INDIANS HAVE PITCHERS
WHO CAN HIT

There is popular baseball faIlacy
that pitchers aren't supposed TO hit.
but there are a couple OF chuckers
on the Seattle club who will add con-
siderable hitting strength TO the
indian lineup when they are on the
hill. One is Studs Sutherland who
Is rated as one OF the most effective
hitting pitchers in the game. and the
other Is Vic Pigg. The latter served
as an outfielder in many games in
the Western league last year because
OF proficiency with the stick.

SENATORS TO PROBE
MUSCLE SHOALS BID
Agriculture Committee Issues Sub

Private Secretary.
TELEGRAMS ARE IMPOUNDED
Testimony Heard Is Unfavorable
to Manufacturers Offer.

The determination of the Senate
agriculture committee to delve deep
ly into the proposed disposition of
Muscle Shoals was demonstrated
further yesterday when Chairman
Norris issued a subpoena for Henry
Ford's private secretary.
The subpoena called for the ap
pearance of f. II. Liebold before the
committee on May 2. He will be
questioned regarding Ford's bid for
Muscle Shoals and kilograms ex-
changed between him and James NJ.
Miller. former Washington corre-
spondent, and William J. Cameron,
an employe of the Dearborn Inde-
pendent, Ford's weekly newspaper.
The kilograms were brought before
the committee yesterday in response
to a subpoena served on III. F. Taft,
district superintendent of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. The
kilograms were impounded by the
chairman and he refused last night
to disclose the contents.
Whether Henry Ford will be sub
poenaed to appear before the com
mittce was still undetermined last
night. Chairman Norris said he did
not know yet whether it would be
necessary to summon Ford.
II do not care to discommode Mr..
Ford unless il is necessary Chair
man Norris said.
Secretary Weeks, who has opposed
the Ford bid, will be the first witness
