1t is five months since the indict-

trial has been slow. One judge
fixed March IA as the date when the
players should plead, but later the

Now the state says the two assist
ant states attorneys who have been
assigned to the cases have been called
out of the city. Judge Barrett has
been engaged by the American League
to prosecute. and he will ask time

The indicted players will be in

Those who resent this partiality on
the part of the Shreveport scribesVa
partiaIity which is solely due to tfe
public appetite for news concerning
the Babe-maintain that the Yankees
can never be a real ball club so long
az there is an outstanding figure OF
the sort on the team. 1t would ruin
any team, they say, because, a1ter ALL
ball players are human beings and are
inclined to resent too great an en-
phasis upon a fellow player.
Or. if they don't resent it. it at least
breeds in them spirit of individual
ism which is not good for club. For
instance, Babe Ruth walks up to the
Mate with the privilege Of rapping
every ball that comes to him over the
fence. Fellow players go to the pat
with instructions. They must bunt,
or sacrifice. or may have TO 90 some
thing likely to interfere with tneir
batting averages. One may imagine
thatTthjs does not make batter feel
anv too good when he knows that the
Himbo goes to the plate without any
instructions save to pile up his home
run record.

Plays That Puzzle
=HY BILLY EVANS

The president Of minor league
wrote me about this play. requesting
my opinion of several situations that
might arise as result of the incl
dent. With the bases filled and two
strikes and two balls on the batsman
the pitcher delivered the ball which
struck perhaps two feet in front OF
tthe home plate. The moment the ball
struck the ground the umpire yelled
ball three. After striking the ground
II took a peculiar english. and, despite
every effort of the batsman. the ball
struck him on the leg. The moment
