pering with it becomes an offense pun
lshable with some degree or severity
by state laws. An effort will be made
1T is said, to push legislation this win
ter in order that the season Of 1921
may open under auspicious circum-
stances.
President Johnson of the American
League favors Federal law regulat-
ing gambling on the games and the cor
ruption Of players. This, however, it
was pointed out by some of the mag
mates, would be difficult of accomplish
ment and would probably be out of the
scope of the Federal government. in
that such offenses in no way concern
interstate matters.
President John Heydler Of the Ma
tional League, appreciates the work
that IS being done by the Cook County
grand jury, and he is here to do all he
Nm to help it, but at the same time
wants to make preparations to handle
the baseball situation after the grand
jury announces it's findings and is dis
missed.
Commission Must Have 1'ower
at is possible the grand jury will
indict dozen or more baseball play
ers,' said Heydler. "If these men go
t. trial probably not half of them will
be found guilty. Those who are con-
victed naturally will be barred for all
time. What is to be done with the
others? That is an important question
and one we will have to be in shape
to handle.
eve must have commission with
chairman at the head invested with
the power to clean house of the men
with dishonest tendencies. The men
indicted but not found guilty on trial
40 not belong in baseball"
The president of the National League
argues that the new tribunal is not to
be organized to run the business of the
sixteen club owners of the minors.
but to give the game as sport the
attention it requires. 1t is the opinion
that baseball is virtually a public in
stltution, belongs to the people. and
Tor that reason needs to be safeguarded
by tribunal with the power to in
struct the league presidents and club
owners on subjects that tend to iniure
the game.

Emily Knowles Gives Up Child to
Former Sweetheart.
BY Associated Press.
Baltimore. March 13.-Mrs. Cora
Spiker appeared in the circuit court
before Judge Stanton yesterday and
legally adopted Alfred Roy Spiker.
The child is the offspring Of her hus-
band, Perley Spiker. and Emily
Knowles and was born In England
during the closing days Of the war.
With her in court appeared her
husband. Guy Spiker. his brother,
and the English girl herself, now
Mrs. Guy Spifer.
The three principals were grouped
in front of the Judges bench with
Perley Spiker standing between the
two women.
Benjamin J. F'reeney unfolded to
the court the dual relationship which
Perley Spiker had sustained with the
women as the husband Of the one
and wartime sweetheart of the 9TH
er. He dwelt upon the unfortunate
sequel Of the last named relation
ship. which it was the object Of the
proceedings In some measure to OFF,
set. Both Perley Spiker and his wife,
Mr.. Freeney said. were anxious to
assume the care. rearing and educa-
tion Of the child. -"1
In marrying Guy Spiker. Mr.. Free
ney continued, tho girl had In tho
circumstances only assumed present
ana potential responsibilities which
were practically almost as great as
those she had borne as the mother Of
her infant.
While Guy Spiker is earning fair
salary he and his 18-year- old wife
are facing the world very young. Tho
income of Perley Spiker as steel
worker is over 500 weekly.
The baby's mother was questioned
by Judge Stanton and gave oonfirnn-
tion to the statement In the adoption
petition that she voluntarily gave up
the child. She told tho Judge that
she had given her consent unrcserv-
edly because she felt that her hus-
bands means would not admit OF
the child's being given the opportu-
nifty in life whioh Y deserved at her
bands.
