PURGING THE NATIONAL GAME
OF CROOKEDNESS


Although, as sporting writers
express it. baseball got "black
eve" as a result of the exposure
OF dishonesty in connection with
the playing of the worlds series
in Cincinnati and Chicago in
1919, the favorite sport OF Amer
leans was not permanently in
jured. Immediately following the
disclosures OF crookedness there
may have been temporary loss
OF confidence in some circles but
the ingraihed faith OF all of us
that the great mass OF baseball
players is composed of men OF
sterling character who are too
upright 10 betray the public and
their mates and employers was
too strong TO permit the game 10
remain long under a cloud. Re
Gently there has been more con-
Germ lest the proceedings against
the players implicated might
prove futile as a result of mo-
ton to quash the indictments on
technical grounds. But this fea-
ture of the case has now been
obviated by the action of the
court in refusing to permit such
action and ordering the trials TO
proceed.
But, If it should have so hap
pened that the court considered
the points raised by attorneys for
the defense of sufficient weight
10 virtually nullify the case
against them, baseball still would
have been in a better way than IT
was before the disclosures were
made. True, it is likely the of
tenders would have escaped
without further punishment but
the penalty already inflicted, as
reflected in public sentiment,
even now has been sufficient to
safeguard our nearest approach
to national pastime from further
crimes of similar nature. The
baseball players under indict-
ment are under a public odium
that, unless dispelled, would for
ever bar them from participation
in the game in a big way even
though they were able to find
managers willing to employ them,
which is a contingency that is
open to much doubt
Had the indictments been
quashed they and their friends
might have set up a claim that
they had been indicated, but
their position would have been
one that would have required con-
tinual explanation. and it is really
better for any OF them who has
hope of proving himself guiltless
that he has an opportunity to do
so. The trial will offer every
player opportunity to clear him
self and if he comes through the
ordeal he will do so with flying
colors and will have a much bet
ter opportunity TO re-establish
himself in public esteem than he
would have had, providing the
case had been thrown out of
court on the purely technical
grounds that were made to
serve as a basis of the conten-
tions of the attorneys for the in
dicted players. The verdict
would have been accepted as
mot guilty. but don't do it again"
and such verdict in the case of
men who depend upon a public.
sometimes tickle, but always
wrathful when it considers itself
wronged, would have been just
as fatal for their future as one
OF guilty" following an open
trial.

PORTER WRECK BLAME FIXED

Washington, March 23.-The recent
wreck at Porter, Ind, which resulted
in the death of 81 and injury to 20
persons, the interstate commerce COM
mission bureau on safety announces,
"agaiE calls attention to the necessity
for an automatic train control device
to be used In connection with existing
signal equipment for the purpose Of
auton Ntically controlling the speed Of
a train In case the engineman for any
reason fails properly to observe sig
Lals indications and to operate his
train accordingly. The bureau finds
that the failure Of Engineer Long,
employed by the Michigan Central
railroad. to observe certain signals
was the cause of the wreck. A con-
tributing cause of the wreck, the bu-
reau's report added, was the failure

BLAST WRECKS BIG ELEVATOR
Thousands of Tons of Wheat De.

Blows up-Six Killed.

Chicago, March 23.-With the
search for four missing bodies halted
~ the complicated wreckage of the
great Armour grain elevator at South
Chicago, it became known that there
Is danger Of a second big explosion.
Every precaution was taken to pre-
vent the explosion Of Overheated grain
in the great bins still intact, and in
preparation for the %salvaging. The
authorities are now convinced that
the total deaths will remain at six
The property loss will approximate
S6,0OO,OOO. The original crash is still
believed to have been due to sponta-
O combustion in the drying room
Of the elevator, where 100000 bushels
Of wheat were being dried. With the
heat Of a fire which kept the fire APP
p~aratus away for hours, the entire
plant became a furnace.

BERLIN SEES VICTORY

or Of the bloodless German ballot vic
tory in the plebiscite in Upper Silesia.

Aside from that there was no more
manifestation of enthusiasm over the
plebiscite victory than there were out
ward signs of depression when the
British and French troops marched
into the Ruhr district a few days ago.
The returns reaching Berlin indicate
that 81 per cent Of the plebiscite went
for Germany and 80 per cent for TO
land. The big industrial district Is
considered safely German.
A number of smaller border sections,
including Rybnik, Pless and Tarne-
WITT, have chosen to go with Poland.
The result as a whole, so far as can
be judged now, indicates a big disap-
pointment for Poland.
OF the total votes counted thus far
l,011, 500 are for remaining with Ger
many and 368,900 favor going over to
Poland.

and Rybnik, which went to Poland.
These two districts contain large vir-
gin coal fields which have not yet been
developed.
The area involved In the plebiscite,
comprising some 5000 square miles,
was the largest section of territory to
have its fate submitted to a popular
referendum under the treaty Of Yer
%sailles, but even more important than
the size of the district was the mate
rial wealth contained in its varied
mineral resources, mainly coal, but
also including iron. zinc and lead.

FARMERS FACE
Crave DANGER
President and Cabinet Alarmed
at Situation of AgricuI-
turaI interests.
LONG CONFERENCE IS HELD
Meeting Of Chief Executive and His
Official Family Lasts More Than
Two Hours-Secretary Wal
lace Leads Discussion.

Washington, March y. American
from the flood of foreign importations
pouring in practically free Of duty
This was the unanimous opinion of
President Harding and his cabinet fol.
lowing their longest conference since
the new administration toOk Office.
The meeting Of the President and
his official family lasted more than
two hours, most Of the discussions re-
lating directly to proposed means for
preventing what was declared TO be the
impending agricultural crisis.
Unless all indications fail, the Pres.
ident, in his first message to congress
will insist that legislation TO relieve
the situation be given precedence over
all other business.
The President stated that he was
'loath TO resort" to war powers con
ferred upon him by the trading with
the enemy act, which would enable
him TO place an embargo ON agricul.
tural imports. This law has not beer
repealed. Rather, he will look TO con.
gress for the early enactment Of emer.
gency tariff legislation which will save
the situation by placing heavy duties
on agricultural products.
With Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace leading the discussions, the cab.
met went extensively into the situa.
Iion, which disclOses that:
l. Millions Of tons of wool and 9th.
er products are being poured into the
country practically free of duty.
2. Foreign exporters are piling up
huge stocks of their goods in ware
houses here, taking advantage OF
favorable exchange rates.
The President declared that this
situation, dangerous in itself, assumed
tremendous" proportions when it was
found that it actually threatened the
agricultural self-sufficiency" of the
country. American farmers and live
stock r~aisers, unable to combat the
influx Of foreign importations, are
abandoning or cutting down their in
terests. This was found to result di-
srectly in a great reduction Of Ameri-
can agricultural productivity.
There clearly must be some inn
mediate relief Of the agricultural sit
nation, or we shall lose our flocks and
our herds" was the way in which one
cabinet member described the danger"
