morrow when Mr.. Newberry plans 10
take the floor to defend himself
against charges of corruption in the
Michigan elections. The senator whose
claim is being contested by Henry
Ford, his Democratic opponent ON the
ground that about s250,000 was spent
to win tho nomination and election,
will read prepared speech and, ac-
cording to plans, will submit to ques-
tions by any senator so long as the
queries are reasonable"
The senate faces probably fun
week of discussion of the controversy
which had its inception in the Michl-
gan elections of 1918 in which 1t is
said President Wilson urged Henry
Ford to participate.
Chairman Hull of tho Democratic
national committee declared that al
most incredible are the news reports
that the president is even remotely
using tho moral influence Of his great
office to seat Newberry by becoming
voluntary character witness and
thereby to sanction the orgies OF clec-
ton corruption"
Mr.. Hull warned that the partisan
Republicans may overlook the cnor-
nifty of the charges and the gravity
of the offensc but that the American
people will not close their eyes' TO

aware, the statement says that IL MIR.

St Cloud Mimi. Jan. s.-An unsuc-

The two men went hunting yesterday
for geese and left Las Animas about
noon in an automobile. They apparent
ly shot several geese which fell on the
ice in the lake. The men built a sort of
raft to "scoot" out on the ice to bring
back the game but the ice gave way
and the raft went into the water.
Orr's body was found on the raft.
McGillivcrays body was found in seven
feet of water. 1t is possible that both
men froze to death. Orr on the raft
and McGilliveray while attempting to
hold onto the raft. The position in
which McGilliveray's arms were found
shows that he had been holding to
something and becoming exhausted or
possibly unconscious sank into the
water. Several geese were on the raft.
When the hunters failed to return
home last night. their families became
worried a searching party of friends
was quickly formed and hastened to
the lakes. They found the automobile
with the mems overcoats and guns In
it but found no trace of the bodies un-
til daylight. At o'clock this morning,
the raft was discovered and with it
Orr's body. McGilliveray's body was
found about noon.

the report said. Under these cir

three other states are represented.
Evans Hellstrom, captain, played
his first basketball for Evanston
high school. Hellstrom as a sopho-
more earned varsity letters in the
football, basketball and track and
would probably have kept going at
this gait but his leg was broken
during summer vacation. This is
his first basketball since 1921.
Walter Roettger, champion for

They both had a chance against
Notre Dame and acquitted them

serves much credit because he was
dropped from the freshman SQUAD
last season. Undaunted, he stuck
to the game and is receiving his re-

Schroeder, physical director at the
University of Iowa, declared here.
The general attitude of the schools
of the conference is against boxing
on any kind of varsity scale. and
there is little likelihood of having
the ring sport placed on the list OF
inter-school sports for several sea-
sons.
"The subject of boxing was not
even mentioned at the last meet
ings OF the conference board"
Schroeder said.

las matter of fact, the big ten
heads never have approved much
Of the sport" he explained. "The
disapprcyal voiced by the confer
ience officials is not because of the
nature of the sport itself, butrath-
er on account of the attitude of
the spectators.
Boxing at the present time is
IN the same situation that Wrestling
was in a few years ago. At thae
ume there was the same attitude

His Grand Average Over Period Of
IS Tears Shows Percentage
Of .S72

New York, Dec. 2s.-As q lifetime
hitter. Ty Cobb stands alone in the
American league. Figures compiled
today for the first time show that
he. batter well enough In 1922 to
raise his average for Is years in
big league baseball to 1913. The
Georgia Peach, with the blush OF
the sunset still on his cheeks, has
outbatted them all through the
years, although he has lost his
crown as batting king Of the
American league for only one sim
gle season.
Sisler, as we. know, now is the
champion batsman 30 far as the
highest percentage for single sea-
son is concerned, but Ty has played
Is hard years in the American
league and during almost all of
that time he has been the Jupiter
Of the leagues batting system.
After delving through q mass of
box scores large enough to fill a
freight elevator it was discovered
today that big Ed Delhanty, the old
Cleveland boy who walked the
whole length Of his state to join
his first team over in West Vir-
ginia in the days when minor
leagues we're too poor to advance
money to players, is the daddy of
them all in the National league az
a lifetime hitter for Is or more
years.
This title has trembled in the
balance for a long time. First it
was given to Arson, then to Billy
Hamilton and to Hans Wagner, but
| it belongs without question to Del
hanty. Cleveland was the BIRTH
place of this old-timer who could hit
the ball at his knee or over his
shoulder and>smash it into the next
state His percentage for is years,
Is in the National, one in the Play
ers' league and two in the Ameri-
can was .346. Cobb, of course, has
it on him but in a rival league. Del
hanty is credited to the National
for he began there and his record is
that Of National league player.
Wherever Delhanty played he left
a record, but Philadelphia saw him
at his best.
With the completion of 1922 Cobb
was 8757 times at bat, not counting
bases on balls or the times he was
hit by a pitched ball. BY the con-
clusion of another year Cobb un-
doubtedly will have faced the pitch
