MacNider Pledges Support
OF Veterans to President
in His Fight for Ade-
quate Fleet.

lNDIANAPOLIS.-The proposed re-
duction of the navy by congress is
disastrous and a threat to national
safety" Hanford MacNider, national
commander OF the American Legion,
said in telegram to President Hard.
ing today pledging the support of his
organization to the president in his
fight for an adequate navy.
Influences in congress are trying
to make the United States second rate
naval power, Mr.. MacNider declared,
The telegram said:
"The safety of our whole country
depends first of all upon the navy. 1t
is our first line of national defense in
time of war and must be kept ready
as an impregnable bulwark behind
which complete national mobilization
can be effected. Never again can we
hope to prepare behind the fleet of
another nation as we did in the
world war.
That officers and men must be
trained for war in time of peace was
shown in the late war when we spent
the 1lrst year or our participation in
expanding and training our navy for
action due 10 unreadiness.
"The sense of false security en-
gendered by unnamed ships would
be fatal in the time of stress. The
American Legion is squarely behind
the administration in its stand and
believes that when the country at
large awakens to the magnitude OF
this threat at our national safety II
will make itself heard IN language
unmistal;able."

BY HENRY I. FARRELL,

Omitted Press Sports Editor).
NEW YORK, Sept. 6 Omitted
Press) Phil Douglas has no
chance TO get back into organized
baseball. Even though he may have
reasons TO say and prove that he
didn't know what he was doing
when he wrote his fishing letter"
he admits writing Il. To let him
back in the game would establish a
precedent that would make It i'm
possible to deal drasically with any
similar work in the future.
Some fans believe that Douglas
was punished too severely. John
Heydler, president Of the National
League, said he had been asked by
several persons II the punishment
could not have been made lighter.
He replied that the attitude of the
league officials was that Douglas
was unfortunate, but that no mercy
could be considered IL the game is
20 be kept clean.
When more than 100000 fans will
sign a petition to permit the Black
sox to return to baseball, it is not
surprising that some would con-
slider a fine or reprimand sufficient
punishment for Douglas.
The New York Club is entitled to
a lot of credit for taking such
prompt action in confronting Doug
las with the evidence and placing
him at once on the ineligible list
However. there are other angles to
be considered. The letter fell first
into the hands of Branch Hickey,
manager OF the st. louis Cardinals.
The Giants could have done nothing
else without the consent OF St.
Louis.
II would seem that the one most
dangerously involved was the player
who received the letter and he is
entitled to the greatest credit for
turning it over to the officials. If
that letter had gotten into any other
hands before 1t came to the writer.
he would have had a terrible time
proving himself innocent.
The best thing that could happen
in the future would be TO get evil
dence against the gamblers who
have approached players in the
past and who will do 1t again in the
future.
Douglas claims that he was offer
ed $4,000 to throw games in the

to remember is that the amount
OF courtesy to which a player
Is entitled is not 10 be measured

But II should not require any

course ahead is clear. Nor
