The Irish Seem to Be Leaving and the Ger
mans Entering Baseball’s Hal! ot Fame
New York. Thr Iriah to bo
disappearing from bare ball and their
ancient and honorable enemies the
German*— gem to be horning their
way Into baseball'* hall of fame that
once wan peopled almost altogether by
the sons of Erin.
One of the recent lists of averages
for the American League shows only
two out and out Irish names among a
list of 50 pile here. This pair was
Gollina, of the Red R<»x. and Mei(ale,
of the Yankees. Against these there
nre 15 pitchers who have unmistakable
German names and about six others
whose names may be German and
may not. But whatever they are they
aren’t Irish.
Korty-five pitchers were in the Na
tional league list and only four had
Irish sounding name#—Jtagon of the
Dodgers, Ames of the fteds, and Me*
Quillen and O'Toole of the Pirates.
And there Is a quest ion as to whether
Arnes, despite his red hair, is an Irish
man. Fourteen real German names
appear In the pitching list and there
are about seven other pitchers whoso
names seem to have a German flavor
flavor.
In the American League batting list
that Included all hitters over .200 there
wer 75 names. The Irish had a some
what better representation there than
in the pitching list but it. wasn't
enough to give the Irish cause for a
celebration for once again the Ger
mans outnumbered them. The list
Showed 15 sure enough Irish names
against 20 real German names and fi
other names that sounded suspicious
ly German.
fn the National League batting list,
80 names appeared, and once again
in the flgnt between the Irish and the
Germans the former were worsted, the
out and out count being 22 Germans
against 17 Irish.

T..e natives lought bravely; and
would have repelled the Invader In
short order had It not been for three
serious /landlca.e. First, havldg
neve r seen a hoiso before, their sup
< rstltlon led them to believe the
horse and Its rider constituted but
the one being—a supernatural being,
against whom it was useless If not
ttacreligiouß, to fight. Second, a law
oT warfare among them forbade the
killing of an enemy until every means
of taking hltn prisoner had been ex
hausted. Third, and greatest obsta
cle of all, was the disaffection of cer
tain other Indian tribes whom the
Aztecs had subjugated, and who saw
a chance now by Joining torces with
< ortez of throwing off their hated
yoke.
The Aztecs having founded in 1325
I, 1 ; city, Tenochtltlan, or
Mexico as It is called today, in their
beautiful plateau valley, had extended
their sway beyond, so that on the ar
lival of the Spaniards, their empire
was found to stretch from ocean to
ocean.
If credence can he given Cortez
tiful others, Tenochfltlan was a beau
tlful city—an American Venice—built
upon lovely IslnndH, surrounded by
beautiful lakes, approached by grand
causeways—and canals, upon which
boats were gliding past rows of
houses, constructed of stone and
adobe.
A report of vast wealth in Mexico
hatl excited the cupidity of the Span
iards whose object thought ostensibly
to claim the country for the crown of
Spain and convert its inhabitants to
( lirlstiunlty, was to enrich their own
i ockets with the plunder of the na
tive*.
The Yaquls In Mexico today were
a different tribe from the Aztecs and
living farther north. It is said of
them that they have never been con
; ottered. They whipped bark even the
: Aztecs from encroaching on their ter
i ritory when on their empire founding
migration.
But a sow years ago Madero engag
e t their chief Rule to fight back his
enemies, in return for which service,
the Yaquls were to nave bark their
binds along the Rio Yaqui, and ever
aftt rward to be permitted to live
there in peace as tjhl their ancestors
before them.
If half be true that some historians
claim tor the ancestors of the Indian
population til Mexico there Is yet a
hopeful future for the dirty, listless,
decadent descendant.
They claim that tha ancient Aztec*
founded ti populous and powerful ag
ricultural nation, having a regular
form of government and an establish,
cd system of law and religion That
they built Immense cities; magnifi
cent edifices and temples; extensive
roads, aqueducts, ttnd other public
works. Constructed pryamids after
the order of those of the Nile; the
ruins of which still crown the hill
tops and strew the plains
The Sianiarda of the Conquest
claimed to have found massive stone
column Itlola. and altars, covered with
sculpture, equal in workmanship to
the finest monuments of tha Egyp
tians. v
Tint* the Indians hail mined much
gold which fell a prey to the avarice
of the Spaniards, no one will nardly
venture to deny.
Are the Indians competent of self
government? Their natural unham
pered genius for government must be
of a very high order. If what Prescott
and others sav, be half the trufh, of
the elective monarchy of the Aztecs
at the time of tne Conquest.
The reigning Montezuma was sur
rounded by * hoard of legal advisers.
Over each of the principal cities was
placed a supreme Judge. Below him
was a court of three members having
Jurisdiction In all civil suits. Below
these was a body of Inferior magis
trates elected by the people.
Still, there was another class of
BUbordinata officers, whose duty It
was to take surveillance of a certain
number of families and report to the
higher authority any breach of the
laws.
Judges held office for life; and
were themselves held to strict ac
count For them to take a present or
a bribe or be guile tn any wav of
eolluslon with a suitor, wag a crime'
punishable with death.
Court business was done with dis

afternoons, nnvlng their dinners serv

No counsel was employed and no

records In helroglypUlcal paintings
These paintings were executed with
