YANKS SURE-F|RE

Japan, Usually Visited, Not

Men Make Trip.
By LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, July 13.-Expenses OF
the 40 American track and field ath-
letes who will fare abroad this summer
under the sponsorship Of the A. A. U.
are betrayed by the athletic associa-
tions Of the countries visited
Money covering major outlay. such
as steamship and railroad transporta-
ton, is advanced by the national or
ganization, which then Is reimbursed
by the various foreign track bodies.
In the eight years in which this
system has been in vogue. there never
has been the slightest misunderstand-
ing between the National A. A. U. and
European and Oriental associations.
never a delayed payment. nor argu-
ment.
Profitable to Some.
Some Of the nations make money
out Of the American athletes, who are
sure-fire drawing cards abroad. Others
break even England made a goodly
sum last year with 90,000 spectators
attracted to meets in which the
Yankee specialists participated.
Sweden, with three major meets
heavily attended, could make money
II 1t wished, but, as with certain other
nations. II. employs the presence of the
American performers as means of
stimulating interest in track and field
throughout the kingdom. Various ex-
hibition matches accordingly, are
held in small centers, to the end that
the small town boys shall see the
champion athletes and so be inspired
to try to emulate their skill and
prowess.
The japanese association always has
made money out OF these American
invasions, but, for various reasons,
Nippon is not on the itinerary of the
wanderers from the United States.
Germany Host to All.
Germany is making plans for the
United States of America versus Ger
many meet outside of Berlin. August
1914. and is planning to play host
to the entire American troupe, 40
athletes, who, in the case of other
countries to be visited, will be divided

It may be that the Berlin meet will
prove sufficiently attractive to defray
all expenses, including those Of the
visitors; but, in any case, the plan
at present is for Germany to organ
ize trip Of the American team to
Norway, Switzerland. Italy and Greece,
paying all expenses and. of course.
retaining any funds that are left
over.
The American team will be one
Of the strongest and best balanced
ever sent abroad. The fact THAI
Glenn Cunningham and Archie San
Romani passed up the trip is said
TO be due to domestic reasons: their
wives have got tired of traipsing here
and there and want to enjoy placid
summer, with the quality of restful-
ness verging upon sheer inertia.

BIBLE PLAN DOES
0KAY FOR TEXAS
Lone Star Gridiron Talent
Drawn by Sales Talk on
Schools Qualities,

The University of Texas, with 10000
students. is the biggest and wealthiest
school in the State. Traditionally pow
erful in athletics. Texas is accustomed
to dominating the Southwest Con-
ference When. several years ago. the
Texas football teams began to find
themselves regular inhabitants Of the
Southwest Conference cellar, an awak-
ened alumni body decided something
had to be done. What they are doing
Is being watched by universities
throughout the United States.
The alumni hired Dana Xenophon
Bible to take command. And they are
backing his Bible plan" to the fullest
extent.
The Bible plan Is nothing radical. It
calls for selling the university rs an
institution to the youth of Texas
rather than buying athletic talent" !"
Alumni have organized themselves to
approach boys who have distinguished
themselves both scholastically and
athletically in high school.
Calls for SaIesma nship.
The plan calls more for salesman
ship than anything else. A boy is not
offered . big salary. nor an easy job.
He is not given = scholarship. He Is
told Of the university's history, Of the
opportunity it offers along an educa-
tional line. of its distinguished alumni.
He is told Of Dana Bibles coaching
record.
A boy considered good football ma
terial win be offered . part-time job to
pay his college expenses. He is prom
ised help in getting started after
graduation. He will be promised work
during his vacation periods, II it is
available.
"Amateurism's Last Frontier
Its supporters say the Bible plan
makes the university "the last from
tier of amateurism."
Critics point out that competition
among schools for high-grade talent
Is fierce. and common sense will force
an athlete to accept the best financial
offer.
But nearly every week, end automo-
biles full of prospective football fodder
draw up to the campus. All questions
are answered by Bible and his stan.
Coach Bible himself says:
Prom present indications We will
have fine group Of boys entering the
university next September"

Mitzie, frantic, ran screaming
back to the west end of the bridge,
scrambled and half tumbled down
the embankment and ran hollering,
mothers check in the river" Pass
ers-by gathered around the scream
ing girl but could not understand
the excited gibbering the child was
trying to tell them. Some thought
she was saying her mother had
jumped into the river.
Then to the rescue came one of
Postmaster John R. Coan's stall
warts-the we'll known widower
and American Legionnaire, Tela
Burt-who drives a mail truck
which stops in the vicinity of the
bridge.
Mr.. Burt attracted by the crowd
and the screaming child went into
the crowd, grasped the girl by the
shoulders, shook her roughly and
finally was able to obtain an in
teligible understanding of what it
was all about. Mitzie pointed out
in the river at a floating object
which she said was the elusive pay
check. Bystanders would not be-
lieve that the child could have kept
her eye on the check among the
numerous other objects floating in
the river and were skeptical.
Burt, however, did believe her and
asked two of the boat men on the
excursion steamer, Donna Mae,
which was anchored at the dock to
take a row boat and pick up the
bobbing object out in the river
which the tear stained little girl
insisted was mothers check"
The Donna Mae employees went
out to the middle of the river and
came back with the check.
Mitzie tearfully and hurriedly
thanked them and hurriedly
climbed back up the hill to the
bridge almost running with the wet
envelope but holding it with both
hands.
Mitzie has expressed herself that
she surely is glad that "there are
nice men like Tela Burt"

Using seasoning material is an art
that good cooks acquire from prac-
tice, according to Margaret McPhee-
tiers, nutrition specialist for the Uni
versity of Maryland Extension Ser
vice. She points out that much can
be done to keep the daily fare from
growing monotonous by using few
spices and home dried herbs. A bay
leaf or a spring or two Of dried thy
me is sufficient to season the gravy
for pot roast, stew, or creamed
meat or fish dish. Miss McPheeters
says that the bay leaf should always
be removed from the food before SER
wing. Sage is also a well known
seasoning for beef, salt pork, or
cheese, and for meat and poultry
stuffings. but it should be used in
small quantities.

The five civilized tribes of Indians
were established in Oklahoma long
before the Civil war, states a writer
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. They
were southern tribes, and were re-
moved beyond the Mississippi to
make room for settlers. The five
were the Cherokees, Choctaws,
Chickasaws, Creeks and Seminoles.
These Indians took the southern side
during the war. For that and other
reasons they were deprived of some
of the western part of their lands.
On the coded portions the govern
ment established Sacs, Foxes, Chey-
ennes and other plains Indians. Lat
er other tribes were moved in. In
the Indian Territory, the eastern
half of the present state, there were
in 1900 not only the five civilized
nations, but also reservations for
Modocs, Ottawas, Peorias, Qua
paws, Senecas, Shawnees and Wyan-
dottes. In Oklahoma Territory there
were Kaw, Usage and Wichita res
ervations and one for Kiowas, Co
manches and Apaches.
