were monsters. Following the fall of the first man the earth shrank from the cold and the waters flowed over them submerging the highest peaks for forty sleeps. Everything that possessed warm blood perished. The whale sur vived because he was half fish and half animal. It was the only monster of the old days that es- capped annihilation. When the waters subsided Toolooahk flew over the land. In all their leg ends the crow is a bird of ill omen and to this day the native has great respect for his powers of evil. Toolookahk saw small Eskimo on the shore and picked him up in his beak. He nursed him back to life and health. When the child became lonesome for his parents Toolookahk flew away and brought back a girl for a playmate. From this beginning the Eskimos have multiplied un- til they have become most pow erful. But man in physical form has been barred from life etern- al, and is forced to battle with the clements for sustenance.
 Since the days of the great flood an undying hatred has ex- isted between the coast Eskimos and the hill tribes. The coast In nuits claim that the latter could have prevented the catastrophe, but instead invoked the moon to destroy them.
 The Eskimos claim that in tim es far back their country was warm and verdant and that ice and snow were unknown. Their forefathers had many wives and meat, and loitered in the sun throughout the year. Now the sun hides from them to remind them of their sins, and only comes back in the summer to give the birds and the animals an oppor- tuniyt to raise their young.

 After the Creator had gone, Toolookahk CIV over the land and dropped Tunruk, the evil spirit from his beak. Tunruk, like the serpent in the Garden of Eden, was a very respectable individ- ual, with specious tongue which could make a person do anything he wished. He told the perfect man that the advice he had re- ceived from Tonguk, the Creator or Good Spirit, was not wise. He also told him that the Creator was a boaster and could not do the things he said he could do. The final result was the first Es- kimo failed to obey Tongnuk. When the Good Spirit came back he was very angry and caused the man to fall into deep sleep and cut him in twain so that he was no longer a double man, but there were two people and one was a man and the other was a woman.
 After this incident, Tongnuk agreed to forgive them, but Tun ruk came back. He was worldly wise and told the man and wo- man many things they did not know and would have been bett- CT off if they had not known. He informed them all about sex and advised them to bear children and become strong and numerous. The woman became with child. When Tongnuk discovered that they had lied to him, he told them to leave the beautiful land with its fullness hereof, and laid the penalty of childbirth on the woman for her disobedience.
 The earth changed, the country grew colder, and vegetation dis appeared and the ice packs came down on the villages and des- troyed many, causing many death from the extreme cold and the descendants of the man be- came wicked and stole and kill ed.

Myer Blows Two Chances.

THE Reds never lost the lead after
milking De shong for two more
runs tn the third. Scarsella started
the trouble by singing with one out.
Phil Weintraub drew a walk, and
r,ccessive singles by Ernie Lombardl
and Charlie Colbert drove across the
runs that broke the tie and made
the score to in favor OF the Ma
tional Leaguers. The following inning
found Goodman singing and Scar
celia doubling after two out, boosting
the count to So.
The entrance of Weaver left 1t up
10 the Mats to make up for lost ground
without fear of losing more. Thls
was a feat Wander Nicer gave them
A chance to do in his debut in the
seventh. He walked Kuhel, Stone and
Travis in succession before getting
ANYBODY out. Myer forced Travis at
this point, Kuhel scoring, But Wright
looked at third strike and Cromp-
ton forced Myer, ending the inning.
The next frame found Wander Meer
little better. With two down he walked
Lewis, threw q single to Kuhel, then
walked Stone and Travis to force
across run and leave the bases filled.
It was the second time in as many
innings that Myer strolled to bat
with the bases loaded, but all he could
do was fly to Goodman and it was
all over.
Wander Meer's only easy inning was
the ninth, when he. whitfield Pinch
hitter Fred Sington. forced Crompton
to fly out and made Weaver roll to
Colbert.
Thus only Weaver's performance
stood out, but, in the end, that might
have made it worth while, providing
the Griffs' habit of losing doesn't
stick. In his first inning, which was
the fifth, Monte set the Reds down,
1-2-3. Pinchhitter Dwyer opened
the sixth by rolling to Myer and get
ting a hit when the ball bounced
weirdly of Buddy's chest. Thereafter
Weaver set down nine straight Red
Legs. Five OF them on easy pop fouls.
