lacked control and got very
far. Being fast and able to hit
fairly well, he was used at first base
and in the outf1eld.
His next stopping place was Phila-
delphia, going to Connie Mack via
a trade. He improved under Mack,
but southpaw pitching bothered him
some. Then came a transfer to
Cleveland. He was thrown in as
excess baggage in a deal that sent
Bobby Roth to Philadelphia.
Under iris Speaker, Jameson ar
rived. He has overcome his fault,
inability to hit s~outhpaws, and now
stands as a player without a single
weakness. He's a real star.
Other players who will receive
serious consideration are Babe Ruth,
Harry Heilmann, Urban Shocker,
Eddie Collins, Howard Ehmke, Fred
Haney, Roger Peckinpaugh and per-
haps a dozen others.
Babe Ruth, in the best condition
of his career. has been a wonderful
help to The Yankees, e though
he isn't breaking any home-run
records. The work of Eddie Collins
is the outstanding feature of the
White Sox play. Shocker is hav-
ing a whale of a year with the
Browns. Howard Ehmke. with the
Boston Red Sox, has been one of
the pitching sensations of the
majors, winning practically half of
the victories scored by his club, a
tailender.
Heilmann is having another great
year at the bat. Fred Haney is one
of the best utility players in the
majors. Roger Peckinpapgh is fool
ing the experts by a great comback.
These and many other players
have done big things for their clubs
in the American League. But it is
questionable if any n of them has
been more valuable than feet

MRS. HAYES NOT
I ALARMED OVER
SUIT
Woman Who Passed SchWab
Note for $25, 900 Calmly
Awaits Hearing.

NEW YORK, May 11.--Mrs.
Myrtle B. Hayes. attractive middle
aged Boston real estate promoter,
and formerly Dallas, Tex. mil
liner, who is charged with having
misused the name Of Charles M.
Schwab, the steel manufacturer in
business deals, was more than ever
woman of mystery today. She
maintained her calm, smiling man
ner and indicated she was not at
all alarmed over her predicament.
The woman who, it is alleged,
naively told business men that
Schwab was her friend and would
back her for 81 100000, Is out on
$40, 900 ball on a charge Of forging
Schwab's name to a $25,000 note.
Neither Mrs. Hayes nor Schwab
broke their silence today. Mrs.
Hayes indicated she would like to
talk for publication but had been
advised by her attorney not to do
Myrtle B. Hayes, attractive middle
next week. Schwab had nothing
to add to his statement before the
grand jury that the note which
bore his signature was forgery.
Henry A. Mark, real estate
lawyer, who discounted the ques-
toned note for Mrs. Hayes has be-
gun action against Schwab to re-
so pending her formal pleading
upon which the endorsement &C. NJ.
Schwab" appears. This action was
taken despite Schwab's statement
that he had not endorsed the note.
Mrs. Hayes has decided to remain
in New York until the hearing
next week. According to friends,
this mysterious woman with a re-
fined, winning personality, was
born in Missouri, had successfully
conducted a millinery shop in Dali
las, worked as a buyer in a Chicago
department store and ran shop in
New York, the Myrtle Bowman,
