President HeydIer, of the National

effort to befog the real issue. by in
structing two players, Second Base
man Sammy Bohne, and Leftfielder
Pat Duncan of the Cincinnati Reds,
to bring suit against Collyer's Eye

gamblers had approached them in an
effort to have a game with the New

OHara issued a statement today in
which he declared no money would
be spared in cooperating with Lands
in investigating the charges that a
syndicate of professional gamblers
had been preying. or endeavoring to
prey, upon organized base ball"

Bert E Collyer, publisher of Collyer's
Eye, Chicago sports weekly. which
recently printed charges that players
Bohne and Duncan of the Cincinnati
Reds had been approached by gam

Heydler of unjustifiably attacking his
paper duu uTScu d tuoiou5h ihSCo-

"Collyer's statement has no bearing
whatever in the case, so far as l am
concerned" President Heydler de-
clared. IF there is any basis for his
charges I want to know it and at my
suggestion, the players involved will
begin legal action against the publi-

truth or falsity. That seems to me to
be the best way to proceed right now"

HUNT FOR SECRET OF LIFE
Dream Of Every Scientist, Although
Always Regarded az Widely
improbable Thing.

A hunt more exciting than any man.
laboratories of some Of the most ad-
venturous Of biological chemists-a
hunt for the secret of life
1t is now seriously hoped by some
of the more advanced scientists that
the secret of the causation Of life may
be discovered-that 1t may be possible
to find the formula which will open
the door Of the creation Of new liv-
ing things.
Some years ago a scientist described
to the British association experiments
which he believed tended to prove
that new life had been created in a
test tube, but critics proved that there
was some flaw In the proceedings
that the spark of life hau crept in I'M
observed>and had not been created.
Efforts are now being made to ar
rive at the point of discovery along
the road of chemistry-to discover the
exact combination Of oxygen, nitrogen,
and so forth, that goes to make up the
term of life.
One scientist Is already said to have
made synthetic eggs'-that is, to
have compounded substances which
had the taste Of eggs, and 1t is claimed
that real hens eggs in an infertile
state-lncapable OF developing into
chickens-will, if treated with lithium
chloride, manifest The signs of life and
undergo developments for few days.
These infertile eggs, fertilized with
lithium chloride, have not yet pro
duced chickens-after a few days the
development stops-but hope Is not
abandoned that the secret of intro
ducing effective life into an infertile
egg by chemical means may be found.
The starting of life in frogs eggs has
also been contrived merely by prick
ing holes in them, but here also the
process stops after a few hours.
The idea Of being able to create
life Is so colossal that some scien-
lists and most thinking people smile at
1t, and regard it as wildly improbable.

was custom for an old person to

it to Buddhist temple to be prayed
