What Baseball Needs.

Baseball needs, as starter, the
unprejudiced judgment Of a man
DARN after the manner of Judge
Lands to insure justice and close
observation of certain wrinkles
that. unless ironed out promptly,
may later turn into breakers.
1t needs a keener vision on the
part Of all magnates, who, for the
protection of the game. which also
means their property, must be will
ing to look a few steps beyond the
gate receipts.
Beyond this, 1t also needs a closer
cooperation among the players for
the general good of the game which
furnishes their living.
Any number of players knew
most of the inside story which sur
rounded the White Sox.
Suppose, with their inside knowl-
edge. they had collected all the facts
and insisted upon the crooked play
ers being brought to trial.
II they had, the player today
would be in control of baseball, with
the magnate backed clean out of
the frame.
1t Is up to the player. more than
anyone else. to protect his own
game. 1t might not be a bad idea

Against Dempsey.

Figured in the order OF their COM
paratiye chances to win from Demp-
sey the remainder OF the heavy
weights might be placed in this or
der:
/. Jess willard.
2. Georges Carpenter.
3. Harry Wills.
Dempsey himself believes that
Carpenter would have a better
chance to beat him than any Of the
others, because the Frenchman is
the only one Of the trio who can
match him in speed.
Carpenter is a fast. skilled box
er with a punch. That's all any one
needs. The others are too SLOW" the
champion remarked a few days ago.
In spite of this opinion there are
many who still believe that Willard,
well trained and mentally adjusted
| for the test, would have the better
chance to turn the trick.
The talk OF stopping the proposed
Dempsey-w willard fight on account
Of its brutality Is too ridiculous for
further comment. In the first place,
who cares how many punches they
exchange? In the second place, is
our athletic destiny to be controlled
1
by a lot of mush- hearted sentimen-
talists to whom a drop or two Of
blood is a thing of unparalleled hor-
ror?
The main weakness OF the prize
ring Is not brutality, but lack of
proper control over types. promoters
and fighters. who have elected them
selves to direct the destinies OF the
game. For the game itself Is well
worth guarding and developing, the
game that a strong nation should
protect, encourage and keep clean.
To say that crooks. thugs and politi-
cal graft can't be driven out Is an
admission OF weakness on the part
of city. State or nation.
In the meanwhile Dempsey
wouldn't have to look far IL Joe
Lynch could only pick up seventy
pounds somewhere around the neigh
torhood.

To ROB INDIANS,
BUREAU CLAIMS
Red Skins Released From
Government Guardianship
Preyed Upon BY UnsCru-
puIouS Persons. Alleged.
(By' The Associated Press

Washington, Dec. S,-There are
many Instances in which Indians
released from government guar
dianship have been victimized by
INSCRIPTIONS exploiters who
made plans ITO rob the Indian even
before the latter had received his
certificate Of independence 90
cording to the annual report of the
commissioners, MADE pubic
tonight. The bureau on this ground
vigorously opposes blanket release
of the governments wards, which,
it SAYS. has been increasingly agi-
tated for some years
"Tha removal OF restrictions
from Indians as an individual, not
a group question:" the report said,
excepting for those people who
have a larger proportion of white
than Indian blood" In the latter
case Indians should DE given full
control of money or property held
in trust for them by the govern
ment as soon as possible, the COM
said. Where those with
half or more Indian blood are In
yolved, however, the commission
ers are decidedly opposed" to
wholesale removal of restrictions,
Cases of Indians Victimized on
release from supervision have been
so frequent, the report said, that 1t
had been suggested that an allot-
ment of at least five acres of land
should be made for released wards,
for period of years in
order that when a freed Indian,
in fact but competent
by decree, has lost his money and
other lands, he may have a place
Of refuge"
The commissioners point out 70
per cent of the Indians, exclusive
of the Five Civilized Tribes, are
from half blood to full-blood, and
that only So per cent Of the govern
ment wards, exclusive of the five
tribes are able to speak and only
q per cent able to read and write
English. Statistics as to the five
tribes are lacking, but in view of
The known facts the reports as
serts that "the cry from Interested
quarters to turn all Indians loose
should receive scant
attention"
