AN IDEAL ISLAND
Romance of Centuries Hangs
About Porto Rico
One Hundred Years Before Jamestown
Arose From Wilderness the Span
iards Were Living on Thi9
Gem of the Indies.
San Juan, Porto Rico.—Quaint and
picturesque and heavy with the ro
mance of four centuries as a posses
sion of the superstitious and fiery
Spaniard is Porto Rico, to which Ed
ward M. Bainter, principal of the Cen
tral high school of this city, goes next
month as commissioner of education.
As the reader is aware. Porto Rico be
' came a colony of the United States at
j the end of the Spanish-American war,
and a wonderful development has tak
en place In the tropical island the 14
years since. \
Porto Kico rad been settled a cen
tury by Europeans before James
i town was founded or the Dutch sail
ed up the Hudson river. The second
century had begun before the Pil
grim fathers waded from the Mayflow
er to the dry Massachusetts shores.
; Closely associated with its early his
tory are the names of Juan Ponce de
Leon, Nicholas de Ouando, Diego. Co
iumbus, Drake. Hawkins, Lord Cum
berland. Salazar, Sotomaver and oth
ers whose struggles with the rebel
lious Indians, marauding Carlbs, pi
rates and buccaneers in tbeir attacks
on the primitive city of San Juan and
1 other more defenseless settlements
furnish a story replete with ad
venture. warfare and romance.
Christopher Columbus touched at
Porto Rico on his second famous voy
age to the new world Ponce de Leon,
he of the search for the waters of
everlasting youth, built the first
town upon it and called It San JuaJl.
San Juan became the capital of the
island in 1508, and today holds the
same position. It is a typical Spanish
city.
If the traveler is fortunate he will
sail into San Juan bay in the early
morning when, against a gorgeous
tropical sunrise, the blue of the ocean.'
the gray and moss covered walls, the
white parapets of Casa Rlanca and the
many tinted dwellings rising terrace
like from the bay to the heights over
looking the sea form a riot of colors.
On tile other side of the harbor vivid
green cane fields, interspersed with
Luxuriant Vegetation in Porto Rico.
dark timed palms, the soft colors of
an occasional settlement and the back
ground range upon range o.' hills still
enveloped in the purple shadows of
the dawn, complete the beauty of the
scene.
The sound of the sunrise gun
booms fdrth from the grim and battle
scarred ramparts of old Motto, the
impregnable fortress which the can
non bails cf many nations have failed
to crumble, as the ship approaches
the narrow entrance to the land lock
ed harbor. Passing the gray and an
cier.t city wall. Its heights crowned by
the barracks. Casa Blanca, the resi
dence of the military commander and
Santa Catalina juilace, now the head
quarters of the civil administration
and 'he residence of the governor of
the island, in which Mr. Bainter wKl
have a home, the vessel threads Its
way between buoys marking the chan
nel Across the harbor the quaint
fishing village of Palo Seco is seen In
a grove of cocoanuts. and farther
along the beach Catano, another
small village, the delicately timed
houses from a distance adding to the
harm of the picture.
WOMAN IS CHASED BY MOOSE

Husband Kills Animal, Which, It It

Pittsfield. Mass.—As Mrs. tawrencs
Clement was leaving her house at
Pecket recently a big bull moose sud

chased her into the barn. She was
so frightened she fell to the barn
. floor in a faint.
Mr Clement, who Is a constable
was near by and hastened by a back
route to the house for his shotgun.
He killed the moose as It de.rted for
a thicket.
The moose weighed at least one

1 It Is believed the moose is one that

PARTICULARLY SWEET ON SYLVANIA GREGG
Vean Gregg. Cleveland’s Star Southpaw.
Connie Mack, manager of the Ath
letics and a championship specialist,
declares he would part w-ith a Mar
quard or OToole and a big sum of
money for a certain player if it were
possible to land that individual a mem
ber of the Cleveland team.
The head of the Athletic school has
a warm spot in his heart for Syl
vania Gregg, the Naps’ star offside
pitcher. Connie is of the opinion that
with Gregg on his pitching staff
American league pennants and world
championship would come to Phila
delphia as often as the fall rolls
around.
A pitcher of Gregg's ability could
work wonders pitching for Connie's
crew this season. The pitching prob
lem is worrying Mack not a little and
that's why he passed the remark that
| the Shibes would part with much cur !
rency if it were only possible to make
Charley Somers see such a deal. The
Naps need Gregg as much as they do j

STOVALL IS MANAGER
Selected as Leader of St. Louis
American League Team.
Bobbie Wallace Will Remain as Short'

In New Man.
George Stovall Is the new manager
of the St. Louis Browns—Bobbie Wal
lace returns to the field as an ordinary
player again. It’s a heartless thing,
this baseball. But even SL Louis
accustomed as fans there are of see
ing their teams trailing the procesh—
are demanding a winner. Bobbie Wal
lace couldn't produce it—can Stovall?
This isn’t Stovall’s first experience
as a manager. Last season he led
the Cleveland Naps the latter part
of the schedule and made a good job
of it. In fact, he put such life and
ginger into the Naps that they looked
better than they have at any time in
years. There was a big howl when
Harry Davis assumed the managerial
duties at Cleveland. Fans wanted
Stovall to stick, but Owner Charles
Somers couldn’t see it that way.
This move put Stovail on the mar
ket. because it’s pretty hard lor one
to play as a private where he once
was master. Chicago wanted him. but
refused to swap Rolio Zeider for him.
St. Louis finally landed, and George
has been a power in the infield there
this spring. He has batted among
the league leaders, and his fielding
has been sensational. In fact, he has
made the whole short garden look
good. Xow he is manager. Can he

hold the place? Many men have brok
en down under the strain of holding
two jobs at the same time.
President Hedges of the Browns
believes Stovaii will make good. Mr.
Hedges issued this statement on the
situation: “Im deposing Mr. Wallace
as manager of the St. Louis Browns,
we deposed one of the grandest and
most gentlemanly ball players that
baseball has ever known. He has
been connected with this club since
its start and in all the last ten years
he has been loyal and faithful in every
possible way. However, we feel that
the best interests of the club demand
the appointment of a new manager.
Greatly as we regret deposing Mr.
Wallace as manager, the welfare of
the ball club is paramount to the in
dividual. We want, and must have,
a winning ball club. Expense and ef
fort will not be spared to get one. For
that reason we make the change."
It is some consolation, however, to
know that Wallace will drag down the
same salary he received as manager
and that he will play shortstop under
Stovall. Wallace started playing ball

BURNING ITCH WAS CURED
“1 deem it my duty to tell about a

right in the edge of my hair on the
forehead, and spread over the front

“For three years I had this terrible
breaking out on my forehead and

he failed to cure it. Then I tried the
Cutieura Soap and Ointment and used
them for two months with the result

the sores healed up, and crusts

out and left me three bald spots the j
