Spanish Mains Location
Was Puzzle to Travellers

S0ASAA4S -
The exact location Of the Spanish
Main long puzzled travellers and
writer's. Some applied the name to
the entire Caribbean, others thought
1t designated the mainland border
ing that sea.
In the heyday Of the conquista-
dores and pirates, the old Spanish
Main comprised not only the Carib-
bean sea, but that part Of the Allan
tic ocean piled by Spanish treasure
ships.
The name later came to embrace
the shores Of the Caribbean islands
and the adjacent coasts of South
and Central America.
Now the name has narrowed down
to denote the northern coast Of South
America between the Isthmus Of
Panama and the delta Of the Orino-
co river, thus including the coasts
Of Panama, Colombia and Ven
ezuela.
Unromantic freighters replace the
old gilded galeons. but precious
cargoes are still shipped from the
Spanish Main.
Venezuela is the third largest oil
producing country in the world.
Colombia contains the worlds
most important emerald mine.
Exports from the main include
platinum, gold. silver, Panama hats.
coffee, chicle, tonka beans. ivory
! nuts. which are made in many ar
( ticles from umbrella handles to but
tons, and kapol, a so-called ''vege-
table down. used as stuffing for up
holstery.
An interesting relic Of the old days
is the Bluebeard Castle at ST. Thorn
as, now called Charlotte Amalie. It
is three-story fortress and is now
the centerpiece Of a new hotel. It
is gaunt structure and popular
with visitors during the daytime. At
night people prefer to stand outside
and gaze at it.
The rugged old fort is made awe
some by the tradition that the origi-
nal owner. pirate who was nick
named Bluebeard because Of the
blush sheen on his black whiskers.
had a fun set of Is wives.

The
SPORTL|GHT
Ohio Stote Only Tested
Team in Two Classics
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Sneci,l Cnrrnsnnn dent Of The Star

NEW YORK. Oct. 26 (N.ANAD.-
In the classic scramble of the Ivy
and the Big Ten today. with the
powerful forces of Michigan and
Ohio State thrown against the
equally powerful forces of Pennsyl-
vania and Cornell, there is one i'm
portant point to consider.
Of the four teams involved only
Ohio State has yet bounced against
the type of opposition that all four
must face. PENNSYLVANIA, Michigan
and Cornell will get their first real
offensive and defensive shocks of
the fall campaign. Ohio State
alone has been to the real wars
against Pittsburgh, Northwestern
and Minnesota
Outside of Michigan State, the
Wolverine has romped through
California, Harvard and Illinois,
who are not PENNSYLVANIA by many
kllometers.
Cornell and PENNSYLVANIA have
been only lightly tested. although
Dave Allerdice of Princeton was
more than a mere pain in the neck
for the Red and Blue.
Ohio State, beaten twice in two
nip-and-tuck games, will come rid
Ing hell-for- Leather against Cornell
with a football team that needed
only yard plunge to beat Mime
sofa, which has the best record of
the year. Cornell, as good as the
Big Red of Ithaca happens to be,
will find the Scarlet Scourge some
thing entirely different from Col
gate, Army and Syracuse.

Griffith Pays for Clubhouse Orlando Builds
Deal Recalls Time Nat Boss Got Huer With Owners Dough

Mr.. Griffith, ingenious as ever.
I'll pay for the thing he said,
''if Orlando will pay it back"
Thus it was agreed Griffith is
building new, modern clubhouse
for the Senators, who will start
training early next February. 1t
is his cash. But-Over the next
three years and in one-third pay
ments-the city of Orlando will
pay Mr.. Griffith for what it cost
him to build the clubhouse.
All of which reminds of another
novel transaction sponsored by
Mr.. Griffith over the years. Back
IN the early 19O0s. when he was
raiding the National League in
behalf of the American, Griffith
attempted to lure the star catcher
of the Philadelphia Philles. Ed
Mcfarland, to the new loop.

Riders Score in Last Period.

A laSt-period rally won for the
Rough Riders their first victory over
Central since 1915. The Vikings had
scored a questionable touchdown in
the third quarter, but the Riders
continued to battle and took ad-
vantage of a break themselves to
set up the winning tally.
Roosevelt's Dick Goodman, who
played a brilliant game at end all
afternoon, put the Riders in position
when he recovered tumble by
Olin Hartman on the Viking %
Les Wicklein got to the 6 when he
pulled down Bob STEMS pass from
a welter of Central defense men.
Then three times the Raiders hit
the line for little gain. but on
fourth down and to go. Carl
Sturges skirted left end behind in
reference by Bernie Kolker and
Wicklein for the touchdown. Marvin
Kogad's placement for the extra
and winning point just did sneak
between the uprightS. The game
ended two plays later.
Central's score in the third quarter
was on a 25-yard end around by
Sam DiBlasi. Sam hit the dirt and
skidded across from the 4. The tally
was protested loudly on the grounds
that his knees and everything else
touched the ground before he crossed.
His dropkick for the extra point
missed, and several minutes later
he, along with RoOSeveltS Dick
Koester, were thumbed from the
game on charges of slugging.
Roosevelt's victory was achieved
by patched-together lineup of
cripples. Mymie Perlo, the Rider
star, was out with injuries, as was
Irwin Breier. Goodman also played
only part Of the time because of a
