 the oldest structures of the British government in the new world. It was the dull, succeed building called the Kings House." in Spanishtown, Jamaica.
 From 1883, or perhaps earlier, the governor of Jamaica ruled the West Indian colony from struc- ture built for him with royal funds. At first it was a crude shelter "as common as the high- way" as one of it's early residents described it. But in l700 it was enlarged, and in 1761 it was en- tirely rebuilt at a cost of $15O,. 900. a lavish sum for that time. It was a large building, two sto. ries high, facing a square on which also stood the House of As- sembly, the Guard House, and other public buildings.O
 For 100 years, this was the res. idence of the governor of Jamai- ca. Then the government seat was moved to Kingston, across the bay, and since then, until its

1876, and the eager fellows learned
so fast that southpaw today can

handler nine times out Of 10. Right
handlers are better at history and
geography, but in Greek, calculus,
and the care and feeding Of the

the edge to the southpaws.
Here are some important facts
about left-handed pitchers, culled
by a trained fieldworker:
(a). Slim Sallee never threw to
first base when there was a runner
there. Max Carey noticed this,
and used to steal Sims chirt.

Why, there amt snake in the
whole Of Borneo!' he said.
This snake was from cut Of
town." argued the left-hander.
How did you know that?' said
the manager.
II could tell by his license
plates" said the pitcher, and they
let it go at that.
You mention the case of Carl
Hubbell, Inquisitive. Hubbell has
something very unusual, wnat We
call an ambidextrous cardiac con-
dition. There is right blood
in him somewhere, and the chances
are that it came over on the May
flower, bottled in bond. America
was inhabited largely by left-hand-

you probably know. 1t was hard

herded like cattle and placed in
reservations. When you take
southpaw today, you still have to
take him with reservations. This
is known as the household consoli-
dation law, or squatters' rights.
