ASSA|LS MEMBER
OF FARM BUREAU
Senator Norris Charges Gray
| Silver With Holding Up
| Muscle Shoals Project.

Declaring that Gray Silver, the
iseislative representative of the
American Farm Bureau Federation
in washington, has been instrumental
in holding up the development OF the
Muscle Shoals water power project
simply because the Ford people have
demanded it," Senator Norris of Ne
braska, chairman Of the Senate COM
n.ittee on agriculture, yesterday is
sued a statement attacking Mr.. Sill
vers position and the Ford offer for
the project
Alleges Effort to Deceive.
Senator Norris questioned the
statement Of Mr.. Silver that Congress
by approving acceptance OF the Ford
offer could reduce the price Of nitro
gen used as fertilizer by three
fourths, saying:
MIR. silver is trying to deceive the
American farmer by injecting into
the Ford offer something that is not
there. The Ford offer makes no such
guaranty and offers no such promise,
and Mr.. Silver knows that the impli-
cation ne Is trying to draw from Mr..
Ford's offer is absolutely untrue"
Makes Further Charges.
The Nebraska senator further de-
clared the American Farm Bureau
Federation "bolsters up his misrep-
resentation by quoting from the re-
port of an engineer employed by Mr..
Bernard Baruch to investigate the
Muscle Shoals proposition" and after
quoting the portion Of the engineers
report dealing with the liability of
Mr.. Ford. said:
Those Of us who have opposed the
acceptance OF Mr.. Ford's offer in the
past have often severely criticised
and denounced because we said Ford
was not personally liable except to
the extent that he agreed to form
corporation with s10.000,000 capital
but now comes Mr.. Silver
himself, and from his own evidence
or his own engineer. 1t is admitted
that Ford has no personal liability"

END
CAREER AT ITS
TOPM0ST HEIGHTS

New York, May 1.-THE passing of
Al MamauX, veteran Brooklyn pitch
CT, from baseballs big top" recalls a
career that reached suddenly the
topmost heights of hrilliance only to
have its star dimmcd By d series of
misfortuncs.
After having a sensational record
in college ranks, MamauX was signed
by Pittsburgh in 1913. Two Years
of seasoning lipened him for a bril-
liant campaign in 1915, when he won
p and lost eight games. ranking
third in effectiveness among National
League mcundsmen. An operation
for appendicitis stopped his streak
Il month before the close OF the sea-
son, but tic following year he show
Cd only slightly less ability, winning
Il and losing -
From place among the leading
hoXmCn to the bottom OF the rank
ing list was Mamauy's fate in 1917.
His arm went bad and he won but
two games and lost eleven.
Sold to Brooklyn in 1918, Wilbert
Robinson. Dodger pilot, worked pa
ticntly to restore MamauX's effcc-
tivencSS and in 1919 and 1920 he
displayed some of his old cunning,
aiding Brooklyn to capture the pen
nant in the latter year. But his arm
troubled him in 1921, when he did
not work a full game all year. Last
year he worked but one complete
game. This year his pitching arm
was slightly injured as result OF
being thrown when the ship on which
he was bound for training camp COL
lidcd with another boat in New York
haroOr. Whether from the effect Of
this mishap or not. he failed to round
into condition and the Dodgers re-
leased him outright to the Bridgeport,
Conn, club Of the Eastern League.

for some time. The Jamaica Kid,
who was one OF Jack Dempsey's best
sparrins partners in preparing for
previous bouts probably will be re-
engaged to accompany Tiger Jack"
to Montana, where the champion will
work out for his July 4th duel with
Tom Gibbons
The Jamaica Kid is credited with
the invention of the rabbit punch"
which he showed to Dempsey, and
which the latter demonstrated in his
mill with Brennan. This blow has
been barred in many places. and the
colorcd boxer was not allowed its
use when he fought Smith in this
city. jeff has agreed to give Jamaica
a chance with his rabbit punch" in

cd, in return, that the bronze man
shall make 165 pounds.

Advocates Less
Number Tickets
to Harvard Football

Cambridge, Mass, May IA
drastic reduction in the customary
allotments of football tickets to Har-
ward games should he made, a COM
mittce appointed by the Harvard
Athletic Committee reported tonight
The report. issued by Fred w.
Moore, graduate treasurer of tho
Harvard Athletic Association, stated
that the time IS coming when no
graduate can expect to obtain more
than one ticket for the game with
YaTe and that a graduate cannot rea-
sonably expect to have a seat in the
section between the goal posts more
than twice in sixteen years. and then
he is apt to be placed in an undeSir-
able location.
Should the Harvard Athletic Com
mittce approve the report members
of the varsity football squad will re-
cCive eight instead Of ten tickets for
the Yale game, while the quotas of
the second and freshman teams will
be cut from six to four. The COM
mittee recommended that the head
coach, captain, manager and grad
uate treasurer continue to receive
fifteen tickets, while old letter men
in football should receive two instead
of the usual four tickets.
The report places President Lowell
in the same category as the governor
Of the state and the mayors of Bos-
ton and Cambridge recommending
that they be allotted not more than
six tickets.
Undergraduate of the college and
the engineering school who apply for
a single ticket will be given prefer
encc over all applicants If the re-
port is adopted.
The committee. appointed last fall
to study the present system of dis
tribution and to present plans for re-
vision if necessary aside from adj
vocating the curtailment Of tickets
to the so-called privileged classes,
urged no RADICAL changes in the sys-
TEN which has been in effect since
1911.
