One of the first blunderS to which

Failed to Start Right.
We failed to start our players
right in the Spring of 1924, and they
never went right" said the presid ant
of the Cleveland club. Il thought we
had winning team, and l had plenty
OF company. Everybody told us we
had the greatest batting outfit since
the Big Four played for Detroit. and
we set too much store by that fact.
but what good are ba tiers if they
can't win pennants for you? All my
life 1 have had IT dinned into my ears
that team of great batters could
swat six kinds of colors out of a
pennant. whether they had much of
anything else or not.f- We had bat
hag full iH Stephenson, Jameson
Speaker, Myatt, Sewell, Shaute, Burns
and Uhle. They batted .S36 and they
made $3.50 hits-a most astounding
feat-but that didn't get US out of
the second division. We patd for our
own mishandling of the team, aid ed
by some bad luck.
However, that doesn't alter the
fact that you can have eight players
on team batting at high altitude
and still never get a Whit Of the
world series returns if your players
don't do anything but bat"
Just what will Cleveland do in
1925 to utilize all this great batting
strength that went to waste in 1924?r
the Cleveland club president was
asked.
He looked over into next year as
Ear as he could see, reflected for q
moment and then replied:
We'll. / guess we will begin play

Meanwhile, even If Washington did
win the 1924 pennant, and even if
Babe Ruth did make Il lot of home
runs that some people thought he
was getting too old to make, one
should not overlook the 1924 per-
formance of the lowly Indians. who

averaged 1896 and collected almost 10, 600

Former Veterans Bureau d.

WASHINGTON, March 1. =
Charles r. Forbes, former dire-tor
of the Veterans Bureau. declai ID In
a statement he welcomed the indict-
ments returned against him yester-
day in Chicago.
He said he looked upon them
with a clear conscience because
they will permit me to present my
ase.~before fair court of justice
and a jury of my peers"
Forbes said he would 'interpose
no technical objection to trial.,
but ON the contrary would go to
Chicago voluntarily ''as the first step
toward my compl vindication."
He characterized the accusations
against him as "a hell-engendered
conspiracy against my honor and in
tegrity."
The former veterans director add
ed he was mot going to Florida"
despite the fact that "other men now
charged publicly with crimes against
the government have been reported
as hiding behind the screen of ILL
health"
Forbes attorneys made plans to-
day to summon about forty witnesses
for the defense including Mrs. Caro-
lima Votaw, a sister of the late Pres
ident Harding. They would not indi-
cate what evidence would be sought
from her.
