INDIANS AND YANKEES
SHOULD FIND 1T OUT
SAYS FARRELL
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL

Omitted Press Stamff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 17.-Up and
down Broadway. they're talking of
private worlds series on the Polo
grounds next fall.
The Gotham bugs are sure that the
major league pennants will drop into
the arms of the Giants and the Yam
KEGS.
In disposing of the American
League pennant, however, there is
just the slightest concern to find ont
what iris Speaker Will have to say
about evacuating the front line
trenches that he took last fall,
Looking over the worlds champion
Indians, one gets fairly hit in the
face with the impression that iris
Speaker will have quite lot to say.
Speaker thinks so well of his cham
pions that he didn't turn a hand all
winter to improve the club. Other
clubs went through hectic winter in
trades and attempted trades, but
Speaker went hunting.
On dope, unreliable as it may be
sometimes, the Cleveland tribe should
rerpeat and win their second pennant
in a row.
They face he same rosy prospects
that the Cincinnati Reds had last
spring but 1t is almost certain fact
that Speaker will not allow the In
dams to follow the wild ways that
wrecked the Moran bunch.
"Duster" Mails practically won the
pennant for the Indians last year
That sterling southpaw came just n
the opportune moment when the
great Stan Coveleski and Jim Bagby
were about to break down under the
terrific burden of carrying the club
alone. Mails stepped in and won
every game he pitched.
He should be just as good this
season and working regularly with
the other pair Of stars, Speaker ought
to have about the best staff in the
league.
The Indian boss says he would not
be surprised to see his trio turn in
rs victories during the season. II
they do and if the other members or
the staff do no bettre than break in
their starts, the pennant Is sure Tor
Ohio.
1t was thought last fall that
Speaker would try to get more eX-
perienced short stop to take the place
of the game kid, Joey Sewell but
the Indian Chief is going to stick
to him and claims that he will be
the star of the year.
Only the New York Yankees seem
to stand in the way of the Indians and
the rag. The White SoX are abso-
lutely gone and the St. Louis Browns
are very uncertain.
The Yanks aren't much better
than they were last year and they
weren't good enough then.

WILSON BREAKS
SECLUS|ON To
GREET TbA[F0UR
Visit Purely Social, British Say.
But French Suspect
inimical Move.
BY International News Service

Considerable surprise and a flood
Of speculative gossip was evident in
diplomatic circles here today when
1t became known that A. ]. Balfour,
head of the British delegation to the
conference, was received by former
President Wilson at his street
home a few days ago.
The visit marks the first departure
Mr.. Wilson has made from his policy
Of not receiving foreigners here for
the conference. This policy on the
part Of the former President was at
tributed to his fear that his oppo-
nents might raise the cry OF Evil
son meddling" in the conference.

Of France, and other distinguished

none has been received. except Mr..

Balfour's visit caused particularly

Mr.. Wilson is known to have OK.
pressed to intimate friends his fears
of Frances imperialistic ambitions
and their possible effect on the peace
Of the world. While still President he
spoke pointedly about "militarists he-

There was a great deal OF specula-

visit was not made the occasion for a
talk on French policies. as Balfour and
Wilson hold similar views on the mat.
ter of Frances policy in Europe.

The man here agreed to purchase H.

There they met two men. one liv-

suit of the death Of Virginia Rappe,
film actress, following gay drink
ng party" given by the film coined
ian here Labor Day, drew near a
close today.
Arbuckle Faces Grilling.
Unless there are unexpected delays
the defense will rest its case Satur-
day morning. One feature that may
prolong it is the grilling cross ex-
animation to which the obese screen
star will be subjected IL he takes the
stand.
Despite the anxiety OF Arbuckle to
go on the stand, 1t Is not at all
certain he will mount the witness
chair. Gavin McNab, his chief
counsel, who has the final say, has
not definitely decided.
The feature Of today's proceedings
was expected to be the appearance
Of a number of more or less promi-
nent stars Of the Hollywood movie
colony. The defense denied that
Alice Lake was to head this con.
tingent, although she was reported
in San Francisco today.

Mrs. Meredith Will Not Take
Stand for Graham in
Humes Case.

An emphatic denial that his wife
would appear as witness for Lori
mer C. Graham, Of Washington, who
is suing Augustus L. Humes, of
New York, for 100000 for aliena.-
ing the Affections of his former wife,
now Mrs. Humes, was made today
by William Payne Meredith, Of this
city, brother-in-law Of Mrs. Humes,
Says Wife Knows Nothing Of Case
Mrs. Meredith knows nothing in
connection with the Graham-Humes
case to the discredit OF her sister and
has no idea Of appearing as a wit
ness" Mr.. Meredith declared In
answer to reports that both Mrs
Meredith and he were to appear al
witnesses for Graham.
Although there is some feeling
between the Meredith family and the
Portners as a result of the contest
over the will OF Paul V. Portner
which is now pending in the supreme
court of appeals in Virginia, Mr.
Meredith was emphatic in his state
ments that the will case and the
love suit which starts Monday, have
nothing to do with each other, and
in view of this fact declared he
could see no reason why Mrs. Mere.
dith and he should appear as wit
nesses for Graham.
Not Likely To Be Subpoened.
1t was pointed out that as Mr..
Meredith and his wife live in Chevy
Chase. Nd, neither OF them could
be subpoenaed al witnesses in the
case unless they were served with
the papers while in Washington.
Suppose you are subpoenaed In
Washington. while you are at your
Officer" Meredith was asked.
In that case l would have to ap-
pear as a Witness" he replied, but
testify to would be as to Graham 8
character merely a character witness, -
he finished.
Referring to a fist fight In the
courtroom at Manassas. Va. on June
S, 1920, between Congressman Henry
F. Flood, John s. Barbour, an attor-
ney. and himsellf, Mr.. Meredith de-
MED that Flood broke a cane over his
head or struck him.
The entire matter was disregarded
by the court at the time, and when
the case was tried on its merits some
weeks later. absolutely no attempt
was made to maintain the statements
contained In affidavits which Barbour
denounced as pack Of lies and
which led to the disturbance in the
court" said Meredith.
Estate Far Overvalued.
After hearing the evidence for
nearly three weeks touching on the
validity Of the will. the jury returned
a verdict sustaining the document.
The Paul v. Porener will was drawn
In June. 1917, and bequeathed practi.
cally the entire income from his es-
tate to his sister, Mrs. Eta Portner
Meredith, for life, and at her death
the entire estate to her daughter.
Sylvia C. Meredith. The estate was
valued at about $3.50, 900 and not ST.
500, 900 as reported, Mr.. Meredith
said.
Mr.. Portner died in New York
more than two years after the will
was drawn. The case is now pend
ing in the supreme court of appeals
of Virginia, as the Portners appealed
the case. and will probably be heard
In Richmond next January.
"It might be Of interest to note
that the chief counsel for the con-
testants, John Lee, Of Lynchburg,
Va, has since withdrawn from the
case and has filed suit in the courts
at Manassas against his clients for
his legal services" Mr.. Meredith de-
