hundred problems of major import

appointed by President Elect Hard

Although President Elect Harding
has so far given no indication as to
who will be asked to form the cabinet,
political observers here have made up
a partial slate Of secretaries Ike this:
State-Elihu Root of New YORK.
Treasury-Governor Frank O. Low
den of Illinois.
Justice-Ex-S Senator George Suther-
land of Utah.
Navy-Ex-Senator John W. Weeks
of Massachusetts.
Agriculture-Henry C. Wallace, Des
Moines, editor.
Postoffice-Henry NJ. Daugherty Of
Ohio, or Will II. Hays.
Labor-John Nolan of California.
Herbert Hoover, General Pershing
and Major General Leonard Wooo
also are regarded as possibilities.
Bringing a technical as we'll as prac-
tical state of peace and paying the re-
mainder of the cost of the war will bt'
a big Job for the new administration
In addition to writing the peace terms
with Germany and Austria, Root, il
appointed secretary Of state, must
frame a Russian and probably a Mex
lean policy and propose to the other
mowers President Elect Hardine's plan
for "an association Of nations
Governor Lowden, if appointed to
the treasury, will have to get the
United States started on the task of
paying off the rest of the cost of the

GUILTY STARS
ASHAMED Of
THROWING
GAMES
Report Says Practice of
Throwing Games Is Not
General; Honest Players
May BE Relied On to Keep
Game Above Suspicion. :,
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Nov. ca special
grand jury investigating baseball
today returned final report which
stated, while the evidence has
been found that some games were
thrown by players, the practice is
not general and the leaders of or
ganized baseball may be relied up
on to keep the game above sus-
piciOn."
In part the grand jury's report says
considering the magnitude of the en-
terprise and the great number of ball
players engaged we believe compare
lively small number of players have
been dishonest. We are gratified to
find players who Immediately report
ed to their managers any suggestion
Of fixing and likewise managers who
Immediately discontinued players
when implicated in attempts to cor
rupt the game.
''The adoption of the policy as a
fixed practice no matter at what cost
will make impossible repetition of
the present trouble. Evidence was
given the jury of an instance during
a game played in Chicago where GER
tain players of the New York ma
tional league club offered another
player bribe if he would throw that
particular game. The player to whom
the bribe was offered Immediately
walked off the diamond refusing to
continue pitching the game.
"The jury thinks it advisable to en-
phasize in this report the remorse
and self-contempt felt by the players
appearing before the grand jury who
had accepted bribes.
Their testimony in this connection
was entirely voluntary and showed
how cheap and petty each player felt
and how their loss of self-respect
was in nowise compensated by the
sums thew. received" !"
