FOUR 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.

In some of my early experiments Home spikes were too long, others were too short. “I equipped several horses with the perfect spiked shoe* and In private trials they made s mile in two seconds better lime than their average record. "I believe if the spiked shoe is adop ted for all racing horses it will mean the smashing of nearly every existing race record.” Those who used to call Feather weight Champion Johnny Klibune a "Ghees© Champion” and "a rr;an with out a punch” have ceased since a De troit statistical fiend figured it out that Johnny has done more fighting and more knocking out than any pres ent day champion. Kllbane he* been severely criticized because of his ring tactics, that to some seemed to lack aggressiveness. What is Mexico, and Why ? (8. C. McGahee). The population of Mexico is suppos ed to he about fifteen of these are Indian, seven are mixed (Mestizo), and the remaining two are white, print l; ally of Spanish descent. To the last, or whito class, belong the lew well educated people to be iound In tin* country. Education In Mexico seems to he at an extremely low ebb In view of the tael that the government now for in any .ears has maintained a system of public Instruction rivalling In merit ihat of any other Spanish-American republic and the further claim, of compulsory education in all the pri mary grades. The I torn.i n Catholic Is the prevail ing religion. Hut there is no union of church and state since the two were separated in 1857. All religions nre tolerated a provision In their F deral Constitution has guaranteed the citizens of Mexico this right for many years. The country was Invaded by Span iards from Cuba in the year 1519. An expedition led by Hernando Cortez and consisting of 11 vessels, 110. sailors, 553 soldiers, and supplied with a number of horses, guns, and ammunition of war, landed at Vera Croxon© overcomes the very worst cases because it removes the cause of Much troubles, it soaks right In and cleans out the kidneys and makes them filter out nil the poisonous waste mat ter and uric acid that lodges In the Joints ami muscles, causing rheum Atlsm; soothes and heals the bladder and quickly ends nil such troubles. It is the most wonderful remedy ever made for the purpose. You will find U entirely different from anything you have ever used. There Is nothing else on earth to compare with It. It mat ters not how old you nre or how long you have suffered, the very principle of Croxon© is such that It is practi cally impossible to take It Into the human system without results. You can secure an original package of Croxone front any first-class drug store. All druggists are authorized to personally return the purchase price if Croxone falls to give the desired results the very first time you use It. Hut hi» style has b**n no different than that of other champions. They all fight cautiously when they stack up ngalnst unknown. The “dub'' lues nothing to lose and everything to cutri. Why shouldn’t he force the fighting? The champion ha* nothing to gain and everything to lose. Why shouldn’t he ‘lglit cautiously, even if his opponent sizea up only a* a very Juicy lemon? Vet Kilhane ha* taken more chance* of losing hi* title In the two years he ha* been champion than has any mod ern title holder. He has fought over 20 fights In about 28 months—quite a slzeatje average. Jack Johnson has founght only nine fight* since he beat Tommy Burn* In ll'Ot Willie Ritchie fought about 15 fight* in the five years before Kid Williams took the championship from him. Kilhane has scored 8 knockouts in hi* fight* a* champion against two for Ritchie, six for ' onion, and three for Johnson. Abe Attell from whom Kll bane took the featherweight title scored only six knockouts in the three years before he lost out to Kllbane Cruz In November of that year. 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 patch Judges worked forenoons and afternoons, nnvlng their dinners serv ed in an apartment of the court build ing so as to lose no time. A certain officer preserved order In the court room while other officers summoned parties and produced them! In court A party In litigation would state his own csee. and whs allowed I to support tt by his own sworn tea i tlmonv and that of other witnesses No counsel was employed and no speeches made by any one. The court had a clerk who kept Its records In helroglypUlcal paintings These paintings were executed with so much accuracy that In all suits re specting real property they were al lowed to he produced a* good au thority In Spanish courts long after the Conquest. Aztec law punished adultery, thlev. lng. removing the land line of an other ohauging a standard measure, a guardian squandering the property of a ward, and drunkenness in the young, with death. The marriage Institution wsa reld •acred by them; and a divorce they loathed to grant.
