Exchange. i ' Ethlmo$ Strong for ' Dominion of Spirit The Eskimos belle-I- n spirits in-habiting auluials and inanimate ob-jects, but their chief deity la an old woman who resides in tbe ocean and may cause storms or withhold seals and other marine animals if any of her taboos are Infringed. Per power over these animals, says the United States bureau of ethnology, arises trout the fact that they are sections of her Angers cut off by her father at the time whan she first took up bnr abode In the sea. The chief duty of the shamans or medicine men Is to find who has Infringed the tnhoos and thus brought down the wrath of the supernatural beings and to compel the offender to make atonement by public confession. The central Eskimos sup. pose two spirits to reside In man's body, one of which stays with It when It dies and may temporarily enter the body of some . child, who fa then named after the departed, while the other spirit goes to one of several lands of souls. Some of the lands of f Jockeys Fail to Keep Up Pace f j: & f I VIE young Jockey stars, who, by their brilliant performances at the T I southern tracks last winter, gave promise of being able to push Sande, Fator, Lang, Tool and other veterans Into the background, X have fulled to do Uie job up In flrst-clus- s shape. ', ', X Not one, from the leader, 0. Meyer, down through Luther, Robert- - son, Leonard, Inzelone, Itennle and Woolf, have been able to show any- - X tlilxig like their lust winter's skill when tossed into competition against !J the leaders on the major tracks. V The one lad In the outfit with a legitimate excuse to offer Is C. X Meyer. Early In the Kentucky spring season he was injured In a spill Y, 7 and was unable to ride for a month A and a half. And it was during $ that month and a half that his i. youthful rivals of last winter all f failed one after another to Jump X ahead of the veterans of other x seasons. Luther, who had won the Cof-- X froth handicap and other stakes at Tla Juann, chose to make his bid .', for additional fume In Kentucky. ' Ho fur he hasn't won a stake there X but has been fairly successful In y setting winners homo In the chenp- - X er events. X Robertson moved from Cuba to J New York.

S y He wins muny races and has pulied up within striking distance of the X X lead which C. Meyer still holds. Y Woolf and Rennle have been doing fairly well on the Chicago X f tracks, but they have found in J. It. Kelly and It. Doggett a pair of y X youngsters that frequently give them a riding lesson and are hanging X up Just as many victories as the two lads who were the idols of the V X Tia Juana patrons lust winter. X Y Among the older riders, H. Elston, E. Tool and W. Garner on the y Y. Chicago circuit, L. Shaefer, who bus spent most of the season In i X Canadu, George Fields, E.

Bubo Ruth and Lou Gehrig use .he same style bat. Gehrig copied his from Ruth. The bats are much the same except that Ruth s has a larger knlb on the handle. A few ycurs ago Babe did not care how heavy tils bats were, but for the last two years they have weighed ,42 ounces each. Gehrig uses a bat. Both models are 35 Inches long. Tris Speaker uses a h bat of 38 ounces, with a large end, the same sort as Is used by Uomsby and Heli-um n. It is Interesting to know that this style bat, which tnpers down from a thick end to a small body and a thin handle, was originated by Hal Chase, the greatest first baseman the game ever knew. The first bat Ty Cobb ever used In the big league wu3 of the Harry Da-vis model. Harry originated the thin-handl-bat Cobb- - helped to make it popular. But Cobb shortened the Davis model a bit, shaved off the handle a little and made a , model of his own, one that he has used ever since. Eddie Roush of the New Turk Giants swings a heavy bludgeon. They range anywhere from 43 to 50 ounces each. His model is a short, stubby, thick-handle- d club about 32 inches long. l'uul Waner uses a stubby club, too, but his bat has a thin handle. Paul is a little fellow but be swings a 40 ounce but. AI Simmons of the Athletics and Sturdy, a recruit with the St Louis Browns, use the longest bats. They measure 37 inches. The regulations permit a bat 42 Inches long, but no player in the big time uses a club that long. The average bat Is about 35 Inches long. Eddie Collins uses the smallest bat of any of the It is a thin-bodie- club, 34 inches long and only 34 ounces in weight. It Is a little larger than a fungo stick. One time when he was with the Chicago White Sox during the reign of Kid Gleason, Collins was lu a butting slump. He was desperate, for no matter how he stood or swung lie could not get a lilt. Finally he grabbed a fungo stick, a light, slim affair, and he belted out a home run and cume out of his slump. Ultra-Viol- et Light Not Good for Plants Extra doses of ultra-viol- light are not so good for plants us for animals, it appears from experiments carried on In London by E. M. Delf, K. Rltson and A. Westbrook, working at Kew gnrdens and Bedford college, England. The experiments were undertaken with the Idea of finding the possible effect of the light on plants brought from the South to northern countries where there Is much less sunshine. To seedlings and older plnnts treat-ments were given with quartz mer-cury vapor lumps, similar to thope given human beings. Germination and growth were retarded and In older plants leaf formation was partly In-hibited and (lower formation and bud-ding wpre held back. Marjorie Morrill Will Stick to Buttermilk Miss Murjorie Morrill, Boston's twenty-year-ol- d tennis ace, attributes much of her success on the courts to a diet of buttermilk and string beans. One of her latest victories occurred In the eastern association tournament when Boston wou the Sears cup for the second time, says the Cleveland i'lain Dealer, l'rlor to that she had beaten Miss Mary Dixon Thayer, Philadelphia's star, nnd had beaten Miss Betty Nutlmll of England on the Riviera. "Yes, It's true," Miss Morrill said, "that I ubout live on butter-milk nnd beans. Not Boston baked b:fins, but string beans. I have been eating them and drinking buttermilk or years. It gives me energy und isn't fattening." Aren't We All? V' 'What about vacation?" "I'm glad I don't have to work at It permanently." It Should Be Free "I believe In free speech!" "That's nice. I'd hate to have to pay to hear you!" "Sunny Jim' Stars lm p. Kim aiw'Rr"" '"""" it Jim Bottomiey of the St. Louis Cardinals Is one of the stars of the National league. He is a fine fielder and hard hitter. His team mates call him "Sunny Jim." The arguments of the loquacious In-dividual are mostly sound. Other women can't see how a man can be Jenlous of his wife. Unusual Names Quick to Capture Imagination What's in a name? Almost every-thing. The rose by any other name hardly would smell quite as sweet after nil. Most of the men who capture the Imagination of a nation have unusual names. Rogers Horusby got his start in the big leagues because Miller Hug-gin- s was attracted by his rather un-usual name. Babe Ruth wouldn't be quite the figure he la under the name of Joe Smith. "Fortune likes fine names," said James Russell Lowell, "und Fame loves best such syllables as are sweet and sonorous on the tongue." Base on Balls Proving Great Bane to the Cubs That incident in baseball, described as the deadly base on balls, has played a much more Important part In the antics of the Cubs this season thun nil the solid hitting, or lack of It, that has caused a commotion among the customers. A base on balls or a batsman soaked In the ribs now and then doesn't seem to be anything alarming. But when a check of Cub box scores show that of the first 50 runs scored against McCarthy's boys this year, ap-proximately half were put on the base on balls or hit batsmen, then It is something else again.
