Cited in Swap for Kuzovo
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, June 14.-Base-
balls biggest brass, all except
Commissioner Albert B. (Happy)
Chandler. was in town today to
attend to a final chore connected
with Chambers enforcement from
the national pastirne.
Each of the Is big league club
presidents was expected to sign a
document drawn up by the out
going commissioners lawyer and
approved by barristers for the
two major leagues.
The three-page, single-spaced
bundle Of legal phraseology guar
antees that Chandler will not be
personally responsible for any
damages awarded against base
ball in suits filed while he was
in Office. Several still are pend
ing.
Leagues Meet Separately.
The two leagues were to meet
separately before noon, with Presi-
dent Will Harridge presiding over
the American League session and
his opposite number. Ford Prick,
on the National League rostrum.
Prick said that. so far as he
knew. the signing of 1.-The papers"
by his owners would be a formal
ity. and that his group then would
hold a lengthy discussion of other
matters not connected with the
commissioners office.
No joint session of the leagues
was scheduled, but Prick did not
rule out the possibility that all
the owners might get together
informally later in the day. He
doubted seriously that anything
would be done about choosing a
new commissioner.
At the time Chandler made
known his demand for a signed
legal release, he said he would
resign some time not too far
of" once it was in his possession
His $65,000-a-year contract runs
through next April 80, and he
will collect the last dollar of it
no matter when he walks out of
his Cincinnati Office.
Next Meeting in July.
The next joint meeting is
scheduled July 8, the day before
the All-Star game in Detroit. and
some feel that Chandler might
chose that occasion for his swan
song.
He was not invited to today's
signing ceremony. nor, in fact,
officially advised that it was be-
ing held. The last time Chandler
saw his employers in a body was
in March at Miami, when they
told him for the second time that
they did not wish to give him
another Seven-year pact.

"A field of 1862 golfer-134 pro-

fully feeling their way over the
cunningly-trapped Oakland Hills
Country Club course.
Years Of research into past
championships have gone into the
placement Of new traps that will
catch drives with the slightest

ways over the Courtyard, par-7C
Oakland Hills course are unbe-
lievably narrow. Beyond the traps
there is wiry rough, much Of it old
fairway grass, that is thickly
matted.
The consensus Is that this now
is the toughest golf course ever to
be host to the Open championship
The United States Golf Associa-
ton made slight concession on
the eve of the tournament when
the knee-high grass just 2 feet
from most Of the greens was cut
with hand sickles, but nature
wasn't any help when the difficult
layout was soaked by a hard rain.
Hogan Picks Snead.
This figures to be a strange
Open. Ben Hogan, the defending
champion. picks Sam Snead to
win. "but I'm not going to tell him
how to play any of the Shots" he
added.
Snead, making his 18th try for
this biggest of all golf titles, does
not pick himself.

Announcement of a deal send
ing Bob Kuzava, Mats left-hand-
er. to the Yankees in exchange
for several players is expected
momentarily. Clark Griffith, the
Mats boss, admitted today when
contacted by phone in New York
that trade with New York is
hanging fire.
However. Calvin Griffith, vice
president of the club, said that
only one of four players reported
headed for Washington is likely
to land here. Pitchers Joe Os-
trowski and Fred Sanford, Out
fielder Cliff Mapes and Infelder
Billy Martin have been mentioned
AS bait offered the Mats, but Call
win said only one of them has
been discussed in negotiations.
Tomorrow night is the deadline
for trades.
Sanford, a right-hander, and
Ostrowski, a left-hander, have
been spectacular only as failures
with the champions. In the last
two years. each has won five
games and lost seven. They have
a combined Us record this season.
Not Interested in Mapes.
The Mats also are believed to
be uninterested in Mapes, a left
handed hitter who batted only
.247 last year and currently has a
231 average.
Martin, returned to the Yankees
by the Army as hardship case"
earlier this season, is regarded as
acceptable to the Mats. In 1947,
his first full season as a pro, he
led the Arizona Texas League in
batting with 1892 average. He
hit PIT with Oakland in 1913 and
.2S6 in 1949. He is a second base
man with experience at shortstop.
Manager Bucky Harris of the
Mats long has felt, however, that
Sanford is better pitcher than
his record indicates. He has been
a big disappointment since the
Yankees parted with 500, 900 and
three players to obtain him from
the Browns in December, 1913.
In any event, there will be
wholesale shutting of the Mats
roster in the next "a hours. It

is being cut to make room for
Clyde Kluttz, a third-string

the Mats recently acquired.

With the addition Of Kluttz.
the Mats now have four catchers
and it's possible one of them may
be included In the Yankee deal
to fortify one Of New York's farm

Relics Of Indians Who Repulsed
Columbus Return to ST. Croix vi

1t was gathered and prepared by
the late Folmer Andersen. a
Danish-born American engineer
during a ten-year period begin
ming in 1920. During this time
Andersen was general manager of
a sugar mill owned and operated
by a Danish company with head
quarters in Copenhagen.
The artlfacts in the Anderson
collection were excavated or other
wise obtained from 5O-odd sites
which he found during the course
OF his work, principally Salt River.
off which Columbus anchored on
the north coast of the island: Es-
tate Fair Plain, on the south side
OF the island; and Estate Saint
Georges, situated in a well-water-
ed interior valley. The Andersen
Collection is composed of a large
variety of artifacts covering many
phases of prehistoric culture and
providing definite clues to the In
dian mode of living. It includes in
addition to many ornamental
bowls and other clay utensils,
weapons, implements, ornaments,
religious objects, and miscellane-
Gus artistry Of stone, shell, and
bone.
Establishment of the st. Croix
in Christiansted calls at
tention to several facets of the
and prehistory of the first
true Indians" discovered by
Columbus when he entered the
New World. Unfortunately for.
Columbus, and for his belief that
he had discovered the oriental In
dies, these Indians had progressed
as far as the stone age era of
human development. Since they
lacked writing and almost all of
them were exterminated by Co.
lumbus and his successors, they
are known mainly through a few
individual studies of the history
and the archaeology of the Antilles.
attention has yet been paid
to what may well be the most in
.teresting native cultures of the
Western Hemisphere.
It is known that the advent of
European adventurers, particular
ly in st. Croix, brought to a close
, 1951-10-15

a complicated cycle of aggression
and invasion by Caribbean tribal
groups, which eliminated in their
own destruction and extermina-
ton by the Old World conquerors.
According to most experts on
the subject, the Ciboney were the
first Indians to enter the Antilles.
A primitive, non-agricultural
group, which lived only by hunt
ing and fishing, these Indians may
have reached the islands from
Florida. They originally spread
out over the Greater Antilles but,
by the time of Columbus, had
been pushed back onto the south
western tip of Haiti and into out
of-the-way parts Of Cuba.
The Indians who displaced the
Ciboney were the Arawak, a
South American group which
moved up into the West Indies by
way of the island stepping stones
of Trinidad and the Lesser Antil-
les. More advanced than the CT
honey, they practiced agriculture,
made pottery, and worshipped an
elaborate series of deities, the
images of which they carved in
stone, bone, and shell. They re-
ceived Columbus Hospitality when
he encountered them in the Great
er Antilles, because they thought
he and his followers were gods.
Shortly before the arrival Of
Columbus, the Arawak were them
selves partially displaced by the
Carib. These were fierce, Gambia
listic Indians from northeastern
South America, who seized most
of the Lesser Antilles from the
AraWak and used them as bases
from which to raid the remaining
AraWak in the Greater Antilles.
They Systematically murdered and
ate the AraWak men and married
the women wherever they went,
, 1951-10-15

and the result was a combination
of both Carib and Arawak Gull
lures.
Whether Columbus encountered
such a combination when he an
chored off Salt River in st. Croix
during the course of his second
voyage remains to be determined.
The archaeological remains found
by Andersen and other investiga-
tors at Salt River are typically
AraWak, and yet the inhabitants
met and repulsed Columbus land
ing party with a rapacity and
courage which are associated with
the Carib. One of Columbus his
torians, Peter Martyr, described
the Indians encountered at the
Salt River anchorage as dark in
complexion and of fierce and hor-
rlble aspect, painted red and in
various colors to increase their fe-
rocious appearance; one side of
their heads was shorn and the
other covered with long black
hair"
The Christian Conauistadores
gradually conquered the islands,
planted the cross and, il turn
slaughtered the male population
by arms or unbearable forced
slavery and took their women.
The end result was the extermina
ton of the native population of
the Virgin Islands. In 1896, the
Earl of Cumberland described st.
Croix as wholly uninhabited."
Principal remaining vestiges of
this almost forgotten race have
been found to date on ST. Croix.
Such relics comprise the Andersen
collection which returns to st.
Croix by Pan American Clipper
on October IL.
, 1951-10-15

A collection of nearly $4,000
Indian relics, rare archeologi-
cal remnants of one of the first
tribes discovered by Christie
pher Columbus in the New
World, left New York Inter-
national Airport on Wednes-
day, October 10 aboard a Pan
American Clipper bound for
st. Croix, Virgin Islands,
where they originally were re-
covered by the late Folmer An
dersen, a Danish mechanical
engineer, during the earlier
part of this century.
There, the relics will be ex-
hibited in the newly estab-
lished St. Croix Museum,
which is to be housed in the
Christiansted Library. The
museum will be officially
opened with the installation Of
the Andersen collection.
The st. Croix Museum Com
mission, recently appointed by
Governor Morris F. de Castro,
Of the American Virgin Is
lands, plans to acquire all exist
ing data concerning Virgin
Islands Indian culture and fos-
ter further archaeological ex-
ploration and study in this
field. Scholars disagree as to
whether the St. Croix Indians
who met Columbus belonged
to the fierce, cannibalistic
Carib tribe Of the Lesser Anti
les, or were part of the more
peaceable Arawak group
which inhabited the Greater
Antilles, and the Museum Com
mission hopes to find out
which they were.

historic Indian ~artifacts is regard
