guy Bush put on
a one-man show, holding the Cubs
to five hits and driving in three

runs with double in the sixth.
The Giants were repelled in
Brooklyn by Van Lingle Mungo,
ace highlander of easy Stengels
crew, who chalked up his twelfth
win, 11-2, tanning eight, walking
two and allowing only six hits. Sam
Leslie biffed homer in the sixth
with bases full.
The leading Yankees also dropped
a game in the American, losing
to the Washington Senators, 9-8,
while Detroit was winning. The
Senators scored two in the third
to get lead and kept it, des-
pite Lou Gehrig's oath homerun
in the fifth which put him in a
tie with Bob johnson and Jimmy
Fox of the Athletics for the major
league lead. ..--
The Tigers took a rain-check
decision over the ST. Louis Browns,
winning 4-3 when the game was
called in the fifth. Orvin Hadley
held the winners to three hits
during the five innings of play.
Chicago drove the Cleveland In
dians down into fifth place, 7-5.
The Indians filled the bases in the
ninth, scored once but Heving held
them.
Boston held undisputed title to
third place as Cleveland dropped
