© MONDAY, JANUARY 29, 1934, — , SPORTS Two Teams From isend Giy (By 0. 1. MILIAN) The first dotibieheader of the second-half of the Island City Baseball ‘League, which was sched- uled to start yesterdsy afternoon, was ¢alled off by the officials in -order to comply with the Navy’s request ‘to have the field for the afternoon. The All-Nevy team played a doubleheader with two of the City League ¢lubs, They dropped the ‘first ‘contest. to Stars by a 6 to 1 score and ‘then ‘bowed to the Pirates in the nightcap ‘by the close score got 4-3. | Se er The Service lads presented the gun dgslis entries 80 se the best club yet seen herg in a Jong timas: Although }tkeC. Buc. rs ‘were lucky enough to lick the}Sailor boys they will admit that it was‘a pretty tough coytest and eame mighty near losing it. The pitching of Hunt, Navy, was the classiest seen here many a moon. The tall, slim bloride lad never let up tossing in snake-like eurves, and for quite a few frames had the best of the Pirates’ hitters popping up third or shortstop. Had it not been for the erratic ball played by Juliano at shortstop perhaps the old Hunt lad might have won his ‘game. The first game found the Young Stars of Acevedo batting against Olsen, 2 ieft ‘hand twirler, who looks to be good if he-ever gets in shape. “The school ‘boys ‘played like a million dollars bebind the steady hurling of Molina and prov- ed to the faris that ‘they have a club that ean play as good ball as any team in ‘the city.

It oc curred to him that Ortega’s explana- Hon was rather weak‘ also that he did not seem anxious whether Gra- hame believed it or not. The attt- tude of the big Mexican and his crew had been one of reserve the previous day; today it seemed that they felt toward him a new, familiar- ity. Perhaps Grahame’s inidifference toward Ortega’s inference that there was-good reason for his want- ing to evade civilization had some- thing to do with their affability. It did not perturb him at all. If Or- tega’s operations were illegal, they did not concern him, amd it was snone of his business. -At dusk they continued their jour- ney.

In appearance, the. sleekness which has characterized Chevrolet ‘cars in the past, is further accen- tuated by the actual length in- crease plus the treatment of the car design itself.

For a half hour they Yocked motionlessly on the sea as the lights of a steamer passed a -nitle or two distant, in the opposite ‘@rection: Grahame shrewdly sus- pected it was the gunboat patrolling back the way it had come. ‘The next day they rounded Cape Catoche* and sailed south. They passed #ome low-lying islands, and once several miles to their left a fruit Hner overtook them and steamed on. It looked like a white gull hovering at horizon-level. The day was uneventful. The crew took turns at the wheel, and Grahaniéand Ortega sat on the deck house and smoked. Grahame asked the big man when they would be gt the island and was answered that it would be tomorrcw, in the afternoon perhaps. Ortega;seemed to be pondering. “Iwas thinking,” he said, “that your island would not be the place yo want to go. It would:be safer on the mainland.” Grahame smiled. “You told me it was unsafe on the mainland.” “But I have been thinking. I could use you at my hacienda. It would be hard work, often. And you could make some money.” “I have plenty of money.” He caught Ortega looking at him ap- praisingly. “Still a man can always u @ more money.” ‘Why not go with Ortega, he thought. After all, his icea was not to remain at the island, but to use it as a base at which he could make inquiries as to the mainland back of the coast. ‘Those that sailed along these bar- ren beaches must be acquainted with many queer types that wanted nothing better than to go unrecog- nizéd and unquestioned. “What .s the interior like behind your place?” he asked. Ortega shrugged his shoulders. “Nobody knows. No one has ever been there. Very dangerous.” RAHAME made his decision. “I'll go with you to your hact- enda,” he said. “I won't promise to ‘work for you, until I look it over.

It had a Grahame drank. It was cool and Slight taste of vegetation; Grahame thought it was very curious. Ortega witnessed his amazement and offered an explanation. “There many such along the coast here. ts the mouth of a stream that Out from the land under the sea, It is Hike @ well in the bottom men like to drink ft than the water That night Grahame thought of Janice. It should have been that the distance that separated het from him would also tend to keep his thoughts of her equally far away. But it was not so. Her eyes, swept by their long lashes, looked directly at him. He would have Mked to have reached out and touched her shining hair. It was senseless to think about it. Here he was down along the coast of Quintana Roo, trying to forget her. Excitement, adventure, were the caustics to apply to the wound she had dealt him. There was some- thing in that country beyond the dull shore line that outsiders were not supposed to see. He was going in to look. Langton’s plane, buffeted by the southern hurricane, might have crashed in there. It was not beyond reasonable theory. Quintana Roo contained thousands of square miles that had not been inhabited since the dim centuries when pagan priests caused tall pyramids to be erected to their bloody gods. The wreckage of Langton’s plane might well be hidden in there. There might be other things hid- den. He was going in soon to see. ‘HE launch slid between the roots of mangroves that gripped the shores of a lagoon which was like a narrow river excépt that the water was salt. They ehugged along un- til they were two or three mites in- land from the coast, when the /pas- sage widened into a lake several hundred yards in cireumference. They edged inward toward a small wharf extending at water level several yards into the lake. The water's edge back of the wharf had been cleared and in the clearing were several flimsy buildings of palm-thatch. The launch was tied up at the wharf and the hatch unbat- tened. Grahame helped with the unload- ing. As the first case slid from the deck to the pier he uttered an ex- clamation. The size and weight of the case was unmistakable. Ortega and his two helpers paused to watch him. “Someone is going hunting, I see,” he remarked dryly. Ortega's reply was equally fronic. “In this country,” he said, “there is always hunting.” The unloading was accomplished without further comment. Grahame estimated that in the cargo there were cases containing at least two hundred rifles and a substantial amount of ammunition. Sufficient, certainly, to equip quite a little army, as numbers went in these countries. He was puzzled, however, to know what a band -f men bent on making trouble could do in this iso- lated part of Mexico. In the first place, the territory hereabouts was uninhabited according to all reports. Even if the man-power were avail- able, it would be impractical for them to strike through the jungles to the nearest civilized state, which was Yucatan. Furthermore, it would not be stra- getic to dominate Yucatan, since that state was Isolated, more or less, from Mexico proper. Grahame knew enough of revolutions and their technique, tc appreciate that ele- ment. Why, then, this warlike equipment landed at this point? Ortega brought up the subject that evening. “There are Indians in the interior here that wish equip- ment with which to defend them- selves I know what you are think- ing. You think because you have heard rumors of revolution in Mexico, that these guns are for the revolutionists. “It is not so, True, there is a revolution brewing just now,—that is why I avoided the gunboat the other day. They are on the watch for smuggled arms and it would be embarassing fof me to bh searched. ‘But this cargo is to be used solely for defense. I have brought many such, I have been well paid.” “How do they pay you?” “With gold,” replied Ortega shortly, “and other goods. In the morning we will leave and go far- ther south. I wish to pick up an- other cargo, and return to Progreso. Wher I return here, these cases will be gone and the payment will be in a place I know of.” “I would like to talk to these peo- ple who come for your shipment.” Ortega’s voice was harsh when he answered. “You cannot do that. Even I never see them—only one man, whom I meet south of here at Puerto Morelos. It is there I pick up my other cargo that I take to Progreso.” (Copyright, 1934, by Herbert Jemen) ‘Tomorrow, Fra Bg ink meets a night P& STEAMSHIP Co.
