SEATING OF FORD WOULD
GIVE SENATE TO THE
DEMOCRATS
But, Should Newberry Resign Pend
ing Decision on Appeal After
Conviction, Another Re-
publican Could Get
Seat.

pete##e-iitt , .Attti Mich March z7-ztt=
though no action is expected by the
Senate looking to the unseating OF
Senator Truman Fl. Newberry of
Michigan. pending the final decision
in the case by the Supreme Court OF
the United States, the case is frought
with SO many possibilities as to
arouse widespread speculation.
The case as it stands before the
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections is one of contest for the
seat from Michigan between New
berry and Henry Ford.
This one seat, it is declared here,
means political control of the Senate.
Counting Newberry, there are 40 Re-
publicans and AZ Democrats. The
seating OF Ford would make tie and
the Vice Presidents vote. would give
the committee chairmanships to the
Democrats.
Newberry's decision not to resign
from the Senate pending final action
on the case arouses interest as to his
reception in the Senate when he re-
turns to Washington.
The rules of senatorial courtesy,
however, are so we'll established as to
lean to the belief there will be every
consideration for him until the high
est court acts.
The special Subcommittee which
has been handling the Newberry-
Ford case will meet next week to
consider its course of action. Con-
ferences probably will be held with at
torneys for Nevberry and Ford
The conviction of Newberry even
by the highest court, would not au-
torlatically dis1ualify him from the
Senate, as the bodies of Congress are
sole Judges of their respective MEM
berships.

They Struck Gas.

While engaged in drilling a we'll on
the Fred Thornhill farm, four miles
north of Adrian last Saturday, Clay
and Lloyd Cox struck a gas vein and
while testing it were quite seriously
injured. Also Chas. Nachbar, who
was there at the time received quite
severe injuries.
The we'll had been dug about 40
feet and drilled some 70 feet. When
they heard the gas come in they
tested it by dropping a match in the
hole and later decided to try it again
with a lighted oily cob. When the
flame mixed with the. gas which had
accumulated in the dug part of the
well it caused a terrific explosion
which blew the men who were watch
ing the result, some thirty feet from
the hole.
Lloyd Cox and Chas. Nachbar, the
worst hurt, were badly bruised from
their fall, besides being bruised and
cut from falling rock. Nachbar re-
ceived a bad cut over the forehead,
which required five stitches in dress
ing. Lloyd Cox received his worst
injuries in his left limb which caused
him much pain for time. Clay. Cox
receiving only minor INJURIES, was
able to bring the other men to town
in his car. Drs. S. L. and G. c. Bates
dressed the wounds of the Cog boys
and Dr. E. E. Robinson waited on

TWO STAR YOUNGSTERS
Yankees Have Chick Fcwstcr and
 Giants Frank E'risch--BOth Give Promise of Starring This Season.

Now that Frank Baker has con- and will return to the Yankees to play third base Miller HuSgins once more is confronted with the problem of placing Chick Eewster, the most peppery player on the club. Fewster is an infielder. He is at his best at base he ought to be played. But with Baker and his bat back Higgins no doubt will incline toward the policy of safety first and will give the veteran the hot corner.
 Fewster will play either the out field, for which he is not fitted, or second base. Derrill Pratt has not been getting any stronger either as a fielder as a batter. His arm has not been gaining in power of direc- tion, so it may be at second base that Fewste,1 finally will find himself when the bell rings for the big show to open. In Fewster and F'risch the New York clubs have pair of young sters whose styles are similar.
 Frisch has the advantage in that he is of Q more robust build and can stand a lot more knocking about than can Fewster. I'risch has played foot ball, and played it well. Both are full of vim and both are sensational fielderS and remarkable base runners. New York fans will watch them with ever increasing interest.

One Team Because of War.

1 Because of the ravages that the i world war made in the ranks of Eng l lands youth, Oxford and Cambridge i Will send a combined team to rep resent their country to compete ! against the best college teams of the United States. They have chosen the tWo-mile relay as the event in which they will compete, and they will undoubtedly be a very hard nut , for the American teams to crack. One of the members of the Cam bridge Oxford squad that will be sent across the seas will be Mon tague. the greatest distance man in , England. and if the University of Pennsylvania can find suitable op-
 ponents for him, a special three
 mile race will also be put on. Mon , taeue, six weeks ago. won the Cam bridge Oxford cross country race, ma king a new record, in spite of the
 fact that frequently during the race
 he dropped back 60 or 70 yards to urge on his mates. He won with ridiculous ease and to the astonish-
 ment of the crowd established q new record for the course. The re- lay management will query the va rious American colleges at once for entries for the thrcc-nlile race, and it is expected that some very fine distance men will be found to give battle to the redoubta bc English collegiate distance runner.
 Oxford Has Fast Team.
 Thc big interest will, of course, center in the two-mle team that OX- ford and Cambridge will present. The cable stated that Rudd, Mon tague and killesan of Oxford, and Mountain. Tatham and Gregory of ( f~.,,, 1,,-iJ which will be ,acconlpanied by Col. A N. $.

 The query at once arises as to 1! whether America will have the ma l terial to meet this formidable for l eien invasion. Coach Robertson Of ; Pennsvlvania stated at once that though he had intended to put hls big efforts on the one-mile event, ne 1 will make every effort to have team that will give battle to the Eng ] lishmen. --.
 But. Americas hopes will not be 1 wholly dependent on PennsNlEahla. | Yale and Harvard have very good i two-nlile teams. In fact, Yale was 1 considered as the fastest tWo-mlle 1 relay of the recent indoor season. In ] Reed, Driscoll. O'Brien, Siemens and Heffelfnger the Ellis have five men l capable of beating two minutes. Reed | and Driscoll have won many lmpor- tant middle distance races this Win ter, and they will make the Yale team very hard to beat. It will also he rem hered that Harvard was beaten only one foot by Yale in .two-mile relay race. so the Crimson will also have to be reckoned with. Chicago is also said to have very good material for this event. so that Cambridge Oxford will have the hardest of competition to meet here. It should be one of the greatest sporting events of the year, and Franklin field will no doubt be too small to hold the crowd that will clamor for admission.
